	Journal of Folklore Research - Book Notes
		Emil Draitser teaches Russian at Hunter College in New York, lectures on humor in public speaking, and is the author of five other books on Russian humor.
		Draitser argues that blame is shifted on women collectively for social ills and conditions that place women in a no-win situation, left by men who value a male-centered culture and not only experience "dominance anxiety" (7), but are also often powerless to take charge of their destinies either in public or private life.
		Humor is a means of both asserting male control and distancing oneself from painful, sensitive realities---such as impotence and female infidelity---as they wound the male ego.

		Humor itself is a serious subject of inquiry in cultural studies and similar books have been published in the past ten years on the culture of political humor in Nazi Germany, Communist Rumania, ancient Rome and other equally unlikely places.

		To deal successfully with the new Russia that is gradually emerging from the rubble of totalitarianism, we must know as much as we can about the world individual Russians inhabit, his or her attitudes and customs, beliefs, and idiosyncrasies, and the inter-and intragroup relationships of this complex society.
		Humor expresses serious anxieties in lighter terms; it is this capacity to relieve frustration that makes laughter so attractive.
		Jokes that Russians exchange with each other are most often called anekdoty, from the Greek anekdota, meaning "unpublished things." The Russians' resort to humor in daily life when other avenues of expression are closed has long been begging for exploration and interpretation.

	Russian Humor
		One of the most common targets of Russian political jokes during the Soviet regime was the Jew, often portrayed as a character named Rabinowich (considered to be an exclusively Jewish last name in Russia).
		In addition to being blamed for any and all difficulties faced by Russians as a whole, Jews were caught between opposing sides in major political debates as well.
		However, most Americans do not find them as funny as the average Russian (most likely because American men are much less frequently forced to endure their mother-in-law's wrath in her own house).
