Someone mentioned Vatnyk

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatnik_(slang)

> Vatnik or vatnyk (Russian: ватник) is a political slur,[1][2] used in Russia and other post-Soviet states based on an internet meme that was introduced in 2011 by Anton Chadskiy, which denotes a steadfast jingoistic follower of propaganda from the Russian government.[3]
