I think the joke would make more sense if the guy picked up the newspaper, unfolded it to see the entire front page, and then put it back and never bought it, day after day. The seller would still get mad because the guy never buys it, he only looks at the front page headline.

Maybe in Soviet era Russia, it is implied that you must purchase the newspaper before you unfold it?

In Soviet Russia, the newspaper unfolds YOU.
