I can tell you a variation from Bulgaria (Soviet era joke as well).

In the newspapers there were news that Bulgaria sent 8000 personal computers to Japan. On the next day, there was a slight correction published:

1. It wasn’t 8000. But 8000000 2. It wasn’t computers, but jars of marmalade 3. They weren’t sent to Japan, but returned back by Japan
