If you've ever tried to root green cuttings, then you probably know that ...
Another phrase by Dmitry Medvedev was turned into an Internet meme. Recently, the Prime Minister held a meeting with the participants of the Territory of Meanings forum on the Klyazma. A teacher from Dagestan asked the head of government about why teachers in Russia receive a salary of 15 thousand rubles, and representatives of law enforcement agencies - 50 thousand or more. Dmitry Medvedev urged the audience not to compare these professions, since the work of law enforcement officers is much more dangerous than teaching. And for those who want to earn more money, the prime minister offered to do business.
“Every person in life chooses what is important to him. I am often asked about this by both teachers and instructors. This is a calling. And if you want to make money, there are tons of great places where you can do it faster and better. The same business. But you didn’t go into business, as I understand it, ”Medvedev said.
After the recording of Dmitry Medvedev's speech got on the Internet, Internet users began to post on their pages "photoshoots" with a picture of the Prime Minister and his quote about teachers. However, there were also those who sided with the head of government and agreed with his opinion.
Sanych writes: "To business in rural areas, on a decadent collective farm, and why not?"
He answers Bakhtiyar Hasanov: "And since small business is dying out in our country, businessmen can also be offered an alternative: go to work as a teacher."
Foxis outraged: “Do you even know what the teacher's salary is? Less than 25-30 thousand rubles. no one in our school earns. In addition, if you want a high salary, raise the grade, develop teaching methods. Nobody canceled this at school ”.
“All smart people in Russia went into business, and especially gifted ones went to teachers,” the user sneers. Manowar.
"Advice for teachers to go into business is especially pleasant to read in New York, where the average salary of a school teacher is $ 57 thousand per year," notes Vadim Dergachev.
“What if the police work four hours a day, three or four days a week, as teachers? Unfortunately, both teachers and doctors have long ceased to work conscientiously. And what it is to work full-time, they do not know, and there is no need to check the notebooks at home - this is nonsense ", - I'm sure Alexey Ponomarev.
In reply anonymous user recalls: "In the 90s, we heard something like that from Khakamada, she advised the miners to go after work to pick berries and mushrooms to have money."
This is not the first time that Medvedev's statements have become "winged". For example, a flurry of jokes on the Internet was caused by the recent words of the prime minister: “There is simply no money. You keep here. " There is nothing provocative in such phrases of the head of government, but sometimes he is shortsighted. This is what political PR expert Andrei Zverev thinks.
“The statements of Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev show, first of all, his sincerity. Dmitry Anatolyevich makes these statements to the public. Accordingly, it goes out of the context, as he says these expressions. Another question arises: in public politics we cannot say everything. Perhaps some phrases should target a wider audience than in this case this phrase is directed. For example, for the youth audience, his call to go into business is a rather important indicator that youth can self-actualize through business. And if we already take the addressing of the entire cohort of teachers, especially those who have made a certain length of service, a career, then it looks like they actually sort it out in social networks, ”Zverev told Kommersant FM.
Also among the famous quotes by Dmitry Medvedev: “The WTO is not a carrot, but a set of rather complex responsibilities,” “Freedom is better than lack of freedom,” and “Mine is not a replica, but a sentence. The replicas are with you. And what I say is cast in granite. "

