Also referred to as "In Soviet Russia..." the Russian Reversal was a famous component of the comedian Yakov Smirnoff's stand-up routine. The joke is very easy to use in nearly any context, which is likely part of the reason why it has become a popular Internet Meme in recent years.

- Welcome to the Russian Reversal timeline, here I will explore the changes which come about after the Russian Empire changes from a Tsarist Autocracy to a Constitutional Monarchy in the early 1880s. This alternate history explores how the world changes from the late nineteenth century to the modern day, along with cultural, leadership, politics, and so on.
- In soviet Russia Chuck Norris makes jokes about you!
- A Russian reversal, or "In Soviet Russia," is a joke invented by a guy named Smirnoff. The original is "In Soviet Russia, television watches YOU!" but all don't have to have Orwellian undertones.
- The Russian Reversal is a debating and argumentative tactic developed by the USSR during the twentieth century. A tool described as being able to end and subsequently win any discussion, its original intent was to stupefy capitalist dogs by inverting the sentence and introducing a new prepositional phrase, thus obfuscating the topic and allowing the debater to take control and bury his opponent. Its execution is as simple as it is lethal: the subject and direct object of the sentence in question are reversed, the sentence is preceded with "in Soviet Russia" and all sentences are shifted into the second person.

- The Russian Reversal is a debating and argumentative tactic developed by the USSR during the twentieth century. A tool described as being able to end and subsequently win any discussion, its original intent was to stupefy capitalist dogs by inverting the sentence and introducing a new prepositional phrase, thus obfuscating the topic and allowing the debater to take control and bury his opponent. Its execution is as simple as it is lethal: the subject and direct object of the sentence in question are reversed, the sentence is preceded with "in Soviet Russia" and all sentences are shifted into the second person. This is because Soviet Russia is a wondrous land of complete automation and bizarre reversal of ordinary American events and situations. Imagine your wonder when, upon calling a taxi, you discover that here in Soviet Russia, taxi calls YOU!! The original technique was introduced by Politburo hack and Minister of Propaganda Yakov Smirnoff soon after he infiltrated America! What a country! from Ukraine during the Cold War. "<i>In America, you can always find a party.</i>" Years of ruthless science from the finest minds in Soviet Russia refined this solipsistic bourgeois notion to: "<i>In Soviet Russia, Party finds YOU!!</i>" and the rest is history. __TOC__
