Three men in one of Stalin's gulags finish a shift and start talking while they have their soup.

"Just think", says the first. "Two years ago I was sentenced to ten years here because I criticised Comrade Ivanov."

"You're lucky", says the second. "Last year I was sentenced to twenty years here because I supported Comrade Ivanov."

"You should both thank your lucky stars", says the third. "I am Comrade Ivanov."