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, known for his memorable quotes, finally broke the long pause. Today the head of the Cabinet of Ministers, whose statements “go to the people”, denied information about his illness, saying that “he was not ill at all”. Although on March 14, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Dmitry Anatolyevich had not been “saved” from the flu epidemic. Realnoe Vremya recalls the prime minister's brightest statements.
"Yes, I was not sick"
The protracted silence of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was interrupted today when, at a meeting with representatives of SMEs, he said that "he was not sick."
“I wasn’t sick,” Medvedev said when one of those present congratulated him on his recovery.
We will remind, on March 14, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Dmitry Medvedev fell ill with the flu. The head of state, discussing the epidemiological situation in Russia, said that the situation with influenza in the country "remains serious," "and Dmitry Anatolyevich has not been saved either."
Almost the brightest quote from Medvedev was heard by the Crimeans, and later by the entire population of the country on May 23, 2016. Photo youtube.com
"No money, but you hold on"
However, the Crimeans, and later the entire population of the country, on May 23, 2016, heard almost the brightest quote from Medvedev. The head of the government pronounced it when one of the local residents complained that pensions are not indexed, and "eight thousand rubles is not enough for life." Medvedev responded by saying: “There is simply no money now. If we find money, we will do indexation. You keep here, all the best, good mood and health to you. "
"Anything can be excited"
This is exactly how Dmitry Medvedev spoke about the bill, according to which law enforcement agencies return the opportunity to initiate tax criminal cases without materials from the tax authorities. It is interesting that the bill was introduced to the Duma by Vladimir Putin. Then many started talking about a difficult relationship in a political tandem. And the whole phrase sounded even harsher:
"You can excite anything you want, especially on request and for money, which often happens when one structure fights against another!"
"About kote"
The story of Dorofey the cat, Medvedev's favorite, became one of the most discussed topics on the Russian Internet in 2012. The commotion was caused by information that the pet allegedly escaped from the residence in Gorki.
Dmitry Anatolyevich commented on the situation by posting on Twitter. “About kote. From sources close to Dorotheus, it became known that he did not disappear anywhere. Thank you all for your concern! "

"The government cannot be shaken like a pear"
With this phrase, Medvedev in 2011 explained why during the years of his presidency, not a single minister left his post due to professional incompetence. “Not all accidents depend on ministers, we really have a very difficult situation both in industry and in the economy. (...) The government must not be shaken like a pear. "
"Barack, rest!"
So in 2010, Medvedev commented on the content of a telephone conversation with the American President to federal channels. In an interview with the press, Dmitry Anatolyevich then, in particular, said that his American colleague was "on vacation." Therefore, he wished him a good rest.
“Barack, rest! You did your job well! " - commented Medvedev.
"What I say is cast in granite"
An equally popular saying of Dmitry Anatolyevich was his words, uttered at the end of 2009 at a meeting of the commission for economic modernization and which, perhaps, were prophetic.
Then, in the status of the president of Russia, he, speaking at a meeting of the commission for the modernization of the economy, interrupted the general director of the state corporation "Russian Technologies" Sergei Chemezov, who tried to give the president an explanation of his "remark".
“No, you don’t need mine. My not a replica already, but a sentence. You have replicas, but everything I say is cast in granite. "

"Scoundrels without brains and conscience"
Bastards "without brains and without conscience" Medvedev called unscrupulous entrepreneurs. The dictum was made by him after a fire in the Perm club "Lame Horse", where in December 2009 more than 150 people died.
"Freedom is better than non-freedom"
Russians also remember Medvedev's statement made in 2008 at the Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum, where he made a big campaign speech as a presidential candidate.
“Our policy should be based on a principle that I consider, despite all its obviousness, to be the most important for the activities of any modern state striving to achieve high living standards. This is the principle “Freedom is better than non-freedom”.
"No need to whine"
The quote also refers to 2008. With this phrase, President Medvedev, while in Magadan, reacted to complaints from entrepreneurs.
"I understand that it is not easy for business to work, that our bureaucratic apparatus is still heavy, but we should not whine."

