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. AT social networks insulting photo-toads 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 beaten 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 Ukrainian Foreign Ministry protested: Kyiv diplomats said that Medvedev's stay on the territory of Crimea was "an open disregard on the part of Russian authorities the state sovereignty of Ukraine, evidence of a violation by the Russian Federation of the UN Charter, the principles and norms of 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.
Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev was born on September 14, 1965 in Leningrad, USSR. Russian State and political figure, the third President of the Russian Federation (elected March 2, 2008), Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation. PhD in Law. Fan of the football club "Zenith", favorite group "Deep Purple", is fond of photography.

Recently Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev did not please the public with bright public speaking. The head of the Russian government ended the protracted pause on this issue brilliantly, at one point turning out to be the most discussed figure in that part of the Internet that covers the post-Soviet space.
“There is just no money. All the best to you, good mood and health!”
Having visited the Crimea, Medvedev talked to people who complained to him about the rise in prices, which leads to a sharp decrease in the purchasing power of citizens.
A Crimean pensioner complained to the prime minister: “It is impossible to live on a pension, the prices are crazy. Incorrect indexation is calculated for us. Medvedev said in response: "There is no indexation at all anywhere: there is simply no money." Then, apparently wanting to cheer up the Crimean woman, the prime minister said: “Stay here, wish you all the best, good mood and health.”
The phrase “There is no money, you are in a good mood”, which literally blew up the Internet space and caused particular joy among the Ukrainian media, will undoubtedly be among the top three statements of Dmitry Medvedev throughout his entire political career.
The Russian prime minister and ex-president at one time repeatedly made loud and ambiguous statements that made the public think about what exactly the politician had in mind and what secret meaning his words?
"What I say is cast in granite"
Perhaps the most famous saying of Dmitry Medvedev was his words at a meeting of the commission on economic modernization in December 2009.
After the speech Head of Russian Technologies Sergey Chemezov, who talked, in particular, about the introduction energy saving lamps, Medvedev remarked: “But this is not innovation, colleagues. It’s just the production of modern products that we need.”
Chemezov asked for the floor in order to answer the "remark of the president." Medvedev's words caused noticeable irritation, and he uttered a phrase that has become legendary: “My remark is not mine, but a sentence. You have replies. And what I say is cast in granite.“The WTO is not a carrot”
In September 2008, at a meeting with representatives Russian business Medvedev spoke of two decades of negotiations on Russia's accession to the WTO. In order to characterize the current situation, the politician found a rather unusual figurative comparison: “The WTO is not a carrot, it is a set of rather complex duties that are entrusted to us, and if we assume them, let them do it humanly, but do not frighten us with the fact that we ourselves will take on something additional. Over the past eight years, no one has been able to challenge the thesis that the WTO is not a carrot.
“We need to stop terrifying business”
The year 2008 for Dmitry Medvedev turned out to be especially rich in bright performances. In August, at a meeting on the development of small and medium-sized businesses in the city of Gagarin, he shared his vision of the situation: “The problems remain the same, I mean the problems that our entrepreneurs face. Tortured checks and all sorts of raids on commercial tips. It is necessary that the authorities law enforcement ceased to nightmare business.
The phrase "Stop terrifying business!" over time, it became almost the motto of Russian entrepreneurs. But even eight years later, judging by their complaints, business is getting worse and worse.
Speaking at a meeting with the leadership of the United Russia party, Medvedev said that the situation needs to be changed, and even pointed out who to start with: “The figure of the athlete himself should be put forward at the forefront - not the federations, which we sometimes have big and fat, like cats, not, especially, the heads of federations and not even coaches, with all the colossal respect for them: athletes achieve success.
It is worth noting that the leader Russian sport in 2010 Vitaly Mutko still holds his post, and the latest doping scandals have not changed this situation in any way.
For four years, Russians remembered him not only as an active supporter of modernization, a fighter against corruption and an advanced Internet user, but also as the author of a number of aphorisms. RIA Novosti chose ten of Medvedev's most striking statements, which in many ways became symbols of his presidency.
1. Freedom is better than lack of freedom
One of the most cited was the one he made in February 2008 at the Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum, making a big campaign speech as a presidential candidate.
"Our policy should be based on the principle that I consider, despite all its obviousness, the most important for the activities of any modern state striving to achieve high standards of living. This is the principle "Freedom is better than lack of freedom," Medvedev said.
Four years later, in April 2012, at the final meeting of the State Council, the President confirmed that he still considers this principle to be his credo.
“Several years ago, I expressed a simple and seemingly obvious idea for everyone: freedom is better than lack of freedom ... Many people perceive these words as my political creed, that is, they are generally perceived correctly. And I followed it as best I could” , - he said.
