For many years, the border between Poland and Russia was volatile. Due to a political shift, a farmer found that he was no longer a Russian, but had become a Pole.

Thrilled, he told his wife, "Thank God ! No more of those freezing Russian winters."

A Russian athlete won an Olympic medal for throwing the hammer. A TV announcer told him no one had ever before thrown one that far.

The athlete replied, "Get me a sickle, and I'll throw the thing even further."

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse in the new Russia, now, they've just run out of shortages.

Poor old Yeltsin isn't nearly as popular as he was just a few years ago. I understand a magazine is running a contest for the funniest "Boris" joke.

First prize is twenty years.

Two Russians meet on the street corner. One spat.

The other said, "Yuri, please, let's not talk politics today."

With the spirit of perestroika and glasnost, Egypt sent a mummy to Russia as a gift. The Egyptians said they were sorry, but they didn't know how old it was.

Several weeks later, a Russian rep called the Egyptian curator and said they now knew the mummy's exact age.

Amazed, the Egyptian asked, "How did you find out ? All of our tests were inconclusive."

"Easy." the Russian replied. "The mummy confessed."
