If you’re an Instagram user living in Prague, you may have scrolled past content by the account Just Czech Things, a profile with over 65k followers run by 32-year-old Arthur Kornienko. Originally from Russia, Kornienko is often mistaken as a Prague or Czech local based on the memes he makes that take inspiration from Czech jokes and cultural commentary.

“I’m a humble meme-maker during the night and a normal person during the day. My name is Arthur, I’m 32-years-old and I’m actually not from Europe, some people think I’m from the Czech Republic or Europe, but I’m actually from far away originally, from Russia. I’ve been living in the Czech Republic for nine years now.”
