Dmitry Medvedev has no money in Crimea. “There is no money, but you hold on”: Medvedev’s Crimean voyage was disassembled into quotes. "You can stir up anything you want"

TOP 10 RUSSIAN POLITIC MEME

It is no longer possible to perceive the words of high-ranking leaders of Russia. And this is not the personal opinion of the author. Ordinary Russians, who were included in the lists of "80%", "86%", "89%", openly say and write that if earlier, behind frank nonsense, flat jokes and jokes of politicians, some insidious plan of the Kremlin towers was presented - "a cunning plan for the victory of Russia throughout the world. Now it is already more clearly noticeable - unprofessionalism and incompetence, licentiousness, disrespect for their people and just a lie.

We decided to give a few examples of high-ranking empty talk, combining them into a kind of "hit parade". These phrases have not only spread all over the Internet networks of Russia, but have also become the subject of ridicule over our country and in foreign media.

NO MONEY, BUT YOU HOLD ON!

First place, of course, for the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev. It was a response to question of the Crimeans about low songs and high prices:

“There is just no money right now. We will find money - we will make indexation. You stay here, all the best, good mood and health to you.

In general, to teach politicians not to say the word “no” to their voters is one of the first tasks of political technologists and image makers. This is a kind of basics. But apparently, the situation in the state is so horrendous, and the scale and uncontrollability of theft are so great that the head of government has neglected these rules and is no longer shy in choosing expressions.

Remember the joke about the three envelopes? The old leader hands over the affairs to the new one and gives three envelopes with parting words to open one at a time when it becomes especially difficult. The first such moment came - he opened the first envelope - the inscription: "Blow everything on me." The second moment came: "Promise." A third happened: "Prepare three envelopes." Blaming the USSR is already futile, they do not believe. There is nothing to promise, everyone sees and feels everything on the decline in their own well-being. Perhaps it is time for the authorities to remember about the third envelope.

Now to the question of money. Is it possible that in the near-Kremlin political technology headquarters there was not a single more or less qualified personnel who would explain to their customers that when Putin promises to build a Disneyland for 10 billion, one should not splurge on the people about the lack of funds. When Russia is waging a strange war in Syria worth tens of billions of rubles, you can’t explain to the people that there is no money. People will not believe in the absence of appropriations against the backdrop of billions for Skolkovo (which - quite likely - can be taken away), hundreds of billions for additional capitalization of banks and brave Russia from the economic forum in St. Petersburg.

The apogee of the mockery of the people of Russia was the statement of the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov: “This is a government issue, our government has the broadest powers. I do not think that it would be correct to comment on the decisions of the government, and even more so the head of the cabinet.”. Everything is turned upside down, the government is completely unaccountable to the head of state, the Duma! And complete lack of accountability to the people who elected him! But as usual - an explanation, the king is good, these are bad boyars ...

IT'S FUNNY BUT POPULAR

Second place in the hit parade we give to the Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Igor Shuvalov, who, during his visit to Kazan, said: “We were shown apartments of 20 sq. It is possible to create something completely incomprehensible from 60 square meters, or you can create a comfortable modern apartment.”

This is the same liberal Shuvalov, who just over a year ago at the economic forum in Davos was marked by a verbal “pearl” that in order for Vladimir Putin to remain president, people are ready to endure any hardships. But does Shuvalov himself suffer hardships? It turns out not!

According to Igor Shuvalov's declaration, he has four apartments in Russia ranging from 73.8 to 175.7 square meters. In addition, he rents a house in Austria (1480 square meters) and also rents an apartment in the UK, which is 483 square meters. However, independent experts have long been saying that the "rent" is fictitious, and Shuvalov rents a castle in Austria, an apartment in London and a villa in Dubai from himself.

British Prime Minister David Cameron spoke about the determination to put an end to money laundering through the purchase of London real estate a year ago. Speaking in Singapore, he said that the UK should not become "a safe haven for criminally obtained funds from around the world." It was a hint, including to Russian high officials.

EAT LESS

Third place. Sverdlovsk deputy from the United Russia party Ilya Gaffner advised Russians to eat less if they do not have enough money for food.

"It's not so scary. If there is not enough money, you need to remember that we are all Russians, Russian people, we have gone through both hunger and cold ... You just need to think about your own health: eat less, for example ", - advised Gaffner in a commentary to the Yekaterinburg TV channel during a raid on stores in order to check prices.

