Looking at the names of humorists of the USSR, we recognize each of them. This is not surprising, because every evening our parents sat down at the TV screen in the evening and watched these wonderful performances. Jokes were remembered for a long time, passed from mouth to mouth, until now everyone knows the names of these artists. And this suggests that they made the Soviet stage really unusual and original. Comedians of the USSR left an indelible mark on the history of the era of socialism.
In the USSR, there was humor, both legal and illegal. In favor in those days were the satirical magazine "Crocodile" and last page"Literary Gazette". On the stage for a long time the duet of Tarapunka and Shtepsel shone, as well as great Arkady Raikin. The newsreel "Wick" reigned on the screen, and later - the TV show "Around Laughter". However, far from everything could be said from the screen ...
Censorship did not allow any thought, except for the party, so that in Soviet society flourished specific genre oral folk and creativity - a political anecdote. Even in the kitchens, these jokes were told in whispers, and only to the most reliable people.
Still would! After all, if about such a "liberty" Soviet man recognized by the "competent authorities", punishment could be inevitable. For an indefatigable sense of humor, they could be expelled from the university, turned away from work, and certainly deprived of a party card ...
And yet they told jokes. For every absurdity in political life country people reacted immediately, aptly and cheerfully. For example, this is what it looked like soviet history oral folk art times of the USSR:
1917-1924
In Leningrad near the winter are shooting a film about October revolution. The Bolsheviks are advancing, the junkers are firing back. From the staring crowd shout:
Dear ones! Hold on to the last!
Dzerzhinsky calls Lenin:
- Vladimir Ilyich, when to shoot - before or after dinner?
- Definitely before lunch! And give lunches to children - children
the workers are starving!
F. E. Dzerzhinsky and Lenin.
The Americans, after a fair bargain, bought the Mausoleum from the USSR and put it on the roof of a skyscraper.
Lenin woke up, looked down and said:
- That's how I imagined everything!
1924-1953
Stalin makes a report. Suddenly, someone sneezed in the hall.
- Who sneezed? (silence.)
- First row, get up. Shoot! (Stormy applause.)
- Who sneezed? (silence.)
- Second row, get up. Shoot! (stormy ovation from the whole hall, everyone stands up, exclamations: “Glory to the great Stalin!)
- Who sneezed?
- I! I sneezed (sobs).
- Be healthy, comrade!
Archaeologists have unearthed a Stone Age cave with a slogan above the entrance: « Long live the slave system - the bright future of all mankind! ».
Felix Dzerzhinsky and Joseph Stalin.
One old Bolshevik to another:
No, dear, you and I will not live to see communism, but children ...
Pity the kids!
1937 Two judges meet in the courthouse.
“What are you smiling at?” one asks the other.
- Now I heard such an anecdote, you will die of laughter ...
- Tell me, - asks the second judge.
- Not! I can’t, I myself just gave 10 years for him ...
Joseph Stalin and Lavrenty Beria.
Who is in this cell?
- Those who told political jokes!
- And in this one?
- Those who listened to them!
Alexander the Great, Caesar and Napoleon, as guests of honor, are watching the parade of troops on Red Square.
If I had Soviet tanks, - says Alexander, - I would be invincible!
If I had Soviet planes, - says Caesar, - I would conquer the whole world!
If I had the newspaper Pravda, says Napoleon, the world would still not know about Waterloo!
1953-1964
Grandma, was Lenin good?
Good, granddaughter, good.
Grandma, was Stalin bad?
Bad, granddaughter, bad.
Grandmother, what about Khrushchev?
When he dies, then we'll know.
A man is late for a party meeting, he comes, and there everyone is in freckles. He sits down and asks his neighbor:
Why does everyone have freckles? Has the ruling come out?
- No, it's some kind of non-partisan fan pooped.
There are two issues on the agenda of the collective-farm party meeting: the construction of a barn and the construction of communism.
Due to the lack of boards, we immediately moved on to the second question.
Khrushchev, after his dismissal, was offered to head the cancer center.
“I don’t understand any of this,” he said.
But you were in charge agriculture- and there was no bread!
After the death of Khrushchev, he went to heaven.
I met Marx, Lenin and Stalin there.
All of them, like one, have the “TK” brand on their foreheads.
Khrushchev looked in the mirror - the same thing. Suitable for God
- Father! And what is this mark on Marx's forehead?
- TK, - answers God, - it means that he is a theoretician of communism.
What about Lenin then?
- Lenin means the creator of communism.
- Well, then who is Stalin?
Stalin is the tyrant of communism.
- Well, what do I have on my forehead then? Who am I?!
- And you - yap corn!
In 1965, the inhabitants of Odessa turned to the Central Committee with a request to return Khrushchev: ten years without bread is better than a year without jokes.
1964-1982
What is the difference between Pravda and Izvestia?

Brezhnev says goodbye at the airport to one of the US politicians. They hug and kiss for a long time. Finally, the politician gets on the plane and flies away. Brezhnev is crying. Suslov approaches him:
- Well, Leonid Ilyich, stop it. After all, as a politician, he means nothing.
- As a politician, he does not mean anything, but how he kisses!

Brezhnev arrived at the Kremlin on the first day of Easter. Ustinov meets him:
Brezhnev nodded and moved on. Towards Chernenko and sycophantly smiling:
- Christ is risen, Leonid Ilyich!
- Thank you comrade, I have already reported.
Dear Leonid Ilyich, on behalf of the people and leadership of Libya, I would like to thank you for the supply of surface-to-air missiles for the needs of our army. Could you also supply us with surface-to-air missiles next time?
Once Brezhnev gathered the cosmonauts, he says:
- Comrades, it turns out that the Americans flew to the moon! So here it is! My comrades and I conferred here and decided that you would fly to the Sun!
- So Leonid Ilyich, it's very hot there, the temperatures are high, we'll burn down after all!
- Do you think there are fools in the Central Committee? Fly at night!
Brezhnev: “Comrade Gromyko has completely fallen into childhood.
Yesterday he took a rubber donkey from my table and still hasn't given it back!
Brezhnev, speaking on the radio, says:
- I was recently informed (pause) that everyone thinks (pause) that a scarecrow is driving in a car instead of me ...
So I officially declare (pause) that instead of a stuffed animal, I drive in a car.
Is it true that Brezhnev is going to be awarded the title of Generalissimo?
- That's for sure. And if he manages to pronounce this word, then they will give him a people's artist.
Under Lenin, it was like being in a tunnel: darkness all around, light ahead. Under Stalin, it's like in a bus: one is driving, half is sitting, the rest are shaking. Under Khrushchev, it's like in a circus: one speaks, everyone laughs. Under Brezhnev - like in the movies: everyone is waiting for the end of the session.
Andropov is sitting at the bedside of the dying Brezhnev. Leonid Ilyich asks:
- Yura, that's for whom people will go after I die?
“Follow me,” Andropov answers.
- But if the people do not want to follow you?
- Then he will follow you, Leonid Ilyich ...
1982-1984
Brezhnev died. The Politburo is discussing a new candidate for the post of the great leader of all peoples. Andropov's candidacy is proposed. Enter Andropov. With an automatic.
- Hands up. Drop one. Unanimously.
Have you heard the news? Andropov broke his arm.
- To whom?
- Yury Vladimirovich, to you the Polish ambassador.
- Enter.
Question to Armenian radio:
- What is Andropov fighting for?
- For peace and state security throughout the world!
Comrade, believe! She will pass
The so-called publicity
And then the state security,
Remember our names...
