From the birth of the Soviet Union to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, many bitter and sharp political jokes, these jokes are not so much jokes, but history, and even fables, reflecting the political, economic, and cultural shortcomings of the Soviet Union at that time.
At that time, Nixon was young and vigorous, and Khrushchev was a straight-hearted and fiery temper. As soon as the heads of state of the two superpowers in different camps met, there was a fierce debate over whether the socialist system was better or the capitalist system was more advanced.
In the end, Nixon came up with a good idea: either we open the borders between East and West Germany and let the people choose to live in **.
As soon as Khrushchev heard this, he immediately turned off the fire and did not say a word.
In 1959, the American National Exposition in Moscow opened, and Nixon, then the deputy head of the United States, and Nikita Khrushchev, secretary of the CPSU, attended the opening ceremony together.
The two men struck up a conversation at the kitchen booth of an American-style villa, and Nixon took the trouble to proudly introduce Khrushchev to the sleek and innovative kitchen equipment of the United States, saying that any American could afford to live in a house equipped with such a kitchen.
Khrushchev said disdainfully: "Do you think that ** people will be stunned by this exhibition, but the fact is that all newly built ** houses will have this kind of equipment." In the United States, you need money to get this house, but in our case, you just have to be born a citizen of the USSR. If American citizens don't have money, they only have the right to sleep on the sidewalk!”
Nixon was speechless for a moment, unable to answer.
The reason why Khrushchev was full of confidence and called out the housing problem in the United States was because he solved the problem that many people had no houses to live in at that time. At that time, the Soviet Union and even the socialist countries of Eastern Europe had just gone through World War II, and a large number of civilians lost their homes in the war, and had to live in shacks, basements, and dilapidated houses, and the living conditions were very bad.
Khrushchev promptly launched the "Khrushchev Building", which was calculated according to the living standard of 9 square meters per person, and seven or eight families shared kitchens and bathrooms. Although the Khrushchev building is not beautiful, because it is free of charge by the state, it has solved the housing problem of the common people quickly and economically, and the people who love the socialist camp are welcome. At that time, there were many such buildings in China, but it was not the Khrushchev Building, but the Tube Building.
After a short pause, Nixon, who had been countered to the army, continued to have a heated debate with Khrushchev, which was the famous "kitchen debate" between the United States and the Soviet Union in history. The aforementioned debate over "who is better or worse in socialism or capitalism" also takes place in the "kitchen debate". During the debate, because the issues debated by the two sides were too intense, it once developed to the point of pulling each other's collars, and there was almost no fighting.
After some verbal arguments, Khrushchev made a bet with Nixon, and Khrushchev said: "I can guarantee that in the future your grandson will live under the banner of communism!"Nixon-for-tat: "I don't know if my grandson will live under the banner of communism, but I know that your son will definitely live under the banner of capitalism!"”
Nixon was a prophecy and won a big victory. In 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed, Khrushchev's son, Sergei Khrushchev, emigrated to the United States and became an American citizen eight years later.
It is a pity that although Nixon lived to 1994, Khrushchev did not live to this day, and went to meet Marx in 1971, so he could not confront him face to face.
It is said that Gorbachev and Margaret Thatcher held an international conference together in Geneva, during the meeting, the two eyebrows exchanged eyebrows, and the night before the meeting, the two finally slept together.
At the end of the day, Gorbachev said with great pride and satisfaction that today socialism has finally triumphed over capitalism. Margaret Thatcher looked at him with disdain and sneered that the climax of capitalism had just arrived, and socialism had already collapsed. Gorbachev was immediately red-faced and speechless.
Soon after this happened, the Soviet Union collapsed.
Brezhnev was particularly fond of medals, and he won various medals, including 38 medals from the Soviet Union, such as the Order of Lenin, the Order of the Red Banner, the Order of the Red Star, and the Medal for Clearing the Wasteland, and 128 medals from foreign countries such as Bulgaria, Hungary, Vietnam, East Germany, Cuba, Peru, and other international organizations.
To be recognized by so many domestic and international organizations, Brezhnev must be a genius all-rounder, a very powerful character, right?Does it mean that where to fight, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away?On the contrary, he is a veritable big straw bag, and he always says that I will think about it and study it when it comes to the instructions of his subordinates. This is not because he is modest and cautious, but because he has a serious lack of knowledge to give a clear answer in person. Without a script, he would not have been able to utter a single coherent sentence.
However, the bottomless praise and the endless praises made Brezhnev think that he was gifted, that it was Peter the Great who reappeared, and that his character of great joy was more and more inflated, resisting the United States, besieging China, invading Afghanistan, and pointing fingers at the socialist brother, and half of the world was stirred up by him.
There are many folk jokes about the Order of Brezhnev, the most typical of which are the following three.
The first is: what would have happened if the crocodile had eaten Brezhnev?The answer is that the crocodile will wear a medal for a week.
The second is: last night there was a ** in Moscow, but scholars are skeptical about it, because Moscow is in the non-** zone. In the end, after research, it was found that it was indeed not **, but Comrade Brezhnev's clothes with medals, which fell to the ground.
The third is: recently Brezhnev had to have surgery to expand his chest, why?Because his chest is not enough to hang a medal.
