Voting on amendments to the Constitution has ended in Russia. According to the results, only 21.27% voted against, 77.92% voted for. And all this with a turnout of about 65%. Meduza also sums up the results, but not in numbers, but in memes and jokes from Twitter.
Let's start with the fact that after the closing of the polling stations in the yards it even became somehow lonely.
In general, everything is now somehow sad. The Russians were sad after the announcement of the results and the “zeroing” of Putin.
For some reason, many people remembered the cartoon "Shrek forevermore". 🤔🤔🤔
And also the 1993 Constitution was recorded in the club 27 .
However, according to the press secretary of the President Dmitry Peskov, one should not worry about the voting results. On the contrary, it is a triumph! “De facto, a triumphant referendum on confidence in President Putin took place,” Peskov said in an interview with reporters.
Perhaps Peskov even downplays the scale of the triumph.
Although some are ready to argue with the press secretary. There is, for example, such an observation.
Dissatisfied with the voting results? The satirical publication "Panorama" has a compromise solution.
Stand-up comedian Garik Hovhannisyan has a counter proposal - to separate the most protest social networks. But this will certainly require another referendum.
It turned out that Shiba Inu memes are convenient to explain the political situation in the country. For example, here is a meme about the confrontation between Alexei Navalny and Maxim Katz, who argued for a long time about whether those who are against “zeroing” should go to the vote.
And here, in fact, is the meme about the “triumphant referendum” that Peskov mentioned.
It turned out that nothing had (really) ended yet. They say that Vladimir Putin will thank the Russians for voting on the amendments.
And finally, two videos that Meduza has already written about. The first is a monologue by actor Anton Lapenko in the style of Mikhail Zhvanetsky.
The second is the song of the KVN team "Fyodor Dvinyatin", recorded back in 2009. About totalitarianism, heat, July - and a system that "you need to endure a little." In 2020, this song is even more relevant.
