Stalin, Khrushchev, and Brezhnev are riding together on a train, which suddenly
comes to a halt. After sitting for several minutes, the three men begin to grow
impatient. Stalin shouts: “Shoot the engineer!” is is done, but the train doesn’t
move. So Khrushchev shouts: “Tell the men in the locomotive that communism is
right around the bend!” Still, no movement. “Comrades, comrades,” Brezhnev says,
“there’s no need to shout. Let’s just close the curtains and pretend the train is moving.”
I suppose this joke is less funny now than it was in 1975, but Brezhnev jokes
never really go out of style...

e former ruler of Russia and his wife were called Tsar and Tsarina... eir children
were called Tsardines. I think I can, I think I can... Imagine that each leader
of the United Soviet Socialist Republic finds himself on a train in the middle
of nowhere, when suddenly the tracks have come to an end. What instructions
would he give to his entourage? Lenin: “Go infuse the peasants with revolutionary
spirit and organize them to build new rails to carry our train forward!” Stalin:
“Round up the peasants, lay down their bodies before the train and we shall ride
over them.” Khrushchev: “Go out, tear up the tracks from behind the train, set
them down in front and we shall continue our journey.” Brezhnev: “Pull all the
curtains in the carriage, rock back and forth and make clicking noises.” Gorbachev:
“We have glasnost now. Run outside and shout at the top of your lungs:
“ere are no rails!”.” Yeltsin: “Give the tracks, the train, and the passengers back
to their original homelands!”

An anecdote told during the Brezhnev era:
Stalin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev were all travelling together in a railway carriage,
when unexpectedly the train stopped. Stalin put his head out of the window
and shouted: “Shoot the driver!” But the train didn’t start moving. Khrushchev
then shouted: “Rehabilitate the driver!” But it still didn’t move. Brezhnev
then said: “Comrades, Comrades, let’s draw the curtains, turn on the gramo-
