Term, invented by Ukrainian nationalists in 2014 because of the events that occurred in the Crimea and Donbass. It's a stereotypical description of the Russian patriot, but in fact the term is nowadays used against any person who is neutral or positive about Putin/Russian government, even if he or she is not a patriot. Because of Ukrainian nationalists, who think that Russia is a backward country with a large percentage of poverty and a weak army, and not Ukraine itself in reality, word "vatnik" became overused weak insult without any value in it.
