I think my all-time favorite Russian headline read "Minister says "We don't have sex in the Soviet Union".
Her statement was in response to a question put to her as an official of the Soviet Health Ministry that asked "What is Russia doing about the AIDS epidemic?" during an international AIDS convention. She replied that there are no AIDS cases in the Soviet Union "because we do not have sex."
There was even a video clip of her saying it to the reporters,and showing other reporters howling with laughter. This was a couple of years before the USSR collapsed and disappeared before reforming in California.
