Old Soviet joke - Children in the USSR Back in Soviet Russia, little Misha is being read to by his babysitter. She reads: 'In the USSR, kindegardens are filled with wonderful toys.' Misha listens with bright eyes. 'In the USSR, every child has a brand new bicycle.' Little Misha opens his eyes even wider. 'In the USSR, every child drinks hot cocoa for breakfast.' Little Misha starts crying his eyes out, bawling: 'I want to go to the USSR!'
