We're on the internet, bro. You have a search engine right fucking there. I didn't know what vatnik meant either until I googled it 20 seconds ago. What is your excuse?

I googled and found it was a kind of jacket used in the Red Army.

British people call nerds “anoraks” because of a type of sweater they stereotypically wear. (It comes up a lot in Doctor Who fandom.) I thought “vatnik” was maybe a creative way of calling me a Communist nerd, modelled on anorak.
