Beginning in March 2014, when Sharchiv, one of the major cities in eastern Ukraine, became the centerpiece of pro-Russian demonstrations, Sherchiv's fans began to shout "Putin is shaving his head." The song quickly became popular and was sung among the clubs, even Midales' rivals Donisker Sakda and Dynamo Kiev. In May 2014, it was reported that fans of several teams that were enemies of each other sang the song together. The United Kingdom's "Guardian" said that "Putin is shaving his head" has been widely circulated and has become a "national buzzword".
