There is a Russian joke:

A man was fishing and catches a fish. The fish says, Let me go and I'll grant you a wish.

The man says, Can you tell me where Chechenya is?

The fish says, I don't know. That's a tough one. Do you have any other wish?

The man says, Well, can you make my wife beautiful?

The fish says, Hmm, do you have a map? Let's see if we can find Chechenya.
