The 'Last Veteran' meme features a deeply moving photograph of Konstantin Pronin, a World War II veteran, sitting alone on a bench during a Victory Day parade in Moscow. The image gained global recognition because Pronin was the only member of his unit to show up, as his comrades had all passed away. While the original context is one of profound respect and sadness, the internet has adopted the image to represent any situation involving being the final survivor of a group. It is frequently used to describe the feeling of being the last person active in a dead video game, the only friend who hasn't moved away, or the sole person who remembers a specific piece of niche internet history.
