Don't worry too much, good old russian humor (if there is such a thing 
:-P) is not the only type of humor that we over here in Wester Europe or 
Northern America have some difficulty to identify without a truckload of 
emoticons. Your Finnish neighbours could tell stories about it - right, 
Warp? ;-)

Seriously though: Language barriers are the worst enemy of all good (and 
bad) humor; where it is difficult to pass information across such a 
barrier, you can be sure that - as far as written text is concerned - 
any emotional overtones are entirely lost at best, and misunderstood at 
worst. (This is entirely different from verbal communication, where 
emotions can easily be communicated even between people who don't 
understand a single word of what the other is saying.)
