Hi Vali,<br>
You are absolutely correct about Communist jokes coming not only from
Russia....I was bogged down with an appropriate term to use for "former
states of the Soviet Union" so I simply reverted to Russia which is
grossly incorrect. Please bear with me.<br>

Communist jokes came not only from Russia, but occupied countries as
well. A good many are about Russians - understandably. Escapees from
the paradise behind the Iron Curtain published books of such. Thanks
for the tip about Mark Twain; I need to find an original English copy.
I read him in the 1940's and 50's. Cheers, Val Geist