The song of the Russian showman Semyon Slepakov "Appeal to the People", published on June 6, gained more than two million views on the Internet in just one day. The singer was inspired by the head of the Russian government Dmitry Medvedev. Two weeks ago, when asked by Crimean pensioners about the indexation of pensions, Medvedev replied that there is no money now, but urged people to "hold on" and wished them "good mood and health."
"The country has not seen such an upswing for many years, what is there to be proud of, only there is no money," Slepakov parodies state reports on economic success. The showman does not forget to mention how Russian officials live during the crisis: "Luxury yachts and planes are waiting for us. The Maldives, Monte Carlo, London and Phuket are waiting. We would take you, there is simply no money."
In addition to this song, thousands of other jokes about Dmitry Medvedev appeared on the Runet: posts, tweets and photo toads. DW tracked the Internet trend evolving.
Taxes? No money left
Himself video of Medvedev's communication with Crimean pensioners hit the Internet on May 23 and immediately began to gain viral popularity, and two weeks later, received almost three and a half million views. Runet users instantly reacted to it with thousands of jokes.
The most popular of them are proposals to write the phrase "there is no money, but you hold on" in the tax return or utility bills. Also, this phrase was designed as official government decree ... Some of the users suggested answering like this to banks that are waiting for payments on loans: "There is no money, but you are holding on."
Army and television: there is money
Then the Runet users decided to remember what the Russian budget money was spent on instead of indexing pensions. Favorite examples were the army and state television.
Businessman and media investor Alexander Vinokurov recalled that the loss of the VGTRK holding in 2014 amounted to 21 billion rubles. Television, on which they spent money from the budget, will help Russians "hold on", Vinokurov is sure.
Propaganda posters
Dmitry Medvedev also inspired users to joke about politics. The phrase "there is no money, but you hold on" was turned into fake campaign slogans, including on the theme of the upcoming elections to the State Duma in the fall.
They were awarded to Medvedev himself, a number of deputies and the United Russia party. Some jokes are dedicated to President Vladimir Putin. Medvedev should learn from Putin to answer questions about the indexation of pensions. The President would have answered several times longer and in such a way that nothing was clear, they are sure of the RuNet.
"No money, but you hold on" and Shuvalov's Rolls-Royce
Thanks to the popularity on the Internet, Medvedev's meme even had to comment on Vladimir Putin. The President believes that the phrase " no money but you hold on"taken out of context. In response, some users published a transcript of the meeting with pensioners and noted that Medvedev's words were conveyed quite clearly.
Almost simultaneously with the appearance of the meme, an investigation of the opposition politician Alexei Navalny was published. He claims that First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov bought a Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB car worth 40 million rubles through front companies. This was done after the announcement of sanctions and a sharp deterioration in the state of the Russian economy and the state budget. As a result, Runet users instantly linked this event with Medvedev's call to "hold on."

Attributes of a stable past
"Trudovaya" and the savings bank have long been attributes of stability for Russians. But they are becoming a thing of the past: savings books are being replaced by plastic cards, and "labor" ones are no longer needed due to the lack of official work. During the crisis, more and more Russians are being laid off or leave because of unfavorable conditions themselves, joining the number of the so-called "informally employed". Today there are about 20 million of them in the Russian Federation.

Any whim under 750 percent
Many banks refuse to issue loans to borrowers - the risk of default is too high. Some do not even try to get a loan themselves, because in order to confirm their solvency, they must provide information about employment and a permanent salary. Microfinance institutions offer a way out - when issuing an express loan, they only ask for a passport. The rate can be as high as 750 percent per year.

Market economy
Clothing markets, seemingly already almost completely turned into a relic of the 90s, are gaining popularity again. As a rule, they are located near metro stations. Mainly people from Central Asia and the Caucasus work here. A vest or a T-shirt can be bought for 150 rubles (about 1.7 euros), a shirt for 500 (about 5.8 euros). Of course, we are not talking about any cashier's checks.

"Alik" is the best Chinese friend
Middle-class Russians and young people prefer to buy clothes and equipment online, with foreign stores becoming more and more popular. Recently, the Chinese site AliExpress has won the palm. Shopping here is cheaper than on eBay, not to mention brick-and-mortar stores and malls. Sometimes you have to wait for a package for several weeks, but the savings are worth it.

