Billboard in the besieged Chernihiv with the slogan in Russian (12 March 2022)

"Russian warship, go fuck yourself"[a] was the last communication made during the February 2022 Russian attack on Snake Island in Ukraine's territorial waters, by border guard Roman Hrybov (also transliterated Gribov). The phrase, and derivations of it, became widely adopted during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3] Weeks later, the phrase was commemorated on a postage stamp by Ukrposhta, the Ukrainian postal service.[4] On his release, Hrybov was awarded a medal for his actions.[5] During his captivity, his family applied for a defensive trademark on the slogan.[6]

Background

On 24 February 2022, two Russian warships began an assault on Snake Island, a Ukrainian island located in the Black Sea. As a small island with only a single village, populated by fewer than 30 people, only a small contingent of 13 border guards were stationed on the island at the time of the attack. During the onslaught, one of the Russian warships taking part in the siege of the island called on the soldiers to surrender in exchange for safety, at which point, the defenders curtly declined the offer, and responded with the remark.[8][9] The exchange leading to it has been translated as:[10]

Russian warship: "Snake Island, I, Russian warship, repeat the offer: put down your arms and surrender, or you will be bombed. Have you understood me? Do you copy?"

Ukrainian 1: "That’s it, then. Or, do we need to fuck them back off?"

Ukrainian 2: "Might as well."

Ukrainian 1: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

"Ukrainian 1" is believed to be Roman Hrybov (also transliterated Gribov).[11][12] Author and academic Alex Abramovich, writing in the London Review of Books, noted that a more literal translation of "Йди нахуй", transliterated as "Idi na khuy", is "Go to a dick", or more idiomatically "Go sit on a dick".[10][13]

Subsequently, Snake Island was captured by the Russian naval forces, and the thirteen soldiers defending it were thought to have been killed in the Russian assault. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced he would "posthumously" award the soldiers on Snake Island with the highest Ukrainian honour, the Hero of Ukraine.[14][15]

On 28 February 2022, the Ukrainian Navy posted on its Facebook page that all the border guards of the island were thought to be alive and detained by the Russian Navy.[16][17] On 24 March 2022, some of the Snake Island border guards, including Roman Hrybov, were returned to Ukraine in a prisoner exchange.[18] On 29 March 2022, Hrybov returned to his native Cherkasy region, and was given a medal for his actions.[5][19][20]

Reception

Recordings of the exchange became widely circulated on the internet and went viral on various social media platforms, and it has since become a rallying cry by both the Ukrainian military and civilians protesting the invasion.[21]

US Senator Ben Sasse mentioned the phrase while speaking on the Senate floor on 28 February: "One Ukrainian after conversing with some of his colleagues a little bit on a recording that many who may have now heard, decided to turn up the volume and he announced, 'Russian warship, idi nakhuy'. [...] That is now the rallying cry of the Ukrainian resistance".[22]

Andrew Keen writing in the Literary Hub noted that as a result of the slogan, "Even the f-word had been weaponized" and that it was now a "popular internet meme of resistance to the Russian invasion".[3] The Washington Post said that "Ukraine is fighting back, one swear word at a time".[23]

Historical comparisons

The Week compared the phrase to "Remember the Alamo" from the 19th century Texas Revolution.[24] The Small Wars Journal likened the phrase to other notable battle taunts such as "Molon labe" (from the Battle of Thermopylae), and "Nuts!" (from the Battle of the Bulge), amongst others.[25]

The phrase also has been compared to the Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks, when the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire Mehmed IV asked for the surrender of the Zaporozhian Cossacks (who lived in modern Central Ukraine), who refused, answering with a profanity-laden letter.[26]

Continued use

On 26 February 2022, the Ukrainian Armed Forces blew up a railroad junction connecting Ukrainian and Russian railways to prevent the Russian army from transporting military equipment and personnel into Ukraine by rail. When the Russian military asked Ukraine to restore the junction for humanitarian reasons, the Ukrainian dispatcher replied, "Russian train, go fuck yourself!".[27]

On 27 February 2022, a Russian ship approached a Georgian oil tanker asking for fuel. The latter replied "Russian ship, go fuck yourself" (русский корабль, иди нахуй). When the Russians complained that they were almost out of fuel, they were told to use their oars.[28][29]

On 7 March 2022, the Russian ship Vasily Bykov, which previously successfully attacked Snake Island and was approaching Odessa, was allegedly hit by Ukrainian defense forces. They celebrated with "we fucking hit them!" and "Russian ship, go fuck yourself."[30] However, on 16 March 2022, Vasily Bykov was seen entering Sevastopol with no damage visible.[31]

In March 2022, Ukrainian band Botashe released a song titled "PNH" (Ukrainian: ПНХ), which predominantly features the phrase.[32]

On 29 March 2022, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense released the "Ukrainian military Oscars" (in tandem with the 94th Academy Awards) and gave the award for Best Picture to the sinking of the Saratov on 21 March, in Berdiansk, and to which it ascribed the mock-film title, "Russian Warship, Go F*** Yourself in Berdyansk".[33]

Commemorative stamp

On 1 March 2022, Ukrposhta, the Ukrainian postal service, launched a stamp design competition on the theme of the phrase.[34][35] On 12 March 2022, the First Deputy Foreign Minister Emine Dzhaparova announced that artist Borys Grokh's work won the popular vote of Ukrposhta for the sketch for the stamp.[4][36] Fact-checking site Snopes said that Grokh had lived in Yevpatoria in the Crimea all his life and was studying to be an artist, but as a result of the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, he was forced to leave his home and had moved to Kyiv and later to Lviv.[37] Snopes quoted that Ukrposhta encouraged Ukrainians to send the same to their "friends abroad or send a fiery "hello" to the Russians".[37]

Trademarking

On 17 March 2022, World Trademark Review (WTR) reported that lawyers for Hrybov, through his family and the Ukrainian military, had filed for an EU trademark for the slogan in both Cyrillic script and in English.[6] The lawyers told WTR that it was needed to respond to hostile filings by clothing companies in the United States and in Lithuania who were also seeking to trademark the slogan.[6] Techdirt commented that it was a "depressing coda to an otherwise inspiring story", but that the fact that the slogan had reached meme status from which others were profiting had likely changed the situation.[11]
