[ pa'tom daka'zhee shto ty ni verbl'yud ]
Literally:
Then prove that you are not a camel!
Meaning:
It is usually said when the narrator is faced with the impossibility of proving the obvious absence of his guilt in something.
Origin:
This phrase appeared after a popular Soviet political anecdote in the USSR in the 1920s - 1930s
Foxes (or hares) are running across the border of the USSR. They are asked:
- Why are you running away?
- Because they will arrest all the camels.
- But you’re not camels, are you?
- So, go and prove to the NKVD that you are not a camel!

🔻This is a famous phrase uttered by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on August 11, 2015 during a press conference with Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir and then received widespread media coverage, turning into a meme.
🔻In the posted recording it was not clear to whom this statement was addressed, but a minute later Lavrov made a remark to the people sitting in the hall: “Are we disturbing you?”
🔻Literally it can be translated as: '
🔻Lavrov’s phrase subsequently came to mean a person or some group of people who do or say stupid things.
PS Russian famous '

🔻First mentioned in documents in 862 as an important settlement, by the 10th century Rostov became the capital city of Vladimir-Suzdal, the most prominent principalities in Rus'.
🔻Ravaged by the Mongols in the 13th and 14th centuries, and the Poles in 1608, Rostov survived as a medium-sized town.
🔻The main thing why tourists come here is the most beautiful temples, monasteries and cathedrals.
🔻If you are not a fan of church architecture, then there is also something for you to see museums, gardens, fortresses, galleries and much more.
🔻The Rostov Kremlin museum complex was included among the most valuable cultural heritage sites of which Russia is proud.
🔻While the official name of the town is Rostov, it is popularly known to Russians as Rostov Veliky (Ростов Великий) to distinguish it from the much larger city of Rostov-on-Don.
