Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Preved (Russian: ) is a meme in the Russian-speaking Internet which developed out of a heavily-circulated picture, and consists of choosing alternative spellings for words for comic effect. The picture, a modified version of John Lurie's watercolor Bear Surprise, whose popularity was stoked by emails and blogs, features a man and a woman having sex in the clearing of a forest, being surprised by a bear calling Surprise! with its paws raised. In later Russian adaptations, the bear shouts Preved! (a deliberate misspelling of privet, - hi! ). In keeping with a popular trend of image manipulation, the iconic bear (dubbed Medved (a misspelling of - bear)) has been inserted into many other pictures where his appearance adds a new dimension to the joke. The word and the bear image have found their way into the mainstream mass media, such as a poster for the Russian edition of Newsweek.
