  • Russians were quite cynical of their government. There was a Russian joke about it.
    "A Russian guy walks onto the train to get to work and sees his friend reading Pravda. But he is confused when he notices that his friend isr eading it upside down. 'Why are you reading it upside down?' He asks his friend.
    'To make more sense out of it.'
    "You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier
