Ronald Reagan had the best 'in soviet Russia' jokes.
Here is one paraphrased from memory:
A man in Moscow goes to the car dealership to buy a new car. After everything is arranged, the dealer tells comrade that his car will be delivered in 9 months. The man asks, in the morning, or the afternoon?
Why do you care comrade? It's 9 months from now. Well, the man says, the plumber is coming in the morning.
Also Reagan.
Boris and Ivan are chatting and Ivan says that one day he wants to go to America.
Boris sneers. "Anything they have in America we have in Russia. They have cities and we have cities. Both got mountains and beaches and farms. No difference."
"In America you have freedom! I can stand in front of the White House and scream that Ronald Reagan is a big dummy and no one will arrest me."
"You can do that here. Go stand in front of the Kremlin and scream Ronald Reagan is a big dummy. No one will lift a finger."
