The line comes from an episode of the Russian crime drama “Улицы разбитых фонарей” (“Streets of Broken Lamps”), filmed in early 1999 for season 2, episode “Визит к доктору” (“Visit to the Doctor”). The clip circulated as a video meme across the Runet before Russian musician-video editor Enjoykin, who keeps his real identity secret, remixed it into a song on 10 August 2016.
