A friend and former co-worker of mine is from Poland, and he loved telling Soviet-era jokes about Russia- I don't know which I enjoyed more - the jokes, or watching his obvious pleasure of crafting a story with a twist at the end. I understand this isn't exactly what you are looking for, but it's hard to not share a good joke - I am including a few he has emailed me-
:A Briton, a Frenchman and a Russian are viewing a painting of Adam and Eve frolicking in the Garden of Eden. "Look at their reserve, their calm," muses the Brit. "They must be British."
"Nonsense," the Frenchman disagrees. "They're naked, and so beautiful. Clearly, they are French."
"No way! They have no clothes and no shelter," the Russian points out, "They have only an apple to eat, and they are being told they live in a paradise. Obviously, they are Russian."
:What did the Romanian people light their houses with before they started using candles?
Electricity.
:One Russian and one Polish workman were digging the foundations for a new road. After several hours of hard toil, the Polish guy hits his shovel on something hard in the ground. Both men work hurriedly to dig the object out and discover that it's a treasure chest. On opening it they find jewels, coins, gold etc. beyond their wildest dreams. Both are wild with happiness and dance around madly. When they have calmed down, the Russian takes the Polish workman's hand and earnestly says, "Sir, we will share this just like Russian - Polish comrades should," and the Polish guy says, "Oh no, 50--50."
:An American, a Czech, and a Russian are stranded on a desert island. They find a lamp, rub it, and a genie offers them each 3 wishes.
The American says: "I want to be back in America. I want a nicer house, and I want a nicer car." His wishes are granted and he disappears.
The Czech says: "I want to be back in Czechoslovakia. I want a nicer flat, and I want a car." His wishes are granted and he disappears.
The Russian says: "I want a loaf of bread. I want a bottle of vodka, and I want you to bring the American and the Czech back."
:An American, a Czech, and a Russian are debating whose country has superior agriculture. The American says, "In America, we have developed such an amazing potato plant that two months after you plant it, you can harvest it."
Not very impressive," says the Czech, "In Czechoslovakia, we have developed a potato plant that can be harvested only one month after you plant it."
That's nothing," says the Russian, "Our potatoes are harvested the day after they are planted."
That's impossible," say the American and the Czech.
You don't know hunger," says the Russian.
What occupies the last 6 pages of the Lada User's Manual?
