Now a [[Discredited Meme]] in some parts of the Net because of overuse.<ref>Although, in Soviet Russia, meme discredits YOU!</ref>
The source of many trope names, including [[Ass Kicks You]], [[Dog Walks You]], [[Bullet Dodges You]],<ref>which actually had "In Soviet Russia Bullet Dodges You" as a redirect for a while</ref>
See also [[Glorious Mother Russia]] for the [[Hollywood Atlas]] version of Soviet Russia that inspired the jokes.

** This is a glorious example from the 2004 ''Punisher'' movie. There's a scene in which a massive hitman known only as the Russian shows up at the Punisher's apartment and proceeds to kick his ass. Like the comic series from which it was adapted (Welcome Back, Frank), the Russian (played by pro wrestler Kevin Nash) is wearing a very distinctive horizontally striped red and white shirt. This prompted fans into proclaiming "In Soviet Russia, [[Where's Waldo|Waldo]] finds you!"