Time to pick up the knitting needles
Pensioners in Moscow live much better than on the periphery, however, it has become very difficult to live here as well. After paying utility bills, about 8 thousand rubles (about 93 euros) remain on hand. With this money, you need to buy food and medicine for a whole month. Older women are increasingly trying to make money with their handicrafts: they knit socks, shawls, scarves and sell them near the metro.

Stale press
If you want to read a glossy magazine, but there is no money for it, you can buy a magazine from three to four months ago at a discount. Whereas previously unsold expired magazines were mostly thrown away or distributed to libraries for free, now the owners of kiosks prefer to give them away for resale. After all, there is demand.

Not from the shelf, but from under the floor
Some entrepreneurs justify their name in times of crisis by being particularly entrepreneurial. As you know, one of the expense items at grocery stores is a license to sell alcohol. You can save money by abandoning it and removing all goods from the shelves. And for regular customers, bring goods from the warehouse in an opaque package. The price is arbitrary. There is a risk, but whoever does not risk does not sell champagne.

"Networkers" win
During the crisis, purchasing activity in Russia fell by about 10 percent. They began to buy less, trying to choose a cheaper product. Nevertheless, many, having received a salary or pension, try to immediately spend it by buying food and household chemicals for future use: they do not become cheaper, but income is depreciated due to inflation. Preference is given to chain supermarkets where promotions take place.

Intermediaries don’t worry!
An honorable place in the newspaper ruins is occupied by publications devoted to finding housing and work. It is expensive to look for an apartment through a realtor - you have to pay him a commission for services, so the demand for rent without intermediaries has increased. The same applies to work - not every employer or job seeker wants to pay for the services of recruiting agencies. A newspaper ad carries risks, but you can still find useful information.

