In today's world, people from different places share funny stuff online. One place where Slavic culture shines is the 'Scenic Depictions of Slavic Life' Facebook page. It's full of memes and pictures that show what life is like in Slavic countries.

The guy behind it all is Matei Tabacu. He started with a page called 'Squatting Slavs in Tracksuits' back in 2015. He's from a Slavic country and saw there wasn't much Slavic humor online, so he decided to make some.

Matei's pages became super popular. He made more pages on Facebook, like 'Babushka' and 'Lada Life.' He also has an Instagram account. People love his memes because they're funny and show things that lots of folks can relate to, not just Slavic people.

One of the most famous memes is the Squatting Slav. It's about a type of person called a Gopnik. They're like Russian street toughs who wear tracksuits and hang out outside. The meme became popular and is now a symbol of Slavic culture online.

Even though the memes are funny, they also remind people of their shared culture. Whether it's talking about grandmas making special drinks or wearing scarves, these memes bring people together.

Sometimes, though, there's controversy. Some of the stuff sold with the memes has symbols from the old Soviet Union. Some people think it's not cool because it reminds them of bad times. But overall, Matei's project shows how humor can bring people from different backgrounds closer together.
