Radio Yerevan on Generals

 Radio Yerevan, is it possible for the son of a General to become a Marshal?

In theory, yes, but it is not likely. Many Marshals have sons, too.

Progress since the October Revolution

On the anniversary of the October Revolution, the local Party committee meets, and the boss of the local Soviet praises their progress since then.

"Dear comrades! Let's look back at the amazing achievements of our Party after the revolution. For example, look at Maria. Who was she before? An illiterate peasant woman who owned only one dress and no shoes. And now? She's an exemplary milkmaid known over the entire region.

"Or look at Ivan Andreev. He was the poorest man in this village! He didn't own a horse, a cow, or even a wood axe. And now? He's a tractor driver, and has two pairs of shoes!

"Or look at Trofim Semyonovich Alekseev. He was a nasty hooligan, the lowest of drunkards, a dirty gadabout. Nobody trusted him even with a snowdrift in wintertime, and he would steal anything his gaze fell upon. And now he's a Secretary of the Party Committee!"

The first Soviet strip club

 The Soviet government decides to establish the first strip club in Moscow. However, it doesn't have many customers, so they bring in an American designer to take a look at it.

He examines every detail: the location, the layout, the decor, the menu, the drinks, the music, the performances, and anything else one could think of.

He returns to the Soviet officials and says, "Everything about this building is perfect, the only thing you need to change is get different performers."

"Impossible!" says the chief official. "They're perfect for the job! They've been loyal members of the Party for over fifty years!"