According to statistics, 17.4 percent of Russians (24 million) live below the poverty line, that is, they have an income below 5,083 rubles per person. More than a third of the population of Russia have unstable, non-standard, episodic, often not formalized work. At the same time, the cost of the minimum set of food products on average in the country is 2225.67 rubles, and sometimes you have to pay more than five thousand rubles for an apartment and utilities.

In Russia, hidden hunger is practically already observed, Russians, especially children, do not receive a large amount of essential vitamins and microelements. In 2016, the salary of State Duma deputies, according to some media reports, increased from about 400 thousand rubles to 800 thousand rubles.

TO HONEST, I DON'T KNOW MY SALARY

Fourth place. These words belong to the President RF to Vladimir Putin: “I don’t know Sechin’s salary. To be honest, I don’t know mine either - they bring it, I fold it. Employees of large companies receive solid money. But it is necessary to compare their salary not with the average salary in the country, but with the salaries of their foreign colleagues..

It must be admitted that there were legends about Igor Sechin's fabulous salary long before Putin's memorable conference. That is why the question the journalist asked the president is quite reasonable. Here is what they wrote about Sechin's earnings in 2014: “Being the head of the company, starting in 2012, this charming man appointed himself an immodest salary of $ 50 million a year, which is 5 million rubles a day. Yes, yes, you heard right, 5 million a day!” In 2014, the exchange rate of the ruble is two times lower than today!

And one more detail: in July 2013, the President of Russia ordered to disclose information about the income of certain categories of Russians. In particular, the decree established that state corporations and state companies created on the basis of federal laws are required to post information about income, expenses, property and property obligations of their leaders on their official websites, as well as provide this data to the all-Russian mass media.

CORDS WILL SEND ALL

Fifth place. Another Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin never ceases to amaze with his clowning in front of the public reading it. Over the past year, he has spoken with three boxes. The last "hit" - he supported the idea to send the leader of the Leningrad group Sergey Shnurov to the next Eurovision to Ukraine.

“We will send Shnurov to the next Eurovision. He won’t win, but he will send them all somewhere”, - Rogozin wrote on Twitter.

Sergei Shnurov responded to the idea of ​​​​Dmitry Rogozin with his causticity: “We survived. It turns out that out of 140 million citizens, even just one can send a ***.

MANNERHEIM - "PERSONALITY" IN RUSSIAN HISTORY

Sixth place behind the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, as well as the head of the administration, Sergei Ivanov, with a high-ranking retinue. Everyone talked and posed enough.

In particular, commenting on the participation of the head of the presidential administration S. Ivanov at the opening in St. Petersburg of a memorial plaque mounted on the facade of the building of the Military Academy of Logistics in honor of Hitler's ally Karl Mannerheim, D. Peskov said: “Indeed, Mannerheim’s personality is still hotly debated, but it can be said with absolute certainty that this is an outstanding personality, a personality related to our history, and a personality whose role historians will study for a long time to come.”

At such a pace, the authorities will soon proclaim Vlasov, Bandera, Shukhevych as outstanding personalities, and then “glory to the heroes!” - give a hand. Just a cast from the Ukrainian events, with which the propaganda persistently frightened the Russians.

NASTAMNET

Seventh place. Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is already doing everything to end the conflict in Ukraine, but we must not forget that the conflict is internal Ukrainian.

"Everything that Russia can do to end the conflict, it is already doing: de facto helping the economy of Ukraine, providing coal, electricity, and so on, and sending strings of humanitarian convoys to people in trouble in the southeast"- said Peskov in an interview.

A position that does not stand up to scrutiny. No one in Russia has ever thought of calling the conflicts in Transnistria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia intra-Moldovan or intra-Georgian. From the point of view of Ukraine and the international partners of the Kremlin, Donbass (its part - ORDILO) is an occupied territory. To substantiate this argument, any Western functionary will cite the example of the exchange of the Ukrainian military criminal Savchenko for Russian servicemen Erofeev and Aleksandrov. That is, Russia's participation in the conflict is evident.

Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg spoke openly about the events in Ukraine: “No, it was necessary to bring it to a coup d'etat, with victims, to cause bloody events, a civil war, to scare the Russian-speaking population in the southeast of Ukraine and in Crimea. What is all this for? And after that, after we were forced, simply forced to take measures to protect certain groups of the population, we began to further unwind this spiral, to pump it up.”

