An ethnic slur used by Russians to describe Ukrainians. It literally means dill, which as ethnic slurs go must be one of the most lame and unimaginative.
It was originally used to describe far-right nationalist Ukrainians and a small number of neo-nazis but following the first Russian invasion of Crimea and Donbas in 2014 it was applied to Ukrainians of all political stripes who came together to defend their country. To many Russians, fed on a diet of Russian propaganda it is synonomous with Nazi as Putin has manipulated the pride felt by Russians for defeating the Third Reich to justify his illegal expansionist war in an effort to create Novorossiya (New Russia).
It was soon adopted as an ironic nickname by some of the. Ukrainian soldiers defending Ukraine from the ultranationalist Russian invaders and a small group of ethnic Russian separatists led by fascist Igor Girkin during the Donbas war of Russian expansion in 2014.
lt was later adopted as the name for a fiscally centre-left and socially centre-right Ukrainian political party who advocate for a social market economy deliberately mislabelled as fascist by Russian shills aiming to deflect from the fascistic actions of Putins regime. The party is now called 'For the Future'
