My favorite Soviet joke about censorship and propaganda, mildly related:
After the Cold War ends, a Russian is sitting with an American in a pub in America, and they're chatting. The topic of propaganda comes up, and they both agree that Soviet propaganda was insane. Then the Russian says he thinks American propaganda is even worse, and much more effective, though.
The American is confused. "What? We don't have propaganda here!"
Ronald Reagan had a joke about the Soviet Union, that they too had a "free speech" right to criticize the US President.
