In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Sovpadenie? Ne dumayu” is a rare card of the Russian Memes pack, number 64 of the collection, and the 40th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Sovpadenie? Ne dumayu” meme mean?

The phrase ironically points out that someone is pretending to see a cause-and-effect link or a conspiracy behind two facts that probably have no connection at all. People drop it after listing an absurd coincidence, imitating the solemn tone of a commentator trying to suggest a hidden design. It is a tool for self-mockery or for teasing an overly dramatic argument, never a serious accusation.

Where does the “Sovpadenie? Ne dumayu” meme come from?

The line draws on the rhetorical style of Dmitry Kiselyov, a Russian journalist and television host, deputy director general of VGTRK since 2008 and director general of the “Rossiya Segodnya” agency since December 9, 2013, known for a grave, insinuating on-air delivery. The Runet picked up the phrase “Coincidence? I don’t think so” from that style and reused it as a caption on edits stringing together two unrelated facts to parody conspiratorial speech. The phrase later detached from its specific broadcast origin to become a standalone catchphrase, used in comments and memes with no direct reference to the host.

How to use the “Sovpadenie? Ne dumayu” meme