No one in the West has removed the issue of Crimea from the agenda, which is one of the sore points of the Kremlin, for which the negotiating rubber stretches, and in fact, such human sacrifices of the Russian population of Donbass are made. There is no way that Moscow will be able to solve the issue of Crimea in isolation from the rest of Novorossia. In any case, in the short term. But who does Peskov want to convince with mantras that Russia is in no way involved in the conflict? What about himself?

WE NEED AMERICA

Eighth place. No one doubted before that the United States not only actively interfered in the internal politics of the Russian Federation, but also pursued its own policy through its fifth column in power. However, speaking at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, the President of the Russian Federation actually admitted this to the entire honest public:

“America is a great power, probably the only superpower today. We accept this, we want and are ready to work with the United States... The world needs such a powerful country as the United States, and we need it. But we don’t need them to constantly interfere in our affairs, tell us how to live, prevent Europe from building relations with us.” Putin stressed.

These words in the blogosphere were called a recognition of the president's own surrender and his team, and that the Americans do not just interfere in Russian politics, but do it all the time! Our people have already observed something similar during the reign of Mikhail Gorbachev, the leader who led the country to collapse.

DID NOT REFUSE DIALOGUE WITH Kyiv

ninth place. Once again, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov struck when answering the question why Russia recognized the referendum in Crimea, but did not recognize it in the DPR and LPR during the “direct line” in Komsomolskaya Pravda.

“The referendum in Crimea was held under known conditions. But following the results of the referendum in Donbass, they did not refuse dialogue with Kyiv. The result was a package of Minsk agreements. They never refused to talk to Kyiv.” Lavrov said.

In fairness, it must be said that Moscow also did not refuse dialogue with Berlin, which resulted not in any collusion - an intermediate and impracticable protocol, but in May 1945 Germany's capitulation.

And did Crimea refuse dialogue with Kyiv? No. Simply by virtue of its transition under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation, the Kremlin continued the conversation on behalf of Crimea. That's the whole difference.

By the way, on behalf of the DPR and LPR, Moscow is also quite free to conduct a dialogue with Kyiv and Western partners, which puts Sergey Viktorovich in an awkward position, from which he seems to be not going to get out. It's not even a position, it's not a position, it's a pose. After all, how could one say that the conversation between Donbass and Kyiv eventually led to a package of Minsk agreements, if initially its points were written on the famous knee of the Russian president? Paradox!

KEEP IT UP!

Tenth place. Vice Speaker of the State Duma of Russia, the son of politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Igor Lebedev, believes that there is nothing criminal in the fight between Russian fans and English fans at Euro 2016 in France, he said about this

Bloggers recommend using universal phrases from the dialogue between the prime minister and pensioners to answer collectors and the tax

This morning, a powerful information attack on the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation began on social networks. The viral video recording of his meeting with the Crimeans became an occasion for jokes and offensive photoshops. BUSINESS Online experts believe that Medvedev clearly failed United Russia at a spontaneous meeting with the population.

CRIMEAN VOYAGE: “NO MONEY. YOU STAY THERE…”

A real scandal in social networks caused a video with the participation of the head of the Russian government Dmitry Medvedev. The day before, he paid a working visit to the Crimea, and this trip did not receive active information coverage, and his business trip was clearly lost in the tapes of news agencies. All that the federal media wrote about with reference to the Crimean colleagues was that Medvedev assessed the state of the museums of the peninsula as “not brilliant” and at a meeting in Feodosia promised to allocate more than 3.5 billion rubles for the development of culture in Crimea.

But the Crimeans made it clear to the Prime Minister that they were interested not only in cultural issues, but also in pensions. Apparently, Medvedev accidentally met with a spontaneous crowd of local residents near the restoration and exhibition center of underwater archeology, where the meeting was held. The conversation was raised, but the prime minister tried to remain calm.

The first, at midnight, to publish a video recording of a conversation with Medvedev was an oppositionist Alexey Navalny. Currently, the video has received almost 100 thousand views.

To the question of one of the pensioners about how to live on 8 thousand rubles, the prime minister replied: "There is no money, and we must be patient."

Resident: Wrong indexing is calculated for us!

