Etymology edit

From Russian автоза́к (avtozák, police van). Named due to the similar colours between the flag and the police vans' blue stripes. Compare Russian автоза́к флаг (avtozák flag).

Genitive ending -у may have been used by analogy with declension of country names (e.g. прапор Бангладешу) or collective nouns (thus meaning flag of all autozaks/police vans).

Pronunciation edit

  • IPA(key): [ˈprapɔr ɐu̯tɔˈzakʊ]

пра́пор автоза́ку (prápor avtozákum inan (genitive пра́пора автоза́ку, nominative plural прапори́ автоза́ку, genitive plural прапорі́в автоза́ку)

  1. (Russian politics, neologism, slang, derogatory) The white-blue-white flag used in protests within Russia against the country's invasion of Ukraine.
