The turbulent political events of recent weeks have provided plenty of material for meme creators to showcase their wit. The Propastop editorial team has compiled a selection of memes about Kaja Kallas, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, as well as Viktor Orbán’s visit to Moscow. Additionally, we offer an example of how the Russian occupiers’ outdoor advertisement in Sevastopol backfired on them.

VICTOR ORBÁN’S SOLO TRIP TO MOSCOW
The meeting between Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, whose country held the presidency of the European Union, and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow received much criticism. On this occasion, numerous memes mocking the long-time Kremlin friend’s actions were created and reused.
Viktor Orbán leads the party Fidesz, and in Russian, the word пиздец has a similar sound. Meme creators merged these two and redesigned the official Fidesz logo accordingly. (The vulgar word пиздец can be translated into English as, among other things, clusterfuck; extremely undesirable situation, fuckload, shitload.)
