Collection of Stalin jokes

[E Wayles Browne]

SEELANGS readers may be interested in an extensive collection
of jokes and famous quotations about Stalin, compiled by
a folklorist in Estonia, Arvo Krikmann:

http://www.folklore.ee/~kriku/HUUMOR/STALIN_FIN.pdf

As he explains in his preface, he has
gathered his material from sources in five languages:
Russian, English, German, Finnish, and Estonian.
Most SEELANGS denizens know the first two, or the first
three of these; even those who do not know Estonian should
however look at the Estonian versions given, since many
of them contain punch lines in Russian (note: the Estonian
letter o with tilde renders the Russian vowel bl).
