Modern? Russia
This blog does have a prohibition on political topics. But I'm going to classify this tidbit under the "Russia" category. And since Russia makes an appearance in the subject line of the blog. I deem this post acceptable.

Stalin's ghost appears to Putin in a dream, and Putin asks for him help running the country. Stalin says, "Round up and shoot all the democrats, and then paint the inside of the Kremlin blue." "Why blue?" Putin asks. "Ha!" says Stalin. "I knew you wouldn't ask me about the first part."
That's Putin for you.
