What it means

A green Pepe the Frog dressed as a Russian soldier comforts or restrains a crying brown character in front of a historical battle painting and a list of Russo-Turkish wars, most marked as Russian victories. The joke contrasts the intimidating military history with the caption “the weak should fear the strong,” presenting Russia as the strong side and the crying figure as the weak side. It is used as an absurd historical reaction meme about dominance, military power, or an overwhelming opponent.
