You dont zero with that setting. You zero the 100m setting at 100meters/yards. The п setting is a battle zero which is roughly a 18-250m zero that will put the bullet POI +/- 7" of your POA.
If you wanna zero the soviet way, then this manual here supposedly has the directions: https://archive.org/details/the-official-soviet-akm-manual-paladin-press

You're not supposed to use that to zero. Think of it as a quick and dirty battle sight.
If I remember correctly it is supposed to be equivalent to 300 yards. Basically if you're zeroed use that sight mark and aim at the "belt buckle." this will ensure you hit a target anywhere between the belt buckle and head from 0-300 yards.

The near BZO for a 16" AK is ~18 yards. I would set it to the "2" and zero at 25. Then verify at 100m on the "1"

Still using belt buckle hold?

For the near zero? No I mean the round crosses line of sight at that distance

To zero at П you need to read «устав». If you don’t know what it is - don’t bother ;)

For a 16" (415mm) barrel AK with 7.62x39, the П is a point blank setting. If you set the sight to this value and aim at the lower edge of a 50cm high torso target, you will get a guaranteed hit out to about 360m. For 7.62 it's close to setting 3. For 5.45 the point blank range is about 440m and is close to setting 4.

Zero the 1 at 100m and never think about it again.
