'''Angry Birds Fight! Crimea Edition''' was an unauthorized mod of Rovio Entertainment’s discontinued 2015 puzzle game [[wikipedia:Angry Birds Fight!|Angry Birds Fight]], a [[wikipedia:Candy Crush|Candy Crush]]-inspired match-3 title. The mod, created amid tensions following Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea, altered the original game to include politically and religiously charged content. Upon launch, players encountered a brief graphic image before accessing a menu offering the "Russian Federation" mode. This mode replaced game assets with explicit imagery: Russian soldiers depicted with dismembered limbs, [[Jeff the Killer]], [[wikipedia:World War II|World War II]]-themed backgrounds, and redesigned characters such as Terrence (reimagined as [[wikipedia:Jesus|Jesus]] in a context perceived as blasphemous by Christian groups). Red also appeared as a decapitated soldier. | '''Angry Birds Fight!

The mod’s behavior varied based on the device’s regional settings. Players in Russia faced a malware attack: losing a match triggered a factory reset, preceded by a screen displaying a pale man, a message about "consequences of being Russian," and the Crimean flag captioned "Ours!" However, setting the region to Ukraine unlocked unlimited in-game currency and restored unmodified gameplay. This duality positioned the mod as both a propaganda tool and a functional game, depending on the user’s location.<ref>newqualitipedia.telepedia.net/wiki/Angry_Birds_Fight!_(Crimea_mod)</ref><ref>youtube.com/watch?v=6X0zapdnorY</ref> | The mod’s behavior varied based on the device’s regional settings.
