181. Russian Humor Political, Chapayev, motherin-law, and Hussar's jokes. http://russia-in-us.com/Humor/

Humor Russian Jokes Political Jokes. One of the most common targets of Russian political jokes during the Soviet regime was the Jew, often portrayed as a character named Rabinowich (considered to be an exclusively Jewish last name in Russia). In addition to being blamed for any and all difficulties faced by Russians as a whole, Jews were caught between opposing sides in major political debates as well. For example, those who hated communism blamed Jews for establishing and maintaining its power, while communist sympathizers believed that Jews wrote and spread jokes about their form of government. Chapayev Cha-pa-yev, Vasily I (1887-1919). Russian military hero; Red army leader during civil war (1918-1919); commanded the 25th division around Samara (Kuibyshev). He was surrounded and wounded while in pursuit of Kolchak's routed army, and he drowned in the Ural River while attempting to escape. [Websters's Biographical Dictionary]. Mother-in-Law The majority of young couples in Russia live with either the wife's or the husband's parents. Most newlyweds would prefer a life of their own, free from parental constraint; unfortunately, very few apartments are freely available for rent in Russia, as most are assigned to particular families for life. Being forced to live under the same roof inevitably leads to unpleasantness and even hatred between a man and his mother-in-law. In extreme cases, the conflict between them leads to a divorce between the man and his wife. The anectodes about mothers-in-law have always been among the most popular among all jokes told in Russia. However, most Americans do not find them as funny as the average Russian (most likely because American men are much less frequently forced to endure their mother-in-law's wrath in her own house). Here are a few examples of Russian mother-in-law jokes.

YOUR E-MAIL ALERTS Explosions Russia or Create your own Manage alerts What is this? The ministry said investigators at the site suspected escaping gas had caused the explosion Thursday in the city of Chita, about 4,500 km (2,800 miles) east of Moscow and near Russia's borders with Mongolia and China. "Fifteen people were killed and 17 injured. Our preliminary explanation is that this was caused by domestic gas," a ministry spokesman said. The building was completely destroyed. Gas explosions are common in Russia, where infrastructure has gone largely unmaintained since the collapse of the Soviet Union. In Russia's southern region of Dagestan, four teenagers were also killed on Thursday when the hot water boiler exploded at their school.

A good merchant has neither money nor goods. A net will catch more than a pole. A priest's belly is made up of several sheepskins. All ages are submissive to love. An argument is fine only when there is to be a fight. As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far place. Don't drive a Binya into the woods if he has found his way to your house. Don't raise your stick and the dog won't bark at you. Eat what is cooked, listen to what is said. Even honor is not an honor, if there is nothing to eat. For him who does not believe in signs, there is no way to live in the world. He can cheat a fish of its skin. He took the devil's mat, but he'll pay back with his skin. His word is as good as a tied knot. If the pocket is empty, the judge is deaf. If you don't deceive, you can't sell. Loose words are picked up like gold coin. No one knows how the poor man dines. Not everything is a mermaid that dives into the water. Old age is not a joy, but death is not a gain. One man in a field is not a warrior. Peace lasts till the army comes, and the army lasts till peace comes. Smooth hands love the labor of others.

After two days of talks with senior Russian leaders, including Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov, Camdessus said Moscow would have to redouble efforts to keep Russia's economic reforms on track. The stakes for Russia are high: Moscow owes billions of dollars to workers, pensioners and international creditors and wants the IMF to provide new installments of a $22.6 billion assistance package, which includes loans from the World Bank and the Japanese government. So far, the IMF and other lenders have only released about $5 billion, putting the rest on hold after the latest economic crisis hit in August.
