The Dreaded Lubyanka

I’d only heard of this notorious building because of Archer‘s jokes, but it turns out the Russians have jokes about it, too:

Following the Bolshevik Revolution, the structure was seized by the government for the headquarters of the secret police, then called the Cheka. In Soviet Russian jokes, it was referred to as the tallest building in Moscow, since Siberia could be seen from its basement.
