    I think, in this subject purely Russian memes aren't interesting. Which are focused on objects of the Russian mass culture, unknown in the West. I will try to remember the Russian memes focused on the western culture (well-known in Russia :))

    The last popular such meme is connected with image of Vincent Vega (John Travolta) from cinema "Pulp Fiction" (1994). When he shows misunderstanding of the events. In Russia this image became very popular meme.

    For example, such case. The painter Pavlensky has organized a performance and has set fire to doors of the central management of FSB (ex-KGB :) ). Mem-AniGIF about it:

    I will continue Vincent Vega's subject. I think, this meme shouldn't be explained as here a combination of the western movies :)

    Memes are the creation of social media users in the US making fun of life as we see it. We find memes on social media. We share them there. We tag friends when we post them.
    We don't Google memes because we are inundated with them every day via social media.
    Posters here have absolutely no clue how stupid they sound to Americans when they try to discuss certain aspects of our culture.

    That is the nerdiest thing I've ever heard.

    Who even cares? No one cares where the meme came from. Just what it said.

    Haha! For them to be memes you gotta put captions on them though.

    Unfortunately, memes in Russian will be unclear here :) Though, maybe, I will also translate something.

    ...

    But in Russia it is considered to be that:

    That's ok, share 'em it'll be fun :D...

    Yeah, that what memes are over here too. For the images, they put jokes and quips on them for reference.

    That last image you have I could see a caption like, "See Jon, nothing to worry about" LOL. I remember that scene, Jon got saved by the skin of his teeth.

    Since they are cultural humor, the origin matters.
    I bet it sucks to wanna be us so bad.
