Political Humor under Stalin - An Anthology of Unofficial Jokes and Anecdotes
David Brandenberger
Political Humor Under Stalin is an anthology of jokes, wisecracks, and satire from the Soviet 1930s and '40s that provides a glimpse of everyday dissembling and dissent in one of the modern world's most repressive societies. More than merely a joke book, it offers no less than a folkloric counter-narrative to the "official" history of the USSR, as well as a ground-breaking discussion of the culture of joke-telling under Stalin.
