About
You see Ivan refers to a series of images of Russian soldiers superimposed with humorous text, often in broken English. The image macros typically convey an attitude of reckless enthusiasm for war or weaponry.
Origin
The original picture was created on February 3rd, 2013, on 4chan's /vg/ (video game general) board's S.T.A.L.K.E.R. thread[4]. The image was created by superimposing a comment post on a screenshot, making fun of a graphical bug where a character holds a pistol like a rifle.
Spread
The original picture was uploaded to FunnyJunk under the title "You must aim like this" on October 31st, 2013.[1] A compilation album of images related to the meme was uploaded to Imgur on August 4th, 2014, titled "Another Russian Comp, Comrade".[2] This was followed by another compilation titled "You see Ivan…" on October 28th.[3]
