The best statements of Medvedev. All the best, good mood and health

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 left

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 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.

Many banks refuse to issue loans to borrowers - the risk of default is too high. Some do not try to get a loan themselves, because in order to confirm their solvency, they must provide information about employment and a permanent salary. Microfinance institutions offer a way out - when issuing an express loan, they only ask for a passport. The rate can reach 750 percent per year.

Time to pick up the knitting needles

Pensioners in Moscow live much better than in the periphery, but even here it has become very difficult to live on a pension. After paying utility bills, about 8 thousand rubles (about 93 euros) remain on hand. With this money you need to buy food and medicine for a whole month. Elderly women are increasingly trying to make money with their needlework: they knit socks, shawls, scarves and sell them near the metro.

If you want to read a glossy magazine, but don't have the money for it, you can buy a three-four-month-old magazine at a discount.

Not from the shelf, but from under the floor

Some entrepreneurs justify their name in a crisis with a special entrepreneurial spirit. As you know, one of the items of expenditure at grocery stores is a license for the right to sell alcohol. You can save money by abandoning it and removing all goods from the shelves. And for regular customers to bring goods from the warehouse in an opaque bag. The price is arbitrary. There is a risk, but who does not risk does not sell champagne.

"Networkers" win

Buying activity during the crisis decreased in Russia by about 10 percent. They began to buy less, trying to choose cheaper goods. Nevertheless, many, having received a salary or pension, try to immediately spend it by buying food and household chemicals for the future: they do not become cheaper, but income depreciates due to inflation. Preference is given to chain supermarkets where promotions are held.

Intermediaries do not worry!

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. The same applies to work - not every employer or job seeker wants to pay for the services of recruitment agencies. An ad in a newspaper carries risks, but it is still possible to find useful information.

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.

frank confession made Prime Minister during a visit to Crimea. Somewhere, a pensioner managed to get through to Dmitry Medvedev - a heart-rending cry is heard on a video that has scattered on the network: “It’s impossible to live, the prices are crazy, they expect us to index incorrectly! , where is she?!"

The prime minister, it must be said, did not flinch. Indexing, he did not play up, really is nowhere, because the government did not do it. "There's just no money now. We'll find the money - we'll index it. You stay here, all the best, good mood and health to you," Dmitry Medvedev said cheerfully, putting his hand in his pocket, and on this optimistic note, he hastened to end his communication with the people.

The self-control of the head of government can be envied. Not every politician is able to respond to the cries of the soul of voters with the directness and frankness of Ostap Bender. What money, granny, there is no money. I kiss your hands, happy to stay. On the positive, the old one, you have to be on the positive.

Claims against Dmitry Medvedev there can be none. He just honestly warned that the whole country would have to pay for the annexation of Crimea and. "It was a conscious choice, a choice at the request of the people who asked for help," he said. At the very beginning, however, the ministers and the president rashly declared that no one would suffer, but it quickly became clear to everyone that this would not work out.

Truly knows no limits human ingratitude for salvation from the Nazis. Let grandma say thank you in general that times are now vegetarian. Otherwise, they would have caulked her where they should for such words (does she want to say that she is dissatisfied with the release?). For the sake of Crimea, all Russians' pension savings have been frozen for several years, but it's not enough for her.

But the point here is not so much in the Crimea. And Dmitry Medvedev himself notes after all that there is no indexation throughout the country. It is important that the prime minister finally briefly summarized the economic situation in the country, summed up all the anti-crisis meetings over the past 2 years. At meetings in the White House, other phrases are heard, more ornate and impressive, about stimulating the economy, adapting to the sanctions regime, and indispensably fulfilling all social obligations. How many scenarios for the development of events have been written! Soon, the ex-minister of finance will also present two more scenarios to the president, to choose from: either distribute money from the budget to support industries, or not distribute it. Dmitry Medvedev did not tell the pensioner about any scenario, any state program or anti-crisis plan.

We have many scenarios and decrees. We have no money, as it turns out. There would be money, and scenarios would probably not have to be written.

What can the head of government do? Is he printing this money or something, or can he launch some kind of reforms? He is, after all, already. And back in 2013, . We will find money - there will be indexation. The Prime Minister speaks as if he just had the money in another jacket.

It remains to hold on. Gotta hold on pensioners, workers at Uralvagonzavod, which is under the threat of bankruptcy, entrepreneurs who are being squeezed out of business and intimidated by raising taxes, state employees who are offered to freeze salaries, metallurgists and truckers, importers and exporters. The slogan "Hold on!" - it's like "Save yourself who can." That is, taxi as you know, until the scripts arrive in time.

Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev - the third president of the Russian Federation from 2008 to 2012. Now he is the chairman of the government of the Russian Federation. Dmitry Anatolyevich is known for his non-standard sense of humor, and often Medvedev goes to the people. Each speech of the Prime Minister is accompanied by heated discussions in connection with his sometimes ridiculous, sometimes controversial, sometimes funny phrases.

"No money, but you hold on"

Perhaps the most famous was Medvedev's quote "There is no money, you stay here, all the best to you, good mood and health!" issued a phrase that became an all-Russian Internet meme and firmly entered the lexicon of citizens.Later, appreciating the popularity of his careless words, Dmitry Anatolyevich hastened to correct himself: "There is money!", But only the initial version was widely remembered.

"What I say is cast in granite"

This quote by Medvedev also did not go unnoticed. The situation in which it was used occurred during a speech by the head of Russian Technologies, Sergei Chemezov, when Medvedev noted that these were not innovative technologies, but simply the production of necessary modern products. Chemezov asked for the floor to answer "the President's remark." Medvedev did not like this attitude towards his words, and he remarked: "I do not have a replica, but a sentence," and then emphasized the power of his words, specifying about granite. Journalists picked up this phrase and replicated it in the media.

