One time, when me and my little brother were visiting our babushka (granny), we took a ladybird in her home. My parents and babushka told us to let the ladybird go, but we wouldn't listen. There was a show on TV with a man ranting about something, I can't remember what, and then he said: "please, let the poor ladybird go"! I'm sure it was not a video, because babushka didn't have a VCR. We believed that the man could see us so we let the bug go. I don't know if the TV was "watching" us or what, but it still freaks me out. I was born in Soviet Russia.

The limitation is that "X" is some kind of entity that performs the act of "Y". If we expanded the snowclone to something like "X does Y, but in Soviet Russia, Y Xes you", then where X and Y go would matter. It's hard to limit the snowclone to that form, since the "in Soviet Russia" response can follow a variety of phrasings. The order that the variables occur in the alphabet is irrelevant here, yes.
