Radio Yerevan was asked: "Is it true that there is freedom of speech in the USSR, just like in the USA?"

Radio Yerevan answered: "In principle, yes. In the USA, you can stand in front of the White House and yell, "Down with Reagan!", and you will not be punished. Equally, you can also stand in the Red Square in Moscow and yell, "Down with Reagan!", and you will not be punished."

Q: Why is our government not in a hurry to land our men on the moon?
A: What if they refuse to return?
