After the Soviet Union collapsed, people thought I wasn't funny anymore.

Everybody laughs the same in every language because laughter is a universal connection.

I believe that laughter is a language of God and that we can all live happily ever laughter.

It's kind of bittersweet. The human spirit is not measured by the size of the act, but by the size of the heart.

After the Soviet Union collapsed, people thought I wasn't funny anymore.

In America, you assassinate president. In Soviet Russia, president assassinate you!

Many people are surprised to hear that we have comedians in Russia, but they are there. They are dead, but they are there.
