    But now I see that the Russian Government is calling themselves SMO in the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict…

    That’s not at all what’s happening. I feel like you are trolling me right now

      And what exactly I am going to gain from “trolling” you? Bloody hell, I’m trying to understand about something and I get accused of being a troll in here.

        Okay, let me try this one more time:

        Russian government is the current government of Russian Federation with Vladimir Putin as president. It does not have any specific name.

        Special Military Operation (SMO for short) - the official designation of the process of armed conflict, undertaken by the Russian Federation’s army in the territory of Ukraine.

        The SMO is not the name of the Russian Government. Not in this conflict, not elsewhere. It is specifically the name of the military operation.
