Russian memes

Ivan Ivanov · 01-30-2019, 09:15 AM

As part of my traditional Russian propaganda on this forum (Putin’s secret mission) I’ll continue to acquaint you with the peculiarities of the Russian mentality.
This time - Russian memes. These are small pictures with inscriptions, sometimes idiotic, sometimes contradictory, sometimes simply incomprehensible.
I do not know how true this is, but they say that a number of them are very popular among western readers.
Please comment if it is not.
In a compact form, many of these memes are gathered here on this tweet (already with translations from Russian) - https://twitter.com/RussianMemesLtd

and other )

Ivan, I can already see that this will be a Frequently Visited Thread, so much so that I think we should decorate for a change: carpet, velvet drapes, a few Icons, even some artwork for the walls. I think this portrait would be just perfect==>

Ivan Ivanov · 01-30-2019, 09:58 AM

Can I tell them that it was my decision?

that's actually a pretty good guess RD.
I think we should make this a contest, see who knows who that guy is. Ivan, of course, is disqualified because he might be actually related to that guy.

Poiseuille · 01-30-2019, 10:04 AM

too late, of course Ivan would recognize that guy
