Stalin, Kruschev, Brezhnev and Yeltsin are on a train. The train breaks down.

Stalin says "Don't worry comrades, I'll the problem." He leaves the carriage, and returns a few minutes later. "I have had the train crew shot."

The train does not move.

Kruschev says "Don't worry comrades, I'll fix the problem." He leaves the carriage, and returns a few minutes later. "I have had the replacement train crew sent to the East for re-education."

The train does not move.

Brezhnev says "Don't worry comrades, I'll fix the problem." He gets up, draws the curtains of the carriage, and says "If we bounce up and down, we can pretend we're moving."

Yeltsin says: "Don't worry, citizens. I'll fix this problem." He puts down his bottle, staggers to his feet and shouts for a western economist for help.

The train starts moving ... backward!

In a little farmhouse in Georgia:

Little Girl: "Daddy, what did we use for light before we had candles?"

Father: "Electric lightbulbs."

From the life of russian servicemen:

A soldier keeps a mug upside down and tells the sergeant:
- I can't drink from this mug. It has no opening.
The sergeant examines the mug and says:
- You are right. And besides this, it has no bottom.

Is it that bad up there now? A year ago they had that big wine scandal since then I have not taken any interest in the news about Georgia.

I went to Georgia in 2005 and I really liked it there...but I hear it is very poor and I only saw that from a distance. With some outside western help Georgia should become a better place. It's a beautiful country with some proud people

Q: How many Vitushek does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: None. Vitusha doesn't screw them in, his mother does.

A. Leave my mother out of this.
B. I don't care what your problem is, but you are not going to run me off this site, as I have as much right to post here as you do. If you don't like it, too bad.
C. You are obviously not Russian. Not on the inside. You called yourself "American" so many times you have forgotten what your true nationality is. I've met people like you before. Never had a pleasant experience with any one of them.
D. Not even my friends get to call me Vitiusha, not my girlfriend, not even my mother. And to you, as I don't even know you, or wish to know you for that matter, it is Victor Nikolaevich.
E. To set matters straight. I am not from Ukraine. Don't know why you'd think that. I am actualy originaly from Irkutsk. That is also where my parents and my brother live.

P.S. Solis, why don't you stay out of this. This is really some problem that Vitalsigns has against me, and I am trying, as you can see, to settle it like a man. He, on the other hand has so far responded only with dumb, immature, childish jokes and remarks. Brainless insults. I honestly don't know how to even cook okroshka, and neither does anyone in my family. Like I said, I am very far from being Ukarinian, also I fail to see what is wrong with being Ukrainian. Vitalsigns, I think, has some deep social issues he needs to work out with himself first. Then talk to other people.

That is all for today. I have to go now. Talk to you all later.
Victor Nikolaevich Riabnikov
