Since the election of Vladimir Putin as president, all jokes about Vovochka should be considered political.

Poruchik Rzhevsky

Poruchik (lieutenant) Rzhevsky is a fictional cavalry officer interacting with characters from the novel War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. In the aristocratic setting of high-society balls and 19th century
social sophistication, Rzhevsky, famous of brisk but not very smart
remarks, keeps ridiculing the decorum with his vulgarities. As it was
fashionable among the Russian nobility at the time to speak French,
Rzhevsky occasionally uses French expressions, of course with a heavy
Russian accent. The Poruchik himself (or rather, his name) became a
popular joke character after the 1962 release of the comedy/romance/adventure movie Hussar Ballad set in the context of the Patriotic War of 1812.

• Kniaz
  Obolenski asks Poruchik Rzhevsky: "Tell me, Poruchik, how come you're
  so good with the ladies? Tell me your secret!" / "It's quite simplement, Kniaz, quite simplement. I just come over and ask: 'Let's boink!'" / "But Poruchik, you can get slapped in the face like that!" / "Oui, some slap, but some boink!"

• Poruchik Rzhevsky asks his aide: "Stepan, there is a grand ball
  tonight. Have you got a new pun for me to tell there?" — "Sure, master,
  how about this song: 'Adam had Eve... right on the eve... of their very
  last day in the Eden...'" — "A good one!". Later, at the ball: "Messieurs, messieurs! My Stepan taught me a funny chanson ridicule:
  'Adam boinked Eve early at the dawn...' Pardon, not like that... 'Adam
  and Eve all through the night ...' Er... Hell, of course they had sex,
  but it was absolutement splendid in the verse!"

• Poruchik Rzhevsky is dancing with Natasha Rostova
  at the Grand Ball and suddenly he needs to take a leak. Being polite,
  he says to his lady: "Natasha, I beg your pardon to take a brief leave
  to check on my horse." In five minutes he is back, wet from his spurs to epaulets. "Is it rainy, poruchik?" wonders Natasha. "No, windy, mademoiselle."
