러시아식 유머 모음
"Stalin calls his economists together and says he wants to organize a grand celebration for the people for several weeks. He asks them how much it would cost him, but no one can answer. Finally, one economist intervenes: "It could be done very cheaply: just buy a bullet and shoot yourself, and everyone will celebrate."
The doctor who told this joke was denounced, arrested, and sentenced to 8 years in a gulag.
The doctor might have had friends, such as the judge who could have had a relative formerly treated by the sentenced.
A prisoner was asked why he was in the gulag. “I saw a lecture called The Way to Marx, and asked ‘Are you looking for people to go to this planet Marx [sounds like Mars]?’ and got 5 years. The trusty roared with laughter.

Two judges talking.
Why are you laughing so hard? Some one told me a joke. Well, tell me, I need a good chuckle. Can’t, as I just sentenced someone 8 years for telling it.

This one was from the book Red Plenty as recalled.
A prosecutor had a young woman who was on the dock for practicing weird sex at a party. He recognized her, and had done the same thing to her a week earlier!

Jokes are part of Russian — and were of Soviet — life. They often have a hard edge.
Why so glum? I am visiting my mother in law for her 140th birthday. Stop it, humans don’t live so long. Sure, but who is talking about a human?

It isn’t so different in the US about mother in laws:
US President Harry Truman said he wanted to hire a one-armed economist. He was tired of getting advice like:
“Mr President, on the one hand, you could do this and improve the US economy. But on the other hand, it would hurt the economy too.”
A one-armed economist can’t say “on the other hand,” since he has only one hand. 😂
As told in the DDR movie “Lives of Others”
At sunrise Erich Honiker takes a stroll. “Good morning Sun” he says, and to his surprise the sun replies “good morning Comrade Party Chairman”.
At midday he takes another. “good day Sun”, and the sun replies “good day Comrade Party Chairman”.
At sunset he is out again and says “good evening Sun” to which the Sun relies “oh piss off Erich, I'm in the West now!”.