2. Stop bad business!
Medvedev's debut in the "production" of aphorisms as president was an emotional statement in August 2008 in the city of Gagarin Smolensk region at a meeting on the development of small and medium-sized businesses.
Opening the meeting, the head of state noted that in this area, despite all efforts, nothing is changing for the better.
"The problems remain the same, I mean the problems that our entrepreneurs face. We've been tortured by checks and all sorts of raids on commercial tips," Medvedev stated. It is necessary that the authorities, law enforcement agencies, the president demanded.
3. Don't whine!
Standing up for small and medium-sized businesses, Medvedev at the same time was skeptical about complaints from large entrepreneurs. At a meeting in Magadan in September 2008, he criticized business representatives who attended a meeting on the development of the region. This was especially true for representatives of the gold mining sector.
“I understand that it is not easy for business to work, that our bureaucracy is still difficult, but,” Medvedev said, addressing to CEO of Polyus Gold to Evgeny Ivanov.
"This is not a rise in animal husbandry in the non-chernozem zone. You know what is happening on the world gold market. If gold mining is a marginal economy for you, then refuse this work. We will find others. If you want, let's take away the license," the head said. states.
4. Bastards without brains and without conscience
Medvedev often got it from unscrupulous entrepreneurs, to whom he even offered to "cut off their hands." And after in December 2009, which claimed the lives of more than 150 people, the president spoke harshly not only to the owners of the establishment who allowed the tragedy, but also to the inspectors who checked it.
"In our country, as a result of sloppiness, I would even say - gouging, which has already turned into a national threat, is happening great amount emergencies - both on the roads and in fires, people die ... The last case that occurred in Perm is, "Medvedev said at a meeting with Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika.
Medvedev called the organizers of the evening "irresponsible scoundrels" who "have neither brains nor conscience" and demanded that they be punished "in full."
5. The government should not be shaken like a pear.
On the contrary, the activities of the government led by Vladimir Putin, on the whole, aroused Medvedev's approval. He has repeatedly stated that he sees no point in constant personnel changes in the Cabinet of Ministers.
Once, while talking with scientists, the president, in response to their criticism of the state of science in the country, offered with a smile to dismiss the Minister of Education, Andrei Fursenko. However, things did not go further than a joke, and the head of the department worked out the entire period provided for by the constitution. In September 2011, Medvedev explained why during the years of his presidency not a single minister left his post for unsuitability.
“The government cannot be shaken like a pear. I often get messages like this from people: “Replace this minister immediately! How not ashamed? We had an accident, but it is still working! "But we must understand that not all accidents depend on the ministers, we really have a very difficult situation both in industry and in the economy," the president said.
6. President with an iPod
Massive Modernization Program Russian economy initiated by Medvedev required, in his opinion, the participation of all citizens of the country, and not just its leadership. He made one such statement in September 2010 at the World Political Forum in Yaroslavl.
"I would like the people to be modernizers, not just political parties or some elite," said Medvedev, who is known for his interest in modern gadgets.

7. WTO is not a carrot
The protracted negotiations on which Russia has been conducting for 18 years have irritated Medvedev more than once. At a meeting with representatives of Russian business in September 2008, the president compared membership in this organization to a carrot - a bait, which in agriculture encourage pets to work.
"This is a set of rather complex responsibilities that are entrusted to us, and if we take them on ourselves, let them do it humanly, and don't scare us that we ourselves will take on something additional," the president said. .
Medvedev liked the comparison of the WTO with a carrot so much that he later used it several times when discussing the problem of Russia's entry into this organization.
8. Fat cats...
A fan of rowing, alpine skiing and badminton, Medvedev, in his post, did not disregard the problems of developing sports in the country, which became apparent after the unsuccessful Winter Olympics in Vancouver in 2010 for Russia.
At a meeting with the leadership of the United Russia party in March of that year, the head of state pointed out the need to change the system for training athletes.
"The figure of the athlete himself should be put forward at the forefront - not the federations, which we sometimes have big and fat like cats, not to mention the leaders of the federations and not even the coaches, with all the tremendous respect for them: athletes achieve success - they should be the epicenter attention," Medvedev said.
A few days later, at a meeting of the Sports Council, the president demanded an end to the competition between the Ministry of Sports, the National Olympic Committee and sports federations and threatened to draw personnel withdrawals otherwise.
“If I find out that the bosses, including the new bosses who will appear in different places, have started to “wet” each other again, I will have to retake the deck again,” he said.
9. ...and kote
In March 2012, one of the most discussed topics on the Russian Internet suddenly became the story of Medvedev's pet, Dorotheus the cat, who allegedly disappeared. The story, which gave rise to numerous caricatures, anecdotes and "photo-toads", turned out to be a newspaper "duck" as a result. However, the president himself considered it necessary to comment on the situation online, using Internet jargon.
