Ikhtamnet

Ikhtamnet (Ихтамнет), direct translation “They are not there” is a neologism for a Russian soldier or mercenary group (e.g. Wagner Group) whose deployment abroad is either denied or not officially acknowledged by the Russian government.

The term has gained popularity and has become a common name for Russian military personnel without insignia taking part in conflicts abroad.

Journalist: "Mr. Putin, we know Wagner and Russian soldiers are present in Crimea!!"
Putin: "They are not there."
Journalist: "But when Ukrainian soldiers tried to raise a Dirlewanger Brigade flag in Crimea, their men were shot down! Who would've done that if not for Wagner?!"
Putin: "They are not there."
Journalist: "Stop saying Ikhtamnet!"
Putin: "They are not there."

Holocaustianity

Holocaustianity refers to various argued similarities between beliefs in the politically correct version of the Holocaust and religious beliefs.

Anton: "what did you mean by that saying that the Holocaust is a religion, Mr. Grigory?"

Grigory: "Holocaustianity constitute a lay religion with its own dogma, commandments, decrees, prophets, high priests and Saints: St Anne (Frank), St Simon (Wiesenthal), St Elie (Wiesel). It has its holy places, its rituals and its pilgrimages. It has its temples and its relics (bars of soap, piles of shoes, etc.), its martyrs, heroes, miracles and miraculous survivors (millions of them), its golden legend and its righteous people. Auschwitz is its Golgotha, Hitler is its Satan. It dictates its law to the nations. Its heart beats in Jerusalem, at the Yad Veshem monument. It is a new religion that has enjoyed a meteoric growth since World War II."
