## Biographical information

### Date of birth

Unknown (14 years old (last known record says this))

## Physical description

### Gender

Male

**Zheka** (cyrillic: Жека) is a teenage boy from the Eastern European area. He can be found on Scratch, Discord, and YouTube. He is the leader of the Community of Zheka’s Zone on Scratch, which claims to provide peace to all Russian Scratchers in the Post‐ Russian Scratch Community Era. Operations of CZZS are described as stopping toxic Scratchers by having negotiations with them to convince them to stop or by mass reporting them if necessary.

Zheka lives in the Donetsk oblast in Ukraine, which Russia is attempting to take through warfare. Zheka is on the side of Russia in this war, which claims it will make Donetsk its own independent territory.

His first ever Scratch page, zekastoporom, is now deleted at his own request. He constantly creates new accounts as old ones get banned. His most recent account is often hard to find, and it doesn’t help that the official wiki doesn’t list his accounts anymore.

## Controversies

Zheka has had controversies and arguments with many Scratchers since he first joined Scratch in 2019. He has gotten into several wars, though recently he claims to be avoiding wars.

### Calling many people cringe

On Scratch, he remixed a Ukraine support project, to add insults, calling it “cringe” and showing his animated persona welding a gun pointed at the camera, which, by itself, is banned by the Scratch Team’s guidelines. In a Discord server, he has a channel dedicated to “cringe” videos, which is mostly filled with Gacha videos. A video supporting LGBTQ+ was uploaded which Zheka or one of his followers insulted. However, there was a foolish mistake made — no picture was taken of this message, and the true contents of the video are forgotten.

### Behaviour inappropriate for Scratch

Zheka and many others in the Russian Scratch Community have put censored words on Scratch. In some Discord servers, many of them constantly joke about inappropriate content (…also see WALL). Anyone who’s been paying attention for the past decade knows this behaviour is definitely not allowed on Scratch. As such, the Scratch Team bans Zheka’s accounts whenever they see him. But there is more to this behaviour. Zheka also makes many projects depicting military activities, and equates the CZZS to a Scratch army. He depicts himself as a leader of a society that has absolute power and control over everyone else in Russian Scratch. Scratch does not want their platform to have these foreboding, intimidating messages that would scare kids into submission. Zheka also has Donetsk flags on several of his accounts, in profile pictures, projects, and studio thumbnails. This makes it impossible to claim he is neutral in the war between Russia and Ukraine.

### Hypocrisy

Despite all this, Zheka and other Russians are seemingly convinced that the non‐military, peace‐loving Scratchers are in the wrong for sharing colourful flags. They claim that Ukraine is oppressing Donetsk and Luhansk, but Ukraine and Russia have a long history that shows this cannot be true. Really, Russia is the aggressor, attacking Ukraine for no other reason than to steal some unnecessary land, in an attempt to relive a bygone era of history, not caring about the hundreds of thousands of buildings destroyed, lives ruined, and innocent people killed. People who don’t accept this kind of behaviour are labelled “xenophobic” and “Russophobic”, but this does not work as an insult, as “phobic” means “fear”, and it would be crazy to not fear the destruction Russia brings. It can’t be called “xenophobia” either, as anyone who spends a tiny bit of attention to what these words mean can figure out that “xeno” means “new”, but the fear of losing your home, your family, or your life is not new by any means. It is a primal instinct, existing since the beginning of consciousness. Referring to it as nothing more than “the irrational fear or hatred of a new change” is undoubtedly either heavily misguided, or in full support of continuing Russia’s oppression and suffering.

## Why is he on this wiki?

In 2019‐2020, Vex used to be friends with Zheka. Most of the controversy mentioned above hadn’t happened yet, so Vex didn’t know Zheka would do this. After 2020, Vex became inactive in the RSC for a while. In 2022, Vex discovered all this controversy and left the CZZS out of panic, even though Vex should've stayed there to investigate further and collect evidence. However, worrying about it now is unnecessary, as now there is sufficient evidence.
