Khrushchev, Stalin and Gorbachev are on a train.
All of a sudden the train comes to a halt. They get out of their carriage to see what's going on. As it turns out, the driver and all of the workers have gone on strike.
The three men confer with themselves as to what the course of action ought to be.
Khrushchev speaks first.
"I know." He says. "We'll raise their wages and put more money into stimulating the economy in the hope that they'll go back to work."
Stalin is unimpressed by this idea.
"I say we just shoot them all and drive the train ourselves."
The other two are unswayed. Gorbachev then says:
"I know, guys. Why don't we just get back in the carriage, close the blinds and pretend that the train's still going."
