A Cuban friend told me that when they got a ¨new¨ Russian car during
Soviet times, the first place you took it was to your mechanic. The
reason was to tighten every bolt in the car to make sure the doors
did not fall off or the engine turn upside down.

The joke in USSR Russia was; "We pretend to work and the commie
government pretends to pay us:)

We are getting a taste of that in the US right now.

A friend of mine who grew up in Moscow tells of the claim of a proponent
of one of the USSR's economic plans. The claim was that "Soon every
Soviet citizen would be able to have their own airplane".  When a
doubter asked the logical question "Just why would someone living in the
USSR need their own airplane?", the response was ... "Well lets say you
heard that meat was available in Leningrad, you could fly to Leningrad
to buy meat".

"What a country!"