Medvedev: Not right?

Resident: Offend us! They don't even give 4 percent! What is 8 thousand?

Medvedev: We will deal with pensions throughout the country. But we can't do it in just one place.

Resident: But you said that there would be indexing.

Medvedev: She's nowhere to be found. We didn't accept at all. There's just no money right now. We will find money - we will make indexation. You stay here, all the best, good mood and health to you.

With these words, Medvedev left, accompanied by guards and local officials. A few hours later, he posted a photo of a rainbow taken on the peninsula on his Instagram and returned to Moscow.

INFORMATION ATTACK ON THE PREMIERE: “COLLECTORS COMING, AND YOU: “NO MONEY, BUT YOU HOLD ON!”

The information attack on Medvedev began early this morning. In social networks, offensive photoshopping and sharp remarks addressed to the head of the Russian government were massively replicated. " And with the phrase “There is no money, but you hold on!” you can threaten America. It doesn’t sound very threatening, but it’s not a lie either, ”one of the users suggests. "Collectors come, and you: no money, but you hold on! And in the tax: there is no money, but you hold on!”- another blogger continues this thought.

The network also created a fake government decree, allegedly signed by Medvedev: “In accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the government decides: 1) There is no money; 2) You stay here; 3) All the best, good mood, health to you, ”the text of the ironic decree reads.

Bloggers also suggest: “So soon Dmitry Medvedev will not return to Crimea. Only after retirement. Some, having adopted the phrase “There is no money, you stay there”, repost the news that they are asking for 49 billion rubles for the anniversary of AvtoVAZ and “penny”, and also remember the words Boris Berezovsky: “There was money. There will be money. Now there is no money."

With great enthusiasm, the bloggers accepted the parody: Medvedev's conversation with the Crimeans was beaten in the style of the famous hit “Come on, goodbye!”.

Today, Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Crimea Dmitry Polonsky had to answer on the air of the radio station "Moscow Speaks". He said that the size of pensions in Crimea does not differ in level from other regions of Russia. Nevertheless, Polonsky promised to check the appeal of a local resident, whose conversation with the Prime Minister became a hit on YouTube.

Medvedev's visit to Crimea had other consequences - the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine protested: Kyiv diplomats said that Medvedev's stay in Crimea was "an open disregard by the Russian authorities of the state sovereignty of Ukraine, evidence of a violation by the Russian Federation of the UN Charter, principles and norms international law".

“MEDVEDEV LOST, BUT STRATEGICALLY WILL WIN FROM THIS STORY...”

Alexey Mukhin- Russian political scientist, director general of the political information center

Of course, the premier expressed himself unsuccessfully in terms of political technologies, and now it will be necessary to bear responsibility for this. Moreover, he is the leader of a party that is included in the election campaign, and such careless expressions will be used against him by his opponents. And, as they say, in full - it's already obvious. Look at the outcry on social media.

I don't think it was a specially organized provocation. In the end, Dmitry Anatolyevich is free to say what he says. And this is not even a protocol error - the responsibility lies entirely with Medvedev! Perhaps he simply decided to complicate the election campaign for himself, in order to exit it with honor later. There is such a way - luring the enemy into an open field for an open duel, and for this the enemy needs to be provoked.

Here he, apparently, "provoked" - such a flurry of criticism addressed to him. It will not work out dry from this situation, now he will have to honestly answer uncomfortable questions.

Pavel Salin- Director of the Center for Political Studies of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation:

This definitely cannot be called a protocol error, because the protocol is not responsible for such things. Even if the audience is selected specifically for communication, there is no purely technological opportunity to probe it for possible questions. These are unstable formats, and in many ways everything happens spontaneously there. The probability that the question was spontaneous, I think, is over 50 percent.

The topic worries a significant part of pensioners in Russia, not only in Crimea. Prices have risen, and indexation of pensions is far away. It's just that after the annexation of Crimea to Russia, the incomes of the majority of residents did not increase or increased slightly. Significantly, they have grown only among the military and civil servants, but the prices for goods and products have caught up with Russian prices, although they used to be lower.

I admit the possibility of an information attack. Perhaps someone wanted to put Medvedev in an uncomfortable situation. By and large, this is an attack not only on the prime minister, for whom the electoral rating is important, but he is still the leader of United Russia, and now the election campaign is underway. However, the party's rating will not suffer from this either, because the existing publications do not emphasize Medvedev's connection with United Russia.

