Reading the actual article reminds me of the old soviet joke:
Q: Is it true that Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov from Moscow won a car in a lottery?
A: In principle yes, but:
1). it wasn't Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov but Aleksander Aleksandrovich Aleksandrov;
2). he is not from Moscow but from Odessa;
3). it was not a car but a bicycle;
4). he didn't win it, but it was stolen from him.
Genius. Tell us a couple more old soviet jokes! It might be against the HN rules but maybe they will let it slide given the fascination for the Soviet Union here.
In Romania, a pig gave birth to two piglets. The farmer was disappointed and worried (since 2 is a very low number; a good number from a farmer's perspective would be between 8 and 12). So, he reported to his superior that there were 4 piglets. This superior also thought the number was not good enough, so he reported 6 to his superior. That person then reported 8 to his superior, and finally, the dictator Ceaușescu received the final number as 10. He decided that 2 of them would be exported, and the remaining 8 would be used to feed the people.
