Nickname for the simple Russian man from the countryside mobilised in the Russian army invading Ukraine, similar to the British Tommy. This patronym, meaning son of Kuzma, was first used somewhat derogatory by active football fans (ultras) to describe passive supporters of their clubs.
А что за проблема прямо сейчас пойти на фронт и продемонстрировать «навыки»? Возраст подходящий, классический «кузьмич», здоровье тоже, вперед!
Where’s the problem with going to the front right now and demonstrating “skills”? Age appropriate, classic “Tommy”, healthy as well, go for it!
