A group of students are in line to take a history exam with a teacher who is widely known to accept bribes.
The first student approaches the teacher’s desk and hands him 1000 rubles:

– The teacher asks, "Ever heard of World War II?"
– The student replies, "I reckon so."
– "A."
The next student comes up and hands the teacher 500 rubles:
– "When was the World War II?"
– "Either 1939 or 1941, something like that."
– "A."
Finally, a broke student approaches the teacher:
– "When was the World War II?"
– "It started on September 1, 1939 and ended on May 2, 1945."
– "How many people in our country sacrificed their precious lives to save the world from fascism?"
– "20 million."
– "And what were their names?"
