The “dark essence” of the number 13 this year will have to be attributed to most of the events that Russians named significant in the course of our annual survey.

However, there is something that pleased the year.

Last year 2013 was rich in events and Internet users, of course, reacted to this with bursts of creativity. During the year, a lot of specific jokes and memes appeared on the network. The most popular of them are in the review of the BBC service, which was studied by Kazinform news agency.
Memes, or as they are also called media viruses, are most often versions of the most popular pictures or videos “flavored” with jokes and sarcastic remarks. Memes-2013 is a kind of look at the history of 2013.
The compilers of the Oxford English Dictionary recognized as the word of 2013 "selfie" - a self-portrait uploaded to a social network and known among Russian Internet users as a "bow".
The most famous and at the same time a failure was the "selfie" of US President Barack Obama and the Prime Ministers of Great Britain and Denmark - David Cameron and Helle Thorning-Schmidt. State leaders filmed themselves on a mobile phone during a memorial ceremony for former South African President Nelson Mandela in South Africa.
The picture caused a wave of discussion and criticism of politicians.
Also, a huge number of jokes were generated by the news about the fall of a meteorite in Chelyabinsk in February of this year.
Thousands of photoshops and jokes instantly appeared on the Internet. So, Internet users noticed that the residents of Chelyabinsk love video recorders and know how to remain calm in any situation, even in the event of a meteorite fall.
One of the most popular was the joke that the meteorite was actually supposed to fall in December 2012 - the day when, according to a number of predictions, the end of the world was supposed to come. However, the celestial body “arrived” on earth only in February, because the Russian post was involved in its delivery, Internet users sarcastically noted.
American internet hit The Harlem Shake looks set to break Korean Gangham Style's internet hit record. In a video on the Internet, New Yorkers, young and old, demonstrate their dancing skills. In the original video, several strangely dressed people danced to the music of Brooklyn-based producer Baauer.
However, it was the parodies of this video that gained the most popularity. So, for example, "Harlem Shake" performed by the military personnel of the Norwegian army gained more views than the original.
Residents of Russia filmed thousands of their versions of the strange dance.
American actor Jean-Claude Van Damme showed great stretch and restraint in car commercials. In the video, he sits down on the twine, standing on the roofs of two trucks driving along the road.
After that, the army of admirers and followers of Jean-Claude Van Damme grew exponentially. Videos appeared on the network in which Van Damme's grandmother, and a dog, and even a cat demonstrate stretching.
At the end of November, a “suitcase house” nine meters high and 30 meters long appeared on Red Square. It was built on the eve of the fashion house exhibition dedicated to the 120th anniversary of the Moscow GUM.
The appearance of a giant case on Red Square caused a wave of jokes in the blogosphere: from allusions to the "suitcase" mood of the inhabitants of the Kremlin to a quote from the song: "Come on, put your suitcase away."
On Knowledge Day, the President of Russia visited one of the schools in the city of Kurgan. During the inspection, Vladimir Putin looked into the computer science room, where an interactive whiteboard was installed. The teacher demonstrated to the President the capabilities of the interactive whiteboard - you can write on it with your finger.
Putin could not resist the opportunity to test it in the work and drew a picture, saying "this is for your memory."
One of the schoolchildren did not understand what the president depicted and asked for an explanation. "It's a cat. Rear view,” Putin replied and laughed.
Putin's drawing became an instant hit. Parodies of the drawing flooded the net. Bloggers and ordinary users offered their own versions of demotivators, exercising their wit.
A group of students from the city of Bordeaux kidnapped a llama from a local circus. The photos they took went viral and turned the animal into a popular meme.
On the night of October 30-31, five drunken students from the French city of Bordeaux entered the local circus and released several animals, including a zebra. They took with them a trombone, a plush lion, and a live llama named Serge.
Students were detained after trying to ride a tram with a lama.
Within a few hours, Lama Serge became a popular meme, having acquired a parody Twitter account, which almost two thousand people signed up in three days.
The French public opposed harsh punishment for students' misconduct, collecting more than 700,000 likes on the corresponding Facebook page - almost twice as much as the profile of President Francois Hollande.
Calm lemur has become the most popular meme in Runet. There are several versions of the appearance of this picture.
The most romantic is the story about a guy who sent this picture with a lemur to his girlfriend to calm her down at a difficult moment.
Groups of fans and numerous images of a lemur broadcasting something soothing instantly appeared on the Internet.
In the midst of the Euromaidan protest action, a lot of pictures of lemurs in different images appeared on the Ukrainian segment of the Internet with the caption “we will not be afraid.”
2013 is coming to an end and we are happy to sum up the results: who managed to achieve something, who met their love, who were lucky, and who were not so lucky. Let's look back together and find out what interesting things happened in the world in 2013.

HIV cure
Scientists from Mississippi claim that with the help of a new vaccine they managed to cure a little girl from HIV. Great, now it remains to find a cure for cancer!
newborn prince
