Im currently reading Archipel Gulag from Alexander Solschenitzyn and that joke sounds quite familliar. The reality of the past century in Russia really proved optimists wrong. Devestating to read that book. It literally puts me on breaks to just sit and think. Sad that humans are capable of such cruelty.

Keep in mind that this book was written in USA

Actually, Solzhenitsyn was still residing in the USSR at the time of completion of the book.
