In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Tretie sentiabria” is a mythic card of the Russian Memes pack, number 117 of the collection, and the 1st 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 “Tretie sentiabria” meme mean?
The meme consists of resurfacing the song or its phrase every year, on September 3rd, treating that exact date as an almost sacred appointment across the Russian-language internet. More broadly, it is used to poke fun at any expectation tied to a very specific date, described with so much detail it sounds solemn, even when that date carries no real significance.
Where does the “Tretie sentiabria” meme come from?
“Tretye sentyabrya” is a lyrical Russian song first performed by Mikhail Shufutinsky in 1993, then included in 1994 on his solo album “Gulyay, dusha”. The music was composed by Igor Krutoy and the lyrics written by Igor Nikolaev. The song found a second life in 2011, when a meme built around it took off on the runet, the Russian-language internet, giving it massive renewed popularity. It has since become Shufutinsky's “calling card”, resurfacing every year on September 3rd in online discussions as a genuine cultural ritual.
