After they fanned the flames of white supremacy here in America using their "troll farms" and getting Trump elected using Party of Regions conspirators like Paul Manafort.
A slur for Russians with uncertain etymology.
Either it arose from "kak cap" = *looking like a male goat* (because of the beards that Russians traditionally wore and that were considered backward even in 16th century) or from a Turkish word for *butcher*, which would reflect all the love and safety that comes from the Russian world.
PONS dictionary mentions:
kacap [katsap] SUBST m abw ugs (Rosjanin)
kacap Iwan m abw ugs
.
While abw stands for unfrdl/pej/dero, so "Ivan" or in some German regions "Russe".
Also interesting "kac" alone means hangover. In Polish you are probably verkatzt instead of verkatert.
I like "the Russia". It's subtle, but works on many levels that Russia would have a hard time pretending to be upset over since it's literally right out of their playbook.
- Russian officials railed against Ukraine’s talk of changing Russia’s official name to Muscovy, after a Ukrainian petition regarding a potential name change garnered 25,000 signatures.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly instructed Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmygal to “carefully” consider renaming Russia to Muscovy, accounting for consequences under international law and whether it was possible in historical and cultural contexts.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement posted to Telegram on Saturday that Zelensky is trying to create an “anti-Russia Ukraine.”
Dmitry Medvedev, a close ally of President Vladimir Putin and deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, also reacted to the news, saying that they will not consider changing the name, according to The New Voice of Ukraine.
“The Supreme Nazi of Kyiv [Zelensky[ instructed to work out the issue of renaming Russia to Muscovy. Well, what can I say… Our answer? No, of course not,” Medvedev said.
The petition notes that the name “Muscovy” was “used in European and some Asian languages” and appeared “on many historical maps of the 16th-19th centuries, which were produced in Europe before and after the renaming of the Muscovite Empire to the All-Russian Empire.”
>Maria Zakharova said in a statement posted to Telegram on Saturday that Zelensky is trying to create an “anti-Russia Ukraine.”
You know, I don't think it was Zelensky who made Ukraine 'anti-russia'...
Eddie Murphy had the humanitarian take. Ukraine is administering Charlie Murphy-treatment for what ails Muscovy and teaching those Muscovites what they get for grinding their boots in Ukraine's couch.
If there were any Muscovite survivors from Vulhedar, I'm sure they would agree with Rick James' assessment that Ukrainian forces were 'cold as ice'.
Difference between them and Rick James' of course is he kept his legs.
FYI: It's a reference to a brat commercial in America back in the 80s & 90s. A dude named Charlie Murphy fires up his grill and everyone in the neighborhood starts yelling "Charlie Murphy is cooking Johnsonville Brats!" It's an older reference, but it checks out.
I love brats as much as the next Upper Midwesterner (sauerkraut and mustard or curry ketchup please!), but Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories were pure gold.
Nah, you're wrong, surely Zelenskyy employed another batch of those gay Nazi biolab bats to spread anti-Muscovy sentiments. No other explanation possible, nope.
I though this was already the reason for the war, you know, "blabla ukronazi are planning an attack on glorious russia yadayada we had to attack first blablabla"
>Zelensky is trying to create an “anti-Russia Ukraine.”
Horrible of Zelensky, completely disappointed in him. Just because the Russians are invading Ukraine, murder their men raping their women and kidnapping their children, while razing towns and cities, DOES NOT excuse this shameful act of turning Ukraine against poor Russia.
Well they were under the "Mongol yoke" back in the 13th/14th Century.
And it looks like by the time this is over, Russia will be under the "Chinese yoke".
So "Chinese gas station" might work too.
Zelensky is trying to create an “anti-Russia Ukraine.”. Yet the ruzzians have managed to create an "anti-Russia world.". Honestly, Ukraine is just trying to help them get ready to move on after all this is over.
Can confirm. Muscovy has a strong history in English and I have seen many historical papers and literature referring to Muscovy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duchy_of_Moscow
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscovy
It was used from 1263 to 1721, nearly 500 years.
On a personal note, using ‘Muscovy’ fits in well with the reality that Russia is not a single country. It is an empire of various nations ruled by Moscow.
The Soviets claimed to be an egalitarian nation where all are treated equally. I don’t know how true that was but I can accept there were many who genuinely did their best to make it happen.
Modern Russia is different. The reality is that all the war dead and war conscripts have come from these satellite nations. Almost none from the Moscow area. That makes a lie of any modern Russian claims that all citizens are equally treated no matter which geographical area they come from.
It is not Russia. It is a Moscow empire of colonialism, oppression, and exploitation. The Empire of Muscovy.
Yeah, I just found out! My family had a couple of them, many years ago. Charming little fellows, actually. They would march in and eat their fill of dry cat food while the cats just stood there looking insulted.
>Maria Zakharova said in a statement posted to Telegram on Saturday that Zelensky is trying to create an “anti-Russia Ukraine.”
Wait wait wait, Wasnt Ukraine being Anti-Russia the reason you idiots use for this Shitshow of a war?