Medvedev found himself in a situation where he had to choose the lesser of two evils, because as head of government he could not promise a significant increase in pensions. From a factual point of view, he lost in this story, but from a strategic point of view, he will win.

The song of the Russian showman Semyon Slepakov "Appeal to the people", published on June 6, gained more than two million views on the Internet in just a day. The inspirer of the singer was the head of the government of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev. Two weeks ago, when asked by Crimean pensioners about the indexation of pensions, Medvedev replied that there was no money now, but he called on people to "hold on" and wished them "good mood and health."

"The country has not seen such a rise for many years, there is something to be proud of, only there is no money," Slepakov parodies state reports on economic success. The showman does not forget to mention how Russian officials live in a crisis: "Luxury yachts and planes are waiting for us. The Maldives, Monte Carlo, London and Phuket are waiting. We would take you, we just don't have money."

In addition to this song, thousands of other jokes about Dmitry Medvedev appeared on the Runet: posts, tweets and photo-toads. DW followed the development of the Internet trend.

Taxes? No money

Myself video of Medvedev's communication with Crimean pensioners hit the Internet on May 23 and immediately began to gain viral popularity, and two weeks later, received almost three and a half million views. Runet users immediately reacted to it with thousands of jokes.

The most popular of them are proposals to write the phrase "there is no money, but you hold on" in the tax return or utility bill. Also, this phrase was framed as official government decree. Some of the users offered to respond to banks that are waiting for payments on loans: "There is no money, but you hold on."

Army and television: there is money

Then Runet users decided to remember what the Russian budget money was used for instead of indexing pensions. Favorite examples were the army and state television.

Businessman and media investor Alexander Vinokurov recalled that the loss of the VGTRK holding in 2014 amounted to 21 billion rubles. Television, for which they spent money from the budget, will help the Russians "hold on," Vinokurov is sure.

Campaign posters

Dmitry Medvedev inspired users to joke about politics. The phrase "there is no money, but you hold on" was turned into fake campaign slogans, including on the topic of the upcoming elections to the State Duma in the fall.

They were awarded to Medvedev himself, a number of deputies and the United Russia party. Separate jokes are dedicated to President Vladimir Putin. Medvedev should learn from Putin to answer questions about the indexation of pensions. The President would have answered several times longer and in such a way that nothing was clear, they are sure in Runet.

"There is no money, but you hold on" and Shuvalov's Rolls-Royce

Thanks to the popularity on the Internet, Medvedev's meme even had to be commented on by Vladimir Putin. The President believes that the phrase " no money, but you hold on"taken out of context. In response, some users published a transcript of the meeting with pensioners and noted that Medvedev's words were conveyed quite clearly.

Almost simultaneously with the appearance of the meme, an investigation into the opposition politician Alexei Navalny was released. He claims that First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov bought a Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB car worth 40 million rubles through shell companies. This was done after the announcement of sanctions and a sharp deterioration in the state of the Russian economy and the state budget. As a result, Runet users instantly associated this event with Medvedev's call to "hold on."

  "Labor" and the passbook have long been attributes of stability for Russians. But they are becoming a thing of the past: passbooks are being replaced by plastic cards, and “labor” cards are no longer needed due to the lack of official work. During the crisis, more and more Russians are fired or leave because of unfavorable conditions themselves, joining the ranks of the so-called "informally employed." Today there are about 20 million of them in Russia.

A place of honor in newspaper collapses is occupied by publications devoted to finding housing and work. Looking for an apartment through a realtor is expensive - you have to pay him a commission for services, so the demand for rent without intermediaries has grown.

Hope only for passers-by

It cannot be said that there are noticeably more beggars on the streets of Moscow or in the metro and underground passages. Another thing is that more and more often you can see people who are embarrassed by this activity, obviously not used to it. Seeing the camera, they turn away or leave. Although, it would seem, they should not be ashamed at all.

The head of the Russian government, Dmitry Medvedev, has not recently pleased the Russians with his bright statements, but the day before he ended the protracted pause with a bright chord, being at one moment the most discussed figure in the post-Soviet segment of the Internet.

The incident occurred when the Prime Minister was with, where he managed to talk a little with local residents and listen to their complaints about rising prices, low pensions and people's purchasing power.

