Post away, as many people have said that only negative things about Russia are posted.

They have one or two good jokes...

What do you call one Ukrainian? --A partisan. What do you call two Ukrainians? --A partisan cell. What do you call three Ukrainians? --A partisan cell with a traitor in their midst.

A Soviet newspaper reports: "Last night the [Chernobyl] Nuclear Powerstation fulfilled the Five Year Plan of heat energy generation in 4 microseconds."

And then they had "alternative" joles...

Two crocodiles were flying. One was green, the other was going to Africa, too. The first one asks, "How much does a pound of fried nails cost?" The second one replies, "What shoes? I graduated long ago" [ba-dum-tish!]

*edit* One more!


A Chukcha sits on the shore of the Bering Strait. An American submarine surfaces. The American captain opens the hatch and asks: "Which way is Alaska?" The Chukcha points his finger: "That way!" "Thanks!" says the American, shouts "South-South-East, bearing 159.5 degrees!" down the hatch and the submarine submerges. Ten minutes later a Soviet submarine emerges. The Russian captain opens the hatch and asks the Chukcha: "Where did the American submarine go?" The Chukcha replies: "South-South-East bearing 159.5 degrees!" "Don't be a smart-ass," says the captain, "just point with your finger!"

I seriously think the US Navy is a better Navy today, due to the Russians trying to be better than we are or were.

They did enjoy a little success with the special alloy hull that allowed the Russians to go deeper and faster. No advantage if you want to stand and fight of course lol

Without the underwater listening devices we have ... they might have won the cold war.

Somehow i doubt that was the tipping point of Cold War.

Too true. Russian subs are so efficient that they often sink themselves, eliminating the need for submarine warfare altogether.

It is more than questionable if it was such a 'heroic' feat or act.
