The whole war in Ukraine thing brought many near-forgotten jokes about Russians back to the surface. For example, there's an old Polish joke (I think it's Polish, but it might also exist in other post soviet bloc states) that the characteristics of a special soviet device for shining light in an ass are that it fails to shine and doesn't fit in an ass.

I remember hearing it back in the early 2000s when post-soviet equipment was still being replaced and many people still had some amazing soviet devices such as a washing machine that is worse than washing clothes in a stream and additionally eats half of them, then I haven't heard it for some 20 years and now people are back to throwing it around every time another news of hilarious Russian equipment failures reaches the Internet.
