Clearly unrelated, but interesting that 'Z' is used as a symbol of rebellion against the junta following a coup d'etat in the film of the same name. Though base

Clearly unrelated, but interesting that 'Z' is used as a symbol of rebellion against the junta following a coup d'etat in the film of the same name. Though based on events in Greece in the 60s, the themes of corruption, intimidation and oppresion of freedom are probably what we would be seeing under a 'Z' controlled Ukraine. The cynic in me thinks that whoever decided on this branding of the Russian invasion knew that it would be a headache to moderate/censor in more open societies due to plausible deniability, as this discussion shows.
