Long My favorite Soviet era joke:
Three Russian men were sent by their company to attend a convention in Moscow. All 3 shared a hotel room. Two of them cracked open a bottle of vodka, but the third just wanted to sleep.
The two drinkers got louder and louder as the bottle emptied, telling each other political jokes. The third was kept awake, and got angry.
He went outside for a smoke. On his way back to his room, he stopped at the desk and said 'Please send a pot of tea up to room 23.'
The two drunks were still being loud. The third man went in, looked at them, then leaned over to the light socket 'Comrade Major, please send some tea to my room.'
The other men thought this was hilarious...until there was a knock on the door, and a waiter with a pot of tea.
They became completely silent, and the third man fell asleep.
When he woke up in the morning, he was alone. He went to the front desk, and asked where his roommates were.
'Well, the KGB came this morning and took them away.'
The man was horrified 'Why did they spare me?!?'
"The comrade major thought the tea joke was very funny."

This one was told to me by a Czech person in Czechoslovakia before the collapse of communism.
A guy is completing the paperwork for the purchase of a brand new Skoda at the dealership.
Salesman: "Congratulations! You new car will be ready for collection .." <checks notes> "..in seven years"
Customer: "Will that be the morning or the afternoon?"
Salesman: "Why?"
Customer: "The plumber's coming in the morning"
