Quote of the Day: Yakov Smirnoff

In Russia we only had two TV channels. Channel One was propaganda. Channel Two consisted of a KGB officer telling you: Turn back at once to Channel One.

Many people are surprised to hear that we have comedians in Russia, but they are there. They are dead, but they are there.

Russian men have a saying: “Women are like buses…” That’s it.

Many people are surprised to hear that we have comedians in Russia, but they are there. They are dead, but they are there.
