    My father used to tell jokes about the GDR and Soviet Union when I was a kid. I was in kindergarten when the Berlin wall fell. Nowadays you can tell almost the same jokes about the US…

    Question for the radio station Eriwan: Could the catastrophe of Chernobyl have been avoided? Answer: Principally yes, if only Sweden hadn’t spilled the beans.

    Question for the radio station Eriwan: Is there censorship in the Soviet Union? Answer: Principally no, but unfortunately we are unable to further elaborate.

    Question for the radio station Eriwan: How does the soviet government act in a crisis? Answer: We do not provide information regarding the state of our Agriculture sector.

    Question for the radio station Eriwan: Is it difficult to go to the moon? Answer: Principally no, but how do we convince our cosmonauts to come back again?

    Looking forward to reusing them for the US.

      It’s Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. In Russian those jokes were “Armenian radio is asked”