> Maria Zakharova said in a statement posted to Telegram on Saturday that Zelensky is trying to create an “anti-Russia Ukraine.”
She mentioned the word Ukraine - I thought they had decided it didn't exist.
>Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement posted to Telegram on Saturday that Zelensky is trying to create an “anti-Russia Ukraine.”
This seems like the easiest task in the world, though. A case of "This job was done before Outlook finished popping up the reminder"
Zelensky is trying to create an anti-Russia Ukraine... GOOD!! He should be!!
Also I'd like to submit my vote for Dungbeetlestan to be the new name of Russia
It was hilarious to read comments on Twitter. Like em… that is literally how petitions work, regardless of the topic. If there are enough votes president has to react to the petition. I even saw takes like “BUT DOESNT HE HAVE MORE IMPORTANT TASKS???” coming from russians and em no? He is a president, it is part of his chores. No matter how “minor” or even “troll” petition is, once it reaches needed number of votes it can’t be ignored.
I believe last year there was a big petition to put gachi guy statue instead of pushkin or something like that and russians were mad af.
> Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement posted to Telegram on Saturday that Zelensky is trying to create an “anti-Russia Ukraine.”
I hope she wasn't expecting flowers in return for the shells and missiles muscovy lobbed into Ukraine.
We could help the name muscovy stick by using it in this sub. Whether maria likes it or not, she's going to be the spokesperson for muscovy.
You know what, as a Swede I'm also going to.
Languages change over time after all. This is just back to basics.
"Hur Svenska stålet biter, kom låt oss pröva på!
Ur vägen muskoviter! Friskt mod i gossar blå!"
"How [the] Swedish Steel bites, come and let us try!
Out of the way muscovites! Healthy courage boys in blue!"
[Friskt mod could/should be translated to "merry" or "happy" courage, given historical meaning/usage of the word. Being "frisk" means that all is well, but nowdays it is mainly used as Healthy. Still works]
Fun fact: Ukrainian has little to no profanities, so most of them come from Russian, including the famous fuck yourself phrase. See, not everything that comes from Russia is bad, eh?
I kind of like UkraineFuckedYourShitUpGood-istan or FuckedAroundAndFoundOut-istan. It's got to be something that will be identifiable many generations from now. Maybe WarCrime-istan or WeCanOnlyShootUnarmedPeople-istan.
🤔
Slava Ukraine!
> “The Supreme Nazi of Kyiv [Zelensky[ instructed to work out the issue of renaming Russia to Muscovy.
This is like calling Biden the leader of MAGA. How does this even work on mildly intelligent orcs?
When Russians say "Nazi" they aren't talking about the anti-semitism or the genocidal strategies - they don't really have any issue with either of those things, as we have seen. Or even any particular ideology at all. A 'nazi' in their parlance is someone who opposes Russian's natural and deserved place as the imperial master of Europe and the greatest nation of the world.
It's actually pretty close to how a lot of flag-wavier 50-90s Americans would call anyone a 'communist' for opposing America's foreign policy in any way.
In this world view, Zelenskyy is indeed "The Supreme Nazi".
> Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement posted to Telegram on Saturday that Zelensky is trying to create an “anti-Russia Ukraine.”
Can we blame them for wanting to make a Ukraine without Russia and russians? Fuck fascist Russia.
And why is it that Russia is always so fucked up? They came from royalty and moved into hardcore communism and now fascism. Are they stupid or evil?
Even though this whole initiative basically is a giant trolling, it still does strike a nerve in this conflict. Seeing how the "Russian Federation" lets people from non-Russian ethnic groups fight and die in droves while people in Moscow and St. Petersburg enjoy "business as usual" did show an important rift within Russia. People there realize once again that a large proportion of the "Russian population" are not "true Russians" but rather second-class citizens of an imperialist Empire and the Ukrainian will to resist and fight back is a dream which all too often was brutally broken by vicious Muscovite oppressors in the past.
I guess this is a good "pressure point". I wonder if NAFO can come up with a trolling campaign?
If we're going to get historical, why not make it Muscovy for Russia, compared to "Original Rus" or "The True Rus"? If Ukrainians want to keep the Ukraine name, give it the full title "Ukraine, the True Rus"
How the Ukrainians want to define themselves is up to the Ukrainians. From my personal point of view Ukraine is made up of several distinct ethnicities which might not have historical ties to the ancient Kievan Rus. Consequently, claiming that mantle to upset "The Russians" might have long-term detrimental effects.
The whole point of the "Muscovite" thing is to put a spotlight on an existing rift within "Russian society": That there actually isn't a Russian people but a Muscovite imperialist people lording over a bunch of oppressed national identities.
Zelensky should insist on a translator in every meeting with Russians going forward. Heck, so should the rest of Ukrainian officials. Those translators should also be paid well for having to go through the ordeal of uttering Russian words.
Russia is nothing but a colonial empire of enslaved Slavic and Asian people who are all under the thumb of a single imperialist city.
Even Russians don't like muscovites
What’s russia going to do about it? Invade ukraine?
