How Russians Do April Fools: Deadpan Chaos & Rozigrish Explained
April 1st in Russia hits different. Not because they're funnier... but because the holiday survived the Soviet Union in secret kitchens and exploded into legendary deadpan pranks after.

Discover rozigrish — the elaborate, sincere Russian prank that feels like art. Plus, how KVN comedy competitions shaped an entire generation's dry, pressure-tested humor.
Next time you see a super dry, insanely delivered Russian April Fools joke... that's the point.
