(The Russian cousin of Little Johnny)
In Russian culture, “Vovochka” jokes are the local equivalent of “Little Johnny jokes.” The name Vova (short for Vladimir) carries a satirical undertone — originally poking fun at Lenin, later echoing satire about Putin.
Like Little Johnny, Little Vova is a cheeky schoolboy who always surprises adults with his blunt honesty. But his punchlines often reveal the gap between propaganda and reality, turning childhood innocence into biting social commentary.
These jokes are more than humor — they are snapshots of history, showing how wit helped people laugh at contradictions in Soviet life.