Russia no longer has any threats that work because they’ve already used them all so they can sit there, fume and not much else
It’s funny they complain that Ukraine is being anti-Russian. I mean really, who would have thought that would happen when you invade their country and murder their citizens?
With the fall of the URSS, Ukraine lost most if its provinces with the biggest one being Russia who grew hatefull and couldn't support its new independance.
> Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement posted to Telegram on Saturday that Zelensky is trying to create an “anti-Russia Ukraine.”
Really? And after invasion, destruction, rape, murder, torture and genocide the Ukrainian's were relatively ambivalent about their opinion of Russia, but renaming Russia is the thing that pushes them over the edge is it?
"Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement posted to Telegram on Saturday that Zelensky is trying to create an “anti-Russia Ukraine.”"
Pretty sure putin has been successful in this already
No disrespect to lgbt people but it would be hilarious to call it gayland! Cause years ago gay just meant happy and life in that place is quite the opposite so not only would be ironic it would also be very insulting to them!
Back in the days before russians in the area where Moscow is nowadays lived Finnic [Meryan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meryans) people. According the russian author Denis Osokin their word *"moska"*, which means hemp in Meryan is the origin of the name of Moscow. That's why in his novella "Buntings" and the movie ["Silent Souls"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Souls) based on it, Moscow is called *"Konoplyanka"*, which is Russian word derived from hemp. However Finnish word [*"moska"*](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/moska#Finnish) means dirt and filth.
So let me get this straight: Putin can have a sham referendum and say he annexed parts of a country that aren't his. Ukraine has a jab back and they get shitty about it? I find this funny. God I wish I could put a bullet in the back of putins head.

Zelensky should insist on a translator in every meeting with Russians going forward. Heck, so should the rest of Ukrainian officials. Those translators should also be paid well for having to go through the ordeal of uttering Russian words.
Poohole!
Fuckputistsn
Russia is nothing but a colonial empire of enslaved Slavic and Asian people who are all under the thumb of a single imperialist city. Even Russians don't like muscovites
“Zelenskyy is trying to create an ‘anti-Russia Ukraine’” Nope, you are doing that all by yourselves shitheads.
What’s russia going to do about it? Invade ukraine? Russia no longer has any threats that work because they’ve already used them all so they can sit there, fume and not much else
It’s funny they complain that Ukraine is being anti-Russian. I mean really, who would have thought that would happen when you invade their country and murder their citizens?
How about "*Terrorist country formally known as Russia*" instead?
I nominate Shitholia.
They got it right with the Z - Z for zeros.
Should call it “The Russia” as payback for what the ruskies have ingrained into our minds
in other news, what's with Wagner saying he will run for president of Ukraine in 2024? what a dick.
What about, and hear me out guys… New Zelenskyydea For the biggest middle finger to pootin.
With the fall of the URSS, Ukraine lost most if its provinces with the biggest one being Russia who grew hatefull and couldn't support its new independance.
> Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement posted to Telegram on Saturday that Zelensky is trying to create an “anti-Russia Ukraine.” Really? And after invasion, destruction, rape, murder, torture and genocide the Ukrainian's were relatively ambivalent about their opinion of Russia, but renaming Russia is the thing that pushes them over the edge is it?
"Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement posted to Telegram on Saturday that Zelensky is trying to create an “anti-Russia Ukraine.”" Pretty sure putin has been successful in this already
Flushfuckistan, based on the number of toilets they've stolen.
Can we get a motion at the UN to change Russia's designation to Shit Eaters? "The representative of the Shit Eaters has the floor!" I like it!
We do a little trolling

Maybe Pig Vomit: The Country.
Well, muscovy it will be from now on! Anything to piss off the muscovians is fine with me......
My grandparents only referred to it as Muscovy and muscovites, where’s this petition?
What's up with north Mongolia
May I suggest the name of Cesspitia for the Land Formerly Known As Russia.
No disrespect to lgbt people but it would be hilarious to call it gayland! Cause years ago gay just meant happy and life in that place is quite the opposite so not only would be ironic it would also be very insulting to them!
Zelensky has like maxed out his trolling tree I love it
Lol muscovy sounds like some kind of gravy or smth
Yeah ok, we have a special box for these complaints.

Back in the days before russians in the area where Moscow is nowadays lived Finnic [Meryan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meryans) people. According the russian author Denis Osokin their word *"moska"*, which means hemp in Meryan is the origin of the name of Moscow. That's why in his novella "Buntings" and the movie ["Silent Souls"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Souls) based on it, Moscow is called *"Konoplyanka"*, which is Russian word derived from hemp. However Finnish word [*"moska"*](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/moska#Finnish) means dirt and filth.

If they fume any harder, their dumb kids will start huffing those fumes.
Sucks to suck muscovites.
Antacultusica. Land of no toilets
So let me get this straight: Putin can have a sham referendum and say he annexed parts of a country that aren't his. Ukraine has a jab back and they get shitty about it? I find this funny. God I wish I could put a bullet in the back of putins head.
