I've seen it.  That doesn't mean I understand the jokes.

I remember one political cartoon.  One side of a chessboard was all
lined up orderly; the other side was squabbling.  One from the unruly
side goes up to the other and says, "U vas yeschyo korol' s korolevoy?
 A u nas uzhe yest' parliament."  (You still have a king and queen? 
We have a parliament.)
