The Russian Reversal, more technically called an antimetabole, is a type of joke popularized by Ukrainian comedian Yakov Smirnoff. It is based on taking a statement about capitalist United States and inverting it to describe the then-communist Russia as a dystopian hellhole. Smirnoff later added the prefix "Soviet" to indicate the jokes were meant to target the past regime, as opposed to The New Russia. For instance:

"In America, you watch Television.
"In Soviet Russia, television watches YOU!!"

A Russian guy is at the Polish border:

“Russian.”
“Occupation?”
“No, no, just visiting.”