So, a Crimean pensioner complained to Dmitry Medvedev about a meager pension and "mad prices".

It is impossible to live on a pension, the prices are crazy. Incorrect indexing is calculated for us", -

said the woman.

There is no indexation anywhere at all: there is simply no money, - Medvedev answered her, adding -

You stay here, all the best, good mood and health to you."

The prime minister's phrase "no money, good mood" literally blew up the Internet space, giving rise to many pictures and statements on this subject. Many do not doubt that this statement by the Prime Minister will be among the top three of his best statements in his entire political career. Posts with stormy comments on the words of Dmitry Medvedev are accompanied by the hashtag #money.

Political scientists, business bloggers and publicists did not stand aside either.

Many laugh, but this is the slogan of the next five-year plan,"

noted in his Facebook political scientist Konstantin Kalachev.

From one liter of gasoline, the state takes 20 rubles. From 20 thousand salaries the employer pays 8 thousand 600 rubles in taxes and contributions... No money? Hold on?" -

businessman and blogger from Volgograd Kirill Kusmartsev expressed his indignation.

There is no money for pensions, you are in a great mood, said the leader of the party that spent 490 million rubles on the selection of candidates,"

this is how the public and political figure, publicist Nikolai Starikov reacted.

This is not the first loud statement made by Dmitry Medvedev. So, one of his most famous sayings was the words uttered by at a meeting of the commission for the modernization of the economy in December 2009.

After the speech of the head of Russian Technologies, Sergei Chemezov, who spoke, in particular, about the introduction of energy-saving lamps, Dmitry Medvedev said: "But this is not innovation, colleagues. This is just the production of modern products that we need."

Then Chemezov asked for the floor in order to respond to the remark of Medvedev, who was then president of the Russian Federation, but the words of the official caused noticeable irritation in the head of state and he uttered his now legendary phrase: “My not a remark already, but a sentence. what I say is cast in granite.

In September 2008 During a meeting with representatives of Russian business, Medvedev spoke about the 20-year-long negotiations on Russia's accession to the WTO. In order to characterize the current situation, the politician found a rather unusual figurative comparison: "The WTO is not a carrot, it is a set of rather complex duties that are entrusted to us, and if we assume them, let them do it humanly, and not They frighten us with the fact that we ourselves will take on something additional.

In the same year 2008 Dmitry Medvedev gave another winged pearl. In August, during a meeting on the development of small and medium-sized businesses in the city of Gagarin, he spoke about his vision of the situation: “The problems remain the same, I mean the problems our entrepreneurs face. It is necessary that the authorities, law enforcement agencies stop terrifying business." Since then, the phrase "Stop nightmare business!" became practically the motto of Russian entrepreneurs.

No money but you hold on- the phrase of Dmitry Medvedev, which he said at a meeting with Crimean pensioners. The meme illustrates life in Russia and is used for jokes about power.

Origin

On May 23, 2016, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev attended a meeting with pensioners in Crimea. Residents began to complain to him about small pensions, to which Medvedev replied:

The phrase was quickly replicated on the Internet and became a meme. In December 2016, she entered the TOP 10 fastest growing Google queries in the "Memes of the Year" category.

Medvedev's quote went to the people, it was used in advertising, and comedian Semyon Slepakov even wrote the song "Appeal to the People" based on it.

In the Russian voice acting of the cartoon "Sing" there is the phrase "There is no money, but you hold on", about which Vedomosti wrote that "adults laugh in the hall, and the children will understand what it is about when they grow up."

Medvedev's words were used by Tele2 to advertise their services in the slogan “Competitors, but you hang in there! Have a good mood, health. In early June, the slogan was removed without explanation.

In May 2018, the journalists of Novaya Gazeta, whose question provoked another meme from Dmitry Medvedev. Anna Buyanova lives in a village near Feodosia and sells fruits, vegetables and chickens at the market. The woman grows all this on the plot near her house. Anna said that she had 30 years of work experience, but the minimum pension was just over 8,000 rubles.

Meaning

The expression "There is no money, but you hold on" can be used as a universal illustration for life in Russia. There is no money for health care, roads, pensions and so on. The fact that the prime minister said this for many is a demonstration of the cynicism of the authorities and their indifference to the problems of the people.
