A Polish artist is commissioned by the Politburo to paint a work honoring Polish-Soviet relations. He tells them he'll call his painting 'Lenin in Poland', and they approve.
When it comes time for the painting to be unveiled, the audience is shocked. The painting shows Leon Trotsky in Lenin's bed, where he's having sex with Nadezhda Lenina!
"This is an outrage!" the commissar cries. "Where is Lenin?!"
The artist replies, "Lenin is in Poland."
A variant has the artwork be a film instead of a painting, likely as a reference to a Soviet film of that name.
