Communist Russia was famous for furry hats, forced labour campsand the KGB so you might not think there were a lot of LOLs on offer.

But the CIA have proved us wrong with a selection of Soviet-era jokestingedwith vodka and despair, released as part of a document dump from their archives.

Honestly, some of these you realise that maybe the Trump/Brexit/World War 3 era isnt actually the worst time to be alive like this one about the fact that communist shops never had any food.

A man goes into a shop and asks, You dont have any meat? No, replies the sales lady, We dont have any fish. Its the store across the street that doesnt have any meat.

Its not clear why the jokes were compiled, or by whom but the documents, released in 2013, but available online now, offer a fascinating insight into a (thankfully) bygone era.
