In Soviet Russia

Although the exact origin of the joke form is uncertain, an early example is from the 1938 Cole Porter musical ''Leave It to Me!'' ("In Soviet Russia, messenger tips you."). Bob Hope used the form at the 1958 Academy Awards. In the 1968–1973 television show ''Laugh-In'', a recurring character, "Piotr Rosmenko the Eastern European Man" (played by Arte Johnson), delivered short jokes such as "Here in America, is very good, everyone watch television. In old country, television watch you!" This joke alludes to "telescreens" from George Orwell's dystopian novel ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'', which both reproduce images and monitor the citizenry.
The joke form is often associated with the Soviet emigrant comedian Yakov Smirnoff, who used it, for example, in a 1985 Miller Lite commercial: "In America, there's plenty of light beer and you can always find a party. In Russia, Party always finds you". Another example is by Garry Kasparov: "Every country has its own mafia; In Russia, the mafia has its own country." Provided by Wikipedia
