This is a list on Wikipedia of apparently(!) some old Soviet-era political jokes...
Disclaimer: I didn't write any of them...
Other Disclaimer: As an aspiring future comedian (I know, "keep the day job!"), I would have liked to have written some of them!
Here's a sampling of a few "good ones" (well, in my opinion!) <g>:
>"A man was reported to have said: "Nikolay is a moron!" and was arrested by a policeman. "No, sir, I meant not our respected Emperor, but another Nikolay!" - "Don't try to trick me: if you say "moron", you are obviously referring to our tsar!"
[...]
>"A judge walks out of his chambers laughing his head off. A colleague approaches him and asks why he is laughing. "I just heard the funniest joke in the world!" "Well, go ahead, tell me!" says the other judge. "I can't – I just gave someone ten years for it!""
>"Five precepts of the Soviet intelligentsia (intellectuals):
o Don't think.
o If you think, then don't speak.
o If you think and speak, then don't write.
o If you think, speak and write, then don't sign.
o If you think, speak, write and sign, then don't be surprised."

PDS: Some good, ol' fashioned (well, Soviet-era, from the former Soviet Union!) humor here! <g>
And perhaps a Yakov Smirnoff patterned joke too:
"In Soviet Union... search engine finds YOU!"
(Wait a second, that might also be here in the United States, and several other countries too! <g>)
Opinion: It would be well worth it to revisit this page when writing for my future sitcom...
Also, I hope this post didn't offend anyone -- all Russians, just like all Americans -- are all good people! If anyone is offended for any reason, you have my sincere apologies!

Some say these Russian political jokes are all written by American, so these jokes apply to the U.S. as well. I’m neither Russian or American, I can’t tell it is true or not. But it sounds very interesting.
