On a state visit to America, Foreign Minister Molotov heard one American official mention that he knew a voodoo shaman that could raise the dead.
To retort, Molotov said that there was a man in Russia who could run faster than a jet fighter.
Later, Molotov was talking with Khrushchev about his visit, and he mentions the outlandish claims.
"I'm worried," Khrushchev says, "what if they demand to see this man run?"
"Then we'll ask them to show us the shaman and have him raise Stalin from the dead."
"And if he does?"
"Then you'll be the one running faster than a jet fighter, Nikita Sergeyevich."
