Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev are all travelling together in a railway carriage. Unexpectedly the train stops. Lenin suggests: ‘Perhaps, we should call a subbotnik, so that workers and peasants fix the problem.’ Stalin says ‘We should execute the driver as a wrecker’. But the train doesn’t start moving. Khrushchev then suggests, ‘Let’s take the rails behind the train and use them to construct the tracks in the front.’ But it still doesn’t move. Brezhnev then says, ‘Comrades, Comrades, let’s draw the curtains, turn on the gramophone and pretend we’re moving!’
