Joke Humor Satire

We enter life crying, spend our youth trying to figure out how to be cool, our adulthood pretending we know what we’re doing, and the rest of our time wondering where our knees went. It’s a strange ride. One minute you’re arguing with your parents about bedtime, the next you’re fantasizing about going to bed at 9 p.m. voluntarily. Growth. And somewhere in between, there’s traffic, taxes, group chats you can’t escape, online passwords you never remember, and existential dread you politely ignore with caffeine and cat videos. That’s the modern human experience. Of course, ...

The Russian humor of the 21st century is quite different from the middle of the 20th. Gone are the bread lines, the Communist party, and one-room dwellings in a communal house. No one is sent to the Gulag for making a joke. Even for jokes about Putin, even when they compare him to a Czar. So the Russian people’s humor adapts. It has become more philosophical on the one hand or moved into the family and business arenas on the other. The jokers can be rich but are mostly poor. They can be of average intelligence but are mostly wise. They may have enemies but rise above the hatred. They are ...
