The more accurate version (possibly) of the story is that during Lend Lease the Russians provided a list of everything they would need from the US in order to defeat the Germans. As they were feeling a little put out at having to request help in the first place, they tried to project a sense of superiority during the process. So in the list of sundry items they requested a supply of condoms, size large. The US obliged, but they wrote on the packages "condoms; Russian size large, US size medium"

And I heard it as a joke that Gorbachev called up Reagan and said we have a national emegency, there is a condom shortage, can you help us out?

I like to think of Old Town Road as one of the most anti-establishment songs of all time. Hear me out- 

Young black man makes country song based on things he studied. Song catches serious heat, starts charting on the country 100. Country gets its panties in a wad and kicks the song off, saying it's not country. Billy Ray Cyrus, in possibly the biggest berkeley you i've seen in a while, hops on the track for a remix, outpacing the original by an order of magnitude, and making it a bonafide country hit in the process. The only way you were getting more country than that was if Merle Haggard was on it. So- we have a black guy and Billy Ray hitting #1, and staying there- and then the guy comes out as gay. No one on this earth would have ever picked a gay black man to hit #1 in country, let alone AT ALL. Pretty awesome for a dude that bought the beat online, if you ask me.

That's the most punk rock thing I've heard of in a while.
