If they were reading Russian novels, what's the big deal? They all end the same.

American Novel Endings: Boy and girl get together
French Novel Endings: Boy and girl break up

Borscht Belt joke version:

Russian Romance: Everybody dies.

Russian Drama: Everybody dies.

Russian Comedy: Everybody dies, but they die laughing.
