    what Soviet Russia joke?

    Do you mean the joke that was its government?

      Stems from an 80s comedian Yakov Smirnov…

      One of his classics:

      “American advertising is so confusing! ‘We stand behind our furniture!’ I come from Soviet Russia, I don’t want anyone standing behind my furniture!”

        Or “in Soviet Russia, television watches YOU.”

        I think that’s one of his.
