This story offers an excellent opportunity to recycle a Soviet-era joke.
Stalin and Khrushchev are taking a tour of their Eastern European satellites in Stalin’s special train.
Khrushchev [who is the clueless unworldly peasant in all jokes of this genre]: “I can’t keep track of these damn countries. Where are we now?”
Stalin: “What time is it?”
Khrushchev [looking at watch]: “Ten o’clock.”
Stalin: “Well, then, this must be Czechoslovakia.”
[Somewhat later] Khrushchev: “I’m lost again. What country are we in now?”
Stalin: “What time is it?”
Khrushchev [looking at watch]: “Two thirty.”
Stalin: “Well, then, this must be Hungary.”
[Somewhat later] Khrushchev: “Sorry, I’m lost yet again. What country are we in now?”
Stalin: “What time is it?”
Khrushchev [lifts wrist to look at watch]: “Hey! My watch! It’s gone!”
Stalin: “Ah, this must be Romania.”
