In connection with this, I was reminded of an old Soviet anecdote.

An old Russian aristocrat, who is a granddaughter of a Decembrist*, is hearing a big fuss outside and sends her maid to find out what’s going on. The maid comes back and exclaims with excitement:

“The revolution has begun, Madam!”

“The revolution!” joyously replies the lady, “how absolutely delightful! My sweet Grandpa was also a revolutionary! What do they want exactly?”

“They want no rich, Madam,” the maid says.

“Oh,” the lady responds hesitantly, “How very weird... My Grandpa wanted no poor...”
