Mishka and his artist friends are spending the night at an inn not far from Moscow. During dinner, they start talking about how much they hate the regime and how the Soviet system is failing.
Mishka, sensing the opportunity for a good prank, then sneaks off to the kitchen and pays one of the waiters to bring a cup of tea to the table in exactly five minutes. He then gets back to the table and says ”hey guys, lets tone down this discussion, the regime is always listening.”
His friends berate him for being such a coward, whereupon Mishka, to prove his point, leans close to an electrical socket and says ”Comrade Major, could you please bring me a cup of tea.” When the waiter promptly arrives with the tea, everyone laughs at the prank.
Later that night, when they have all gone to bed, the KGB arrives, arresting everyone in the group except for Mishka.
”Why are you letting me go, when you are taking all the others?” Mishka asks an officer, who then replies ”Comrade Major liked your joke.”
