Ivan Kuliak, letter "Z", Russian gymnast

The Russian gymnast won a bronze medal at a gymnastics World Cup event in Doha, but that is not the reason why he attracted a lot of attention, and now he is threatened with punishment.

- The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) confirms that it will ask the Gymnastics Ethics Foundation to open disciplinary proceedings against Ivan Kuliak following his shocking behavior at the Apparatus World Cup in Doha, Qatar - it is stated in the announcement.

Instead of the medal, which shone on his chest, there is much more talk about the symbol of the letter "Z" which was taped to his leotard, which is the same as on the military vehicles of the Russian army in Ukraine.

Some believe that the operation was named "Operation Z", based on the conspicuous letter "Z", which is the marking on Russian tanks and other military vehicles.

Russian Defense Ministry explained

However, none of the above assumptions are the real reason for the use of symbols on vehicles. As the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation explained on 3 March, they chose the Latin letters "Z" and "V" on their vehicles as symbols of special expressions.

According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the letter "Z" means "For victory" and the letter "V" - "Strength in truth" and "The task will be fulfilled".