"About the kote. From sources close to #Dorofei, it became known that he did not disappear anywhere. Thank you all for your concern!" - in his
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in the course of communication with the participants of the forum "Territory of Meanings" on Klyazma, he advised teachers complaining about low salaries to earn money in business. “I am often asked about teachers and lecturers. This is a calling, and if you want to earn money, there are a lot of great places where you can do it faster and better. The same business,” Mr. Medvedev said.
The Prime Minister's statement was a response to a question from a teacher from Dagestan about why in Russia the salaries of the security forces are so much higher than the salaries of teachers.
Medvedev said in response that when he worked as a teacher after graduating from university, he received 90 rubles a month, while novice policemen received 250 rubles each.
The Prime Minister's speech provoked a lively reaction in social networks - among the statements on this subject there were many critical remarks.
“Dmitry Anatolyevich confuses insipid with sweet. The teacher should not make ends meet, as he said in his speech. The teacher should not look for a way to earn money on the side. The teacher should work normally, comfortably. You can spit on our profession, as, in fact, has been done for many years, but history shows that national security and teaching are very strongly interconnected, even more than with the security forces, ”said Teacher of the Year in an interview with the radio station“ Moscow Speaks ” -2009", teacher of physics at Noginsk school No. 5 Vadim Muranov.
“Separately interesting - in what miracle country did policemen receive 250 rubles each? I stood at the machine, overfulfilled the plan, and it didn’t always work out 250, and not for everyone. By the way, then I served in the police in another country. In 1992, my salary was 26 (twenty-six) US dollars, and in 1998 as much as 180 US dollars,” a well-known publicist and journalist wrote on his Facebook page. translator Dmitry "Goblin" Puchkov, a former officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
About "good mood and health"
Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev owns a large number of phrases that people remembered and became almost aphorisms.
In May 2016, during a visit by the Russian Prime Minister to Crimea, Medvedev was approached by a pensioner who complained about low level pensions.
Answering the woman, the prime minister, in particular, said: “There is simply no money now. If we find money, we will index it. You stay here, all the best, good mood and health to you.
This saying immediately became part of folklore and has been walking around the country to this day.
Commenting on this speech, Russian President Vladimir Putin said: “I did not see Dmitry Anatolyevich say something like that about this. You can always either take a phrase from the context as such, or take it from that general conversation: everything can also coincide in words, but in spirit, the meaning, perhaps, can somehow be presented differently.
The head of state is absolutely right - it's just not about the most successfully constructed phrase. However, it is not in vain that the proverb says: “The word is not a sparrow, it will fly out - you won’t catch it!”.
About the "young country of Russia"
On December 31, 2010, speaking with a New Year's address to the people as president, Dmitry Medvedev said: “We have a rich and ancient history and we are justifiably proud of it. At the same time, Russia is a young country. Let me remind you that next year she will be only twenty years old.
As in the case of Medvedev's recent speech in Crimea, the politician meant nothing bad. However, the wording “Russia is a young country, it is only 20 years old” surprised many. It turned out that the Russian Federation does not identify itself not only with the Soviet period, but also moves away from the thousand-year history of Russian statehood as a whole. Meanwhile, the Russian Federation, for example, is officially the legal successor of the USSR under international agreements.
Medvedev's words about "a young country that is only 20 years old" were also included in the "golden fund" of his statements.
About the words "cast in granite"
In December 2009, at a meeting of the commission for the modernization of the economy Head of Russian Technologies Sergey Chemezov after the speech of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, he asked for the floor in order to answer, as he put it, the "remark" of the head of state.
Medvedev did not like Chemezov's remark, and he snapped: “My retort is not mine, but a verdict. You have replies. And what I say is cast in granite.
According to reference books, granite is an acidic igneous intrusive rock composed of quartz, plagioclase, potassium feldspar, and micas - biotite and/or muscovite. Granites are the most important rocks in the earth's crust. They are widespread and form the basis of most of all continents.
Granite is used as a facing stone, as the main material for the manufacture of monuments, but the casting of anything from it is rather problematic.
Of course, once again we are talking about an inaccurate wording.
About "big and fat cats" in sports
In 2010, after the unsuccessful 2010 Olympics for Russia in Vancouver, Dmitry Medvedev said words that are extremely relevant given the current situation in Russian sports.
At a meeting with the leadership of United Russia, Medvedev said: “The figure of the athlete himself should be put at the forefront - not the federations, which we sometimes have big and fat like cats, let alone the heads of federations and not even coaches, with all the colossal respect: athletes achieve success - they should be the epicenter of attention.
Unfortunately, these words were not heard and understood. "Big and fat cats" from sports officials have put Russia on the brink of removal from the 2016 Olympics. It is possible that at least now the "fat cats" will be thoroughly shaken - albeit with an obvious delay.
