The politburo recently commissioned an artist to paint a work
titled "Lenin in Zurich" to commemorate Lenin's years of exile.

A few weeks pass, and the artist unveils his painting in the Kremlin.
In lovingly faithful detail it shows Nadezhda Konstantinovna, Lenin's
wife, in bed with Trotsky.

"Where's Lenin?" demand the members of politburo.

"Lenin's in Zurich," says the artist.
