We thought it was so funny that we started singing it all the time. When our grandmother heard this, she screamed "stop it, they have ears everywhere." In fact, for that time it was quite strange, because Russia in the 2000s was a fairly free country.

The ones who say they're apolitical do so because "don't act up and you'll be fine" is how it works in Russia (especially now) and their life has not been impacted much by the events so not much reason to speak out. Now if their lives were to be impacted enough, there would most likely be a lot more open criticism. However in Russia the system has set the threshold for that pretty high, purposefully of course.

honestly I've seen it a lot with russians in social media or elsewhere. They either claim to be apolitical or 'neutral and unbiased', usually when criticising what they believe to be western ideas or media. Putin has been in power for almost 25 years now and he's built a state-controlled media and information landscape that has effectively beaten down the population into either political indifference or cynicism. They either stopped caring and don't think anything will change anyway, or are steeped in conspiratorial thinking.

A lot of "I'm neutral" or "I don't know anything about that". Part of the reason people are comparing Russia to 1939 Germany right now is because of tepid responses like these. Dissenters in 1939 Germany were also punished or killed. So they turned the other way and stayed silent as mass genocide was carried out by their country. There was a quote by a German who lived through these times that I read, and it was something like, "You look back, and remember where if one of you had stood up, maybe the rest would have stood up, but no one stood up."

People in Russia are certainly more reluctant to express views contrary to to the national narrative. However, it should be noted that Russians are more discreet generally & don't just volunteer their political or religious views to strangers on the street (especially on camera, for zero reward). I've been living in Moscow a while & I notice that people don't go in for smalltalk & unsolicited exchanges of opinion. (Prison sentences for "spreading mis/disinformation" of course make people even more reluctant to speak).

I kinda understand the fear and their choice of going along with this situation, but that comes with a price, you sell your soul just to be left alone and be submissive, in line, like a sheep.

If anyone is interesting I can tell you about how I would answer as a Swede in Sweden. In our media they say they think it is marking the region it comes from and that it is Russian. Since Russia invaded Ukraine we have seen the letter Z and V very much. Our media also think it didn't mean anything special to the members of the public before the invasion. But now it has been a big thing for people who supports Russia and they want's to use it as a symbol for victory. But in the west we look at it like, and compare it with the nazi-symbol from WW2. That's because for us Russia is doing exactly what Germany did (invade other country/countries).

The Z is now appearing online, in posters, and leaflets often accompanied with СвоихНеБросаем = "We don't abandon our own" roughly. IE, it's the equivalent in Russia of a "Support our Troops" message here in the states. What it means (other than Western) in the military context, I am not sure.

in military context the Russians marked their vehicles with symbols (Z,V,X,O). Each symbol means from where the troops are coming.
