good one...

What about:

Imagine that each leader of the United Soviet Socialist Republic finds himself on a train in the middle of nowhere, when suddenly the tracks have come to an end. What instructions would he give to his entourage?

Lenin: Go infuse the peasants with revolutionary spirit and organize them to build new rails to carry our train forward!

Stalin: Round up the peasants, lay down their bodies before the train and we shall ride over them.

Khrushchev: Go out, tear up the tracks from behind the train, set them down in front and we shall continue our journey.

Brezhnev: Pull all the curtains in the carriage, rock back and forth and make clicking noises.

Gorbachev: We have glasnost now. Run outside and shout at the top of your lungs: "There are no rails!"

Yeltsin: Give the tracks, the train, and the passengers back to their original homelands!


Which Russian leader would you be? ;-))
