This happened in the USSR in 1980´s...:

Mr. Ivanov is reading the morning newspaper at home. He spots an ad in which the KGB is looking for new employees. Mr. Ivanov has always dreamed of being a spy and decides to apply.

At the KGB headquarters he fills in the necessary papers and is then called for a job interview. Major Kuznetzov shakes mr. Ivanov hand and asks him to take a seat.
- Well, mr. Ivanov, I´ll make you a couple of simple questions to find out if you are a kind of man we are looking for.......hmmmm...first tell me who is the author of "Das Kapital"?

When mr. Ivanov is just about to answer sergeant Petrov enters the room.
- Comrade major, excuse me, but there is a phone call for you.

Major is a little annoyed about the disturbance but leaves the room. As he goes he gives the sergeant an order.
- Sergeant, you can continue from now on. Ask this man who wrote "Das Kapital"!

The phone call is a long one. When major finally comes back after about 20 minutes he sees the following sight in his room:
Sergeant Petrov stands in the middle of the blood splatterd room sweatty, without a shirt and with swollen fists.
Mr. Ivanov sits in the corner of the room with most of his teeths missing, broken fingers, covered in blood and electric wires attached to his private parts. Major is utterly shocked.
- What the h***!

Sergeant Petrov salutes the major and shouts:
- comrade major, he confessed. He wrote the "Das Kapital"!
