Comparative ethnography

Typical members of intelligentsia of the three Slavic countries of the former Soviet Union:

Jews:


(more of his pictures)

 Russians:


(more)

Byelorussians:



Ukrainians:




Also, an old joke:
  • What do you call one Russian? A drunk. What do you call two Russians? A fight. What do you call three Russians? The junior sub-committee of the 3rd Party Secretariat of the 8th District.
  • What do you call one Jew? A financial center. What do you call two Jews? The World Chess Championship. What do you call three Jews? Native Russian Folk Instrument Ensemble.
  • What do you call one Ukrainian? A partisan [a guerilla fighter]. What do you call two Ukrainians? A partisan cell. What do you call three Ukrainians? A partisan cell with a traitor in their midst.
