Someone linked you to the Wikipedia article, and I just want to quote this bit of it: > and the inverted Soviet form something menacing or dysfunctional, satirizing life under a communist dictatorship A proper use of the "In Soviet Russia" meme isn't just reversing the words to make it sound like "Russian"; it' supposed to also suddenly construct a sentence that implies something dystopian. (And ideally, somewhat humorously, usually contextually so.) I think the right ones are generally only at "sensible chuckle" level — you're not going to die laughing usually. I don't think the one above really fits the template though.
