For people who didn’t watch way too many Zizek talks:
Zizek used this joke to illustrate a point. As it goes, I completely forgot the point, but memorized the joke. Probably because I’m a pervert. Here goes:
In an exhibition in Moscow, there’s a painting with the title “Lenin in Warsaw” depicting a woman who looks suspiciously like Nadezhda Krupskaya, Lenin’s wife, screwing what appears to be a student. A confused visitor asks the guide standing beneath the painting: “But where’s Lenin?” The guide, of course, answers: “Lenin is in Warsaw.”
… in Warsaw.
