    He's still celebrating!

    "He was too absurd to make me angry. Indeed, it was a waste of energy, for if you were going to be angry with this man you would be angry all the time."

    Let me explain Putin's relation to crustaceans
    Putin once said: "(...) я пахал как раб на галерах" (a colloquial phrase which means "I've been working like a galley slave").
    Some buffoons on the Internet reduced his boasting to absurdity by pretending to misheard "как раб" as "как краб".
    Since then Putin's nickname among many Internet users is краб (or крабе to sound funnier), i. e. crab - just for lulz
    This absurd joke is so hard to get that the Russian Google is still showing search prompt "почему путин краб" to thousands of users trying to figure out what is so funny about it.

    Ah OK. Thanks for explaining this. I thought it was funny before, but it's much funnier now!