"WTO is not a carrot"

Such a non-standard comparison, which obviously no one will argue with, was used by Medvedev during a meeting with representatives of the Russian business community. The politician commented on the protracted entry into the WTO, and speaking about the fact that the World Trade Organization is a rather complex system, which is not so easy to get into, he compared the WTO with carrots.

This quote by Medvedev has become a kind of modern phraseological unit and is used in a situation where you need to say something obvious, obvious and without additional explanations.

"It is necessary to stop nightmare business"

We can say that this quote by Medvedev today has become the unspoken motto of all Russian entrepreneurs. It was used during the discussion of the business sphere in Russia. Medvedev noted that the authorities should promote the development of small and large businesses in Russia, and not "nightmare" them.

"Federations are big and fat like cats"

In 2010, Dmitry Medvedev became the author of another unforgettable comparison. It was devoted to the issue of Olympic medals for the Russian team after the failure at the Olympics in Vancouver. The Prime Minister noted that the figure of the athlete himself should be put at the forefront, and not the federations - "big and fat, like cats." At the same time, Medvedev noted that now in Russia the heads of federations or coaches often come first.

"You can stir up anything"

In 2013, another quote from Dmitry Medvedev appeared. The prime minister has publicly spoken out against President Putin's initiative to bring back the old procedure for initiating criminal cases of a tax nature without information from the tax authorities. Medvedev said that there are often situations in which opposing structures torment each other with criminal cases, in such cases "anything you want can be incited." With this phrase, the politician once again aroused media interest in his person.

"Always be fit and smile - this is my philosophy of life"

The simple truths of his life were once revealed by Dmitry Anatolyevich in communication with journalists. For this approach, many condemned him: they considered that such a high-ranking official should have more serious points in his philosophy of life. Medvedev was repeatedly accused of frivolity: for funny dances, for an out of place smile, and for an inept desire to be tough.

"I didn't get sick"

In 2017, the epidemiological situation in the country left much to be desired. The influenza epidemic has decimated thousands of citizens across the country. Commenting on this period, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin said that Dmitry Anatolyevich "was not saved" from the disease either. Medvedev's long silence was interrupted by the phrase "But I wasn't sick," which became another meme, which made the whole situation incredibly comical.

"Barak, rest"

In 2010, as President of the Russian Federation, Medvedev decided to comment on his conversation with US President Barack Obama, who was on vacation. "Barak, rest! You did a good job," Medvedev said.

"Bastards without brains and conscience"

So Dmitry Anatolyevich called entrepreneurs who approach the performance of their official duties in bad faith. This Medvedev quote was leaked to the media after the infamous fire at the Lame Horse nightclub.

Quote about Medvedev: "He is not Dimon for you"

In addition to the phrases of Dmitry Anatolyevich himself, a quote about him took root among the people. "He's not Dimon to you" is the title of an investigative documentary produced by the Anti-Corruption Foundation of opposition leader Alexei Navalny. This movie was widely advertised as sensational information revealing the secret real estate of Dmitry Medvedev and his closest acquaintances. According to Navalny, the prime minister does not disdain bribes, including from billionaire Alisher Usmanov.

Dmitry Anatolyevich is a non-standard personality for politics. His phrases become truly popular and are quoted by the media for many years. It remains to wait from this official for new speeches, and hence new reasons for smiling.

Normally Medvedev answered. Here is an excerpt from the book by V. Sinelnikov on this topic: The presence of money in your life is directly related to how you feel about yourself. How much do you value and respect yourself. I remember one situation that happened to me. I stood in line at the savings bank to pay for electricity. In front of me, two women of retirement age were scolding the current government. - Here are the bastards, - said one, - well, is it possible to live on such a pension? - That's it, - another echoed her, - the rent is more than my pension. They brought people to poverty, and the salaries themselves made ten times more. - Yes, and steal. Then one of them turns to me and asks: - Tell me, young man, is this fair? - Do you answer honestly or lie? I asked. - Of course, honestly! - Well, to be honest, it's very fair. Judging by the pause that occurred after my words, this woman was clearly not ready to hear this. Yane began to wait for a response and asked: - Now you answer my question: how much do you cost? - In what sense? she asked, a little taken aback. - Well, of course, not in the sense that I want to spend the night with you. - But in vain, - the second woman intervened in our conversation, - we are still nothing. We all laughed together. - Look, - I say, showing them the book, - this book costs five hryvnias. How much are you worth? “Ah-ah,” she said drawlingly, “well, if in that sense, then you won’t give a broken penny for me. That's why you suffer from lack of money. You need to thank the state. After all, it gives you much more, and you scold it. How do you feel about yourself, dear reader? How developed is your self-esteem? If you periodically scold yourself, feel guilty, or consider yourself worse or better than someone else, then you have problems not only with self-esteem and self-love, but also with life. This is easy to see with the help of the scheme: I am worse than someone, I am bad - "I am not worthy of life -" self-destruction program At the same time, your energy is directed to someone who considers himself good and worthy. I am good, I am beautiful - I am worthy of life - "development program Let's derive another formula for money:" The amount of money is directly proportional to the amount of self-respect. And how do we treat ourselves?! Yes, even on a national scale. and resources, both natural and human, but we do not value ourselves. And the mass media support this state. They constantly emphasize that we are a third world country, that the Russian Vanya is a fool, an alcoholic and a debauchee. Or people have not been paid for months, years, and they continue to go to work. How does is called? This is an elementary lack of self-respect, the height of self-dislike. You need to respect and love yourself. Develop self-esteem and wisdom. No inferiority complexes!

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 played 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: Kiev 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.
