migmitApologies in advance. "Zhivoj gvozd'" is a Russian opposition podcast, replacing "Echo of Moscow" radio, shut down by Putin. One host said this in the recent stream, with the head of "gvozd'", Alexei Venediktov, present and approving:
"My favorite joke is this: how is a train car full of cement similar to a car full of dead jewish babies? You can't unload the first one with a pitchfork!"
(yes, she said "similar" instead of "different")
Proof: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LJjwp-Bv9w4&t=5003s
Update: both Venediktov himself and that host apologized (her apology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJbXhpIUrvw; his apology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzaEOITw2Kw). Venediktov pretended he didn't hear her joke very well, which is obviously bullshit. She was suspended for two months, and there is a report that she is not going to come back, since "she now understands why people were persecuted in Soviet Union for telling a joke".
