“The year 1990 was particularly tough when it came to trying to score something edible. I remember one particular joke from that period. Black humor has always been one of Russia’s main psychological coping mechanisms. A man walks into a food store, goes to the meat counter, and he sees that it is completely empty. So he asks the butcher: ‘Don’t you have any fish?’ And the butcher answers: ‘No, here is where we don’t have any meat. Fish is what they don’t have over at the seafood counter.’”
