в*йна

Russian

Noun

в*йна • (v*jna)

  1. censored spelling of война́ (vojná)

Usage notes

The censored spelling of the word война́ has become very widespread in the Russian-speaking part of the Internet after the introduction of strict military censorship in Russia with the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 and the subsequent blocking of media outlets calling the "special military operation" "war" in Russia.
