Vanya is asked to bring 3 rubles to school to support the Communist Party of Afghanistan, but he doesn't because he doesn't believe there's such thing as a Communist Party in Afghanistan.
The next day, the students are asked to bring 3 rubles to support the trade unions of Afghanistan. Vanya doesn't bring them, though, because he doesn't believe there are such things in Afghanistan.
The day after, the students are asked to bring 3 rubles to help the starving children of Afghanistan. Vanya brings in 9 rubles, and says, "My father says that if they have starving children, they must have the Communist Party and trade unions, too."
Variants replace Vanya with another generic kid's name for the local language in an SSR, like Juku.
