Stuck in the war in Ukraine, desperate Putin summons Stalin's spirit, "Oh, the great leader of Soviet peoples, please help me!"
Stalin's ghost appears. Putin asks, "Comrade Stalin, how do I win the war with Ukraine?"
"The war with whom?" shocked Stalin asks.
"Ukraine! Don't you get briefings where you are? Too many Nazis there, I had to go in!"
Stalin takes a long pipe puff, thinking. "So, Ukraine? First, round up and shoot all dissidents. Second, paint the Kremlin's walls blue."
"Why blue?" Putin asks.
"A-ha! I knew you wouldn't question the first part!" Stalin said triumphantly and disappeared.

When True Love Never Questions Your Soul
“And she’s going to learn that this life will hit you, hard, in the face, wait for you to get back up, just so it can kick you in the stomach but getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.” — Sarah Kay’s Poem — If I Should Have a Daughter

I think I should move to Russia purely for the humour 😂
You are the mistress of political wit, Lana. Just hope that there are cracks in the blue which will allow others to see red.
Clever, but so sad. Very well wrought, Lana!
You're so good at these and I feel I have learned so much about Russian politics and humor - why Blue indeed! Crazy times. Well done Lana.
That was both funny and scary at the same time. Loved your drabble!
Another incomparable Drabble! I feel like I'm learning a lot about Russia humour too 🤣
Ha ha ha, loved the joke and what a great drabble. Loved the cartoon of uncle Joe too. Such tragedies and yet still we acknowledge the comfort of humour
Ha, another proverb that flows over with truth.
The sardonic truth may oft' be found in irony most profound.......
Wow, perfectly portrayed by Stalin's remark! Great job, Lana!! And of course, what IS happening in Ukraine (and GAZA) since all the other fiascos are taking center stage. 😭
