    Some of you may know about the Russian Reversal though other online sites. The general form of the Soviet Russia joke is that the subject and objects of a statement are reversed, and ???In Soviet Russia,??? or something equivalent, is added. For example.
    In the US, you can catch a cold.
    In Soviet Russia, cold catches you!

    So the format for this will be
    In the Avatar World, (subject)
    In Soviet Avatar World, (subject reversed)

    Let me give a example to start it off.

    In the Avatar World, you can sell cabbages.
    In Soviet Avatar World, cabbages sell you!

    Sure that was alittle lame, but lets see what you got.

    Edit
    If you cannot think of a full Russian Reversal just make the last line of the Russian Reversal from something from Avatar that is commonly known.

    But wouldn't that be:
    in the soviet avatar world, a pet bear can have you
    you know since "pet" is more of an adjective to describe the bear and not a subject... (sorry if i sound all know-it-allish... i was simply inquiring)
    anyway, i'll try one

    in the avatar world, a crazy man can control foam in mouth
    in the soviet avatar world, foam in mouth controls crazy man
