When Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev visited Crimea, he was prepared for handshakes, meetings and rainbows. A soundbite here, a photo-op there. He probably didn't expect one pensioner's question to make him cannon fodder for the RuNet's meme lovers. When an angry old woman repeatedly asked him why pensions hadn't been adjusted for inflation yet, Medvedev offered a concise, if awkward, answer: "There's just no money. When we find the money - we'll do it. Hang on in there. All the best." As he walked of, dozens of Russians went on their preferred social media sites to share their reactions.
