I miss the jokes about the Soviet rulers; it seems the new leaders
don't evoke the same need to laugh (to keep from crying, no doubt).
(Although there are a few jokes about Yeltsin's drinking.)  You know,
for example the one about Gorbachev, Brezhnev, Khrushchev, and Stalin
riding on a train together, and it breaks down.  First they go to
Stalin, who order the engineers shot.  The train starts again
(mysteriously) but eventually breaks down again.  They go to
Khrushchev, who orders the previously-shot engineers to be
rehabilitated and returned to work.  The trains starts again, and
eventually stops again.  Brezhnev says (indistinctly) "What train?".
Same thing occurs, and Gorbachev says "Everybody out and push!".

What's an amateur Sovietologist (as opposed to Kremliniologist; I had
no favorites) to do when the Soviets go away?
