Angry patriots,[a][1] also known as the war party,[2] Z-patriots,[b][3] turbopatriots, ultrapatriots,[4] and megavatniks,[5] are a loose group of Russian ultranationalist political commentators and milbloggers in support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but critical of what they see as ineffective or incompetent prosecution of the war by the Russian government.[6][7]
Political experts in Russia and in the United States have described the far-right ultranationalist opposition to Putin as possibly "the most serious challenge" to the Russian regime.[8][9][10]
