K-129 carried hull number 722 on her final deployment during which she sank on 8 March 1968. K-129's commander was Captain First Rank V.I. In January 1968, the 15th Submarine Squadron was part of the 29th Ballistic Missile Division at Rybachiy, commanded by Admiral Viktor Dygalo. The Wikipedia website states: "K-129 was a Project 629A (NATO reporting name Golf-II) diesel-electric powered submarine of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, one of six Project 629 strategic ballistic missile submarines attached to the 15th Submarine Squadron based at Rybachiy Naval Base, Kamchatka, commanded by Rear Admiral Rudolf A. With thanks to Svitlana Haverstock for linguistic advice.The picture is apparently loosely based on actual real-life events regarding the sinking in 1968 of the Russian submarine K-129. This is the Russian word for mother, not of itself an insult but so commonly combined with other profanities (see above) that linguists use matershchina, or just mat, as the umbrella term for profane language in Russian and Ukrainian. Yebat’ (ебать): To Fuck. Finally we get there! Most commonly used in the expression Yob tvoyu mat’ (Ёб твою мать): Fuck Your Mother! Or Vashu Mat’ (Bашу мать): Your mother, which is just the second half of its longer equivalent, and slightly less offensive. The Daily Beast counted no fewer than 25 blyat’s in a two-minute clip showing the remains of a Russian convoy destroyed near the town of Bucha. Its success comes from its multifunctionality-other words can be added in front, e.g., suka blyat’-to form limitless new insults that mean whatever you want them to. Khokhol (хохол): From an old Cossack surname (remember Nikolai Gogol?) that the Russians use as a nasty ethnic slur against Ukrainians: such as “Go home to Chernobyl, Khokhol!” (The Ukrainians have similar slurs for Russians, including Katsap, or billy goat, referring to old Russian men with beards.)īlyat’ (блять): Bitch, Fuck, Shit! Not the strongest but definitely the most common profanity heard in Ukraine battlefield videos, so if you only learn one Slavic swear word this should be it. The Ukrainians have a lot of words for it. Kurva (курва): Whore, Shit: Milder Ukrainian swear word, thought to have come from the Polish. PTN PNH (Путин, пошёл на хуй): Putin, go fuck yourself! Another anti-Putin message, seen scrawled in graffiti. Putin khuylo! (Путин- хуйло): Putin is a dickhead! Began as a football chant, but quickly became the rallying cry of Ukrainian resistance after the Russian invasion of the Donbas in 2014. Khuylo (хуйло): Dickhead. Often used with suka as an intensifier to form suka khuylo! What a fucking dickhead! Poshol na khuy (Пошёл на хуй): Fuck you! Another very popular, and rude, insult usually accompanied by a special hand gesture (your right hand palm across the middle of the left arm). Khuy is arguably the bedrock of Russian profanity, most commonly used in the expression “Idi na khuy!” (Иди на хуй!) meaning “go fuck yourself!” That was what the defenders of Snake Island told the Russian warship demanding their surrender on the first day of the conflict. Can also be used to mean something like “clusterfuck,” or an irreparably fucked-up situation, like Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. A derivative of “Pizda,” slightly less offensive. Pizda (пизда): Cunt. Another core Slavic insult, although it has ancient Indo-European roots, if that helps. Suka (сука): Bitch. A common insult across various Slavic languages, including Russian and Ukrainian. There’s also a diminutive, “suchka,” used as a term of endearment.
