In Soviet Russia, also called the Russian Reversal is a joke template taking the general form "In America you do X to/with Y; in Soviet Russia Y does X to/with you". Typically the American clause describes a harmless ordinary activity and the inverted Soviet form something menacing or dysfunctional, satirizing life under a communist dictatorship, or in the "old country". Sometimes the first clause is omitted, and the second are often deliberately rendered with English grammatical errors stereotypical of Russians.
