10 Russian-Language Memes That Translate Perfectly

The Russian-language literary tradition has given us renowned authors like Leo Tolstoy, Nikolai Gogol, and Fyodor Dostoevsky. These writers have searched the human heart and critiqued human society as part of one of the world's richest and most engrossing cultural traditions, which includes not just Russia but many of the other countries where people use and speak Russian. Continuing this tradition into the modern era are Russian-language memers posting about the struggles and joys of modern life. These memes are not that different from American memes: you find plenty of cats and plenty of depression. Despite restrictions like the notorious Russian anti-meme law, content creators across Russian-speaking territories are turning out dank material on the daily. Twitter's @RussianMemesLtd collects, translates, and shares some of these posts from Russian-speaking memers everywhere.