Hope only for passers-by
It cannot be said that there are noticeably more people begging on the streets of Moscow or in the metro and underground passages. Another thing is that more and more often you can see people who are ashamed of this occupation, clearly not accustomed to it. When they see the camera, they turn away or leave. Although, it would seem, they should not be ashamed at all.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedevin the course of communication with the participants of the "Territory of Meanings" forum on the Klyazma, he advised teachers complaining about low salaries to earn money in business. “I am often asked about teachers and instructors. This is a vocation, and if you want to earn money, there are many great places where you can do it faster and better. The same business, ”said Mr Medvedev.
The prime minister's statement was in response to a question from a teacher from Dagestan about why in Russia the salaries of the security forces are much higher than the salaries of teachers.
Medvedev responded by saying that when he worked as a teacher after graduating from university, he received 90 rubles a month, while novice policemen - 250 rubles each.
The Prime Minister's speech caused a lively reaction on social networks - among the statements on this issue there were many criticisms.
“Dmitry Anatolyevich confuses unleavened food 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 and comfortably. You can not give a damn about our profession, as, in fact, it has been done for many years, but history shows that national security and teachers are very strongly interconnected, even more than with the security forces, "- said in an interview with the radio station" Moscow Says "" Teacher of the Year -2009 ", physics teacher at Nogin school No. 5 Vadim Muranov.
“It is also interesting - in which wonderful country did the police get 250 rubles each? I stood at the machine, overfulfilled the plan and did not always get 250, and not all of them. By the way, later 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, "- wrote on his Facebook page a well-known publicist and translator Dmitry "Goblin" Puchkov, formerly an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
About "good mood and health"
Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev owns a large number of phrases that are remembered by the people and have become practically aphorisms.
In May 2016, during a visit by the Prime Minister of Russia to Crimea, a pensioner approached Medvedev, complaining about the low level of pensions.
Answering the woman, the Prime Minister, in particular, said: “There is simply no money now. If we find money, we will do indexation. You keep here, all the best, good mood and health to you. "
This statement immediately became part of folklore and still walks around the country.
Commenting on this speech, russian President Vladimir Putin said: “I have not seen Dmitry Anatolyevich say something similar 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 be presented in some other way. "
The head of state is absolutely right - we are simply not talking about the most successful phrase. However, it is not in vain that the proverb says: "The word is not a sparrow, if it flies out, you won't catch it!"
About the "young country of Russia"
On December 31, 2010, speaking with the New Year's address to the people as president, Dmitry Medvedev said: “We have a rich and ancient history, and we are rightfully proud of it. And at the same time, Russia is a young country. Let me remind you that in the coming year she will be only twenty years old ”.
As in the case of Medvedev's recent speech in Crimea, the politician did not mean anything 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 the "young country, which is only 20 years old" also entered 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 Chemezovafter the speech of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, he asked to speak in order to respond, as he put it, to the "remark" of the head of state.
Chemezov's remark did not please Medvedev, and he snapped: “My not a remark already, but a sentence. You have your remarks. And what I say is cast in granite. "
According to reference books, granite is an acidic igneous intrusive rock consisting 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, of which they form the basis of most of all continents.
Granite is used as a facing stone, as the main material for making monuments, but casting anything from it is quite problematic.
Of course, we are once again talking about an imprecise wording.
About "big and fat cats" in sports
In 2010, after the 2010 Vancouver Olympics unsuccessful for Russia, Dmitry Medvedev uttered 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 are sometimes big and fat like cats, let alone the heads of federations and not even coaches, for all the colossal Respect for him: athletes achieve success - they must be the epicenter of attention. "
Unfortunately, these words were not heard and understood. "Big and fat cats" from the sports bureaucracy put Russia on the brink of being barred from the 2016 Olympics. It is possible that at least now the "fat cats" will be thoroughly shaken up - albeit with a clear delay.
Medvedev responded normally. Here is an excerpt from V. Sinelnikov's book on this topic: The presence of money in your life is directly related to how you treat yourself. How much do you value and respect yourself? I remember one situation that happened to me. I stood in line at the savings bank to pay for the light. Ahead of me, two women of retirement age scolded the current government. - Here are bastards, - said one, - well, how can you live on such a pension? “That's it,” the other echoed her, “the rent is more than my pension. - We have brought people to poverty, and the salaries themselves have made ten times more. - Yes, and they steal. Then one of them turns to me and asks: - Tell me, young man, is that fair? - Do you honestly answer or lie? I asked. - Of course, honestly! - Well, to be honest, this is very fair. Judging by the pause that arose after my words, this woman was clearly not ready to hear this. I didn’t wait for a response and asked: - Now you answer my question: how much do you cost? - In what sense? she asked a little dumbfounded. - Of course, not in the sense that I want to spend the night with you. - And in vain, - the second woman intervened in our conversation, - we are still nothing. We all laughed together. - Look, - I say, showing them the book, - this book costs five hryvnia. How much are you worth? - Ah-ah-ah, - she said drawlingly, - well, if in that sense, then you won't give a penny for me. - That's why you suffer from lack of money. You need to thank the state. After all, it gives you much more, and you scold it. How do you feel about yourself, dear reader? How developed is your self-esteem? If you periodically scold yourself, feel guilty, or think that you are worse or better than someone else, then you have problems not only with self-esteem and self-love, but also with life. It is easy to see this with the help of the diagram: I am worse than someone, I am bad - "I am not worthy of life -" program of self-destruction In this case, your energy is directed to the one who considers himself good and worthy. I am good, I am beautiful - I am worthy of life - "development program Let us derive another formula for money:" The amount of money is directly proportional to the amount of self-respect. "And how do we treat ourselves ?! Moreover, on a national scale. and resources, both natural and human, but we do not value ourselves. And the media support this state. Constantly emphasize that we are a third world country, that Russian Vanya is a fool, an alcoholic and a libertine. Or people have not been paid their salaries for months or years, but they continue to go to work. How does is called? This is an elementary lack of self-esteem, the height of self-dislike. You must respect and love yourself. Develop self-esteem and wisdom. No inferiority complexes!
