/actual Russia jokes as told by émigré chess player.
There was some Soviet-era joke that said that the "unity of nations" represented by the Soviet Union was a Russian and a Ukrainian and a Chechen and a Georgian and a Kazakh (etc.) all getting together to walk down the street to beat up a Jew.
I was working in Moscow when John Shalikashvili was the Chairman of the JCS. The Russians were dumbfounded that we let a Georgian immigrant become the highest ranking person in our military. "Ever since Stalin, we won't give a Georgian that much power. Why would you?"
