What does the “Byla kakaya-to taktika” meme mean?

People use it after an unexplained win, a gracefully accepted loss, or to politely dodge an overly precise question.

The line comes from an interview filmed and posted in 2016, and the clip “S samogo nachala u menya byla kakaya-to taktika i ya yeyo priderzhivalsya” quickly broke loose. Several videos carry close titles, such as “Funny interview, stuck to the tactic”, and the phrase reappears in remixes as “Tam kakaya-to taktika dolzhna byt”. The interviewee’s calm tone, halfway between serious and empty, did the rest.
