"etymology_text": "Borrowed from Russian ва́тник (vátnik, literally “quilted jacket”). The sense of \"unintelligent Russian patriot\" was derived from the jackets worn by Soviet citizens and an online cartoon about a sentient jacket known by the same name.\nThe term was popularized in Russia in 2011 and re-popularized at large in 2022 during the Russian invasion of Ukraine to refer to supporters of the invasion, especially online users, even if they are not from Russia. Reflecting usage in Ukrainian and Russian, the term was later extended to refer to Russian soldiers who were involved in war against Ukraine.",
