Playing as Poland, joined the Songhai in declaring war on Russia.
I just sent 1 knight near their border after a long time of doing nothing, and she surrendered, giving me St Petersburg.
Of course, that and all my other warmongering had completely destroyed my happiness at that point, so I stopped declaring war for a while to rebuild.
During that time, the Songhai and Inca declared war on Russia again without asking me to join. The Inca didn't do anything, but the Songhai sent a massive army through St Petersburg, into what's left of Russia. Thought that was going to be it.
Until the massive Songhai army returned, heavily damaged and retreating back to hide behind my border.
Then Catherine asked me to declare friendship with her, before almost immediately asking for an open border agreement.
Now I'm sitting there laughing my ass off as the Russian army passes my border to chase the Songhai army back across the continent.

I could understand the following ones:
Красуйся, град Петров х3
и стой неколебимо, как Россия,
[Shine, the Peter's city,
and stand unshakeable as Russia]
Осада! приступ! Злые волны х2
Как воры, лезут в окна. Челны
С разбега стекла бьют кормой.
[Assault! Alarm! Fierce waves are breaking
Like thieves into the houses. Snaking
Adrift, boats buffet, smashing panes.]
The thing gets repeated several times; and than at 1:42 starts something that's clearly not from the bronze horseman "развесёлые, простые, расписные" ["merry, common, decorated"], and although it sounds Pushkinish because of trochee, it seems it's not even Pushkin anyway. And it's very hard to guess at this point.
Anyway, after 2:40 we have
Народ зрит божий гнев и казни ждет.
Увы! Все гибнет: кров и пища!
Где будет взять?
[___The people fear
God’s judgement, for the signs are clear:
No food, no shelter; unavailing
Their cries for help.___]
At 3:08 we have the windows passage again and then the God's wrath plagues
Got them from http://www.tyutchev.org.uk/Download/Bronze%20Horseman.pdf

Actually, from 1.42 there goes:
Пожитки бледной нищеты,
Грозой снесенные мосты,
Гроба с размытого кладбища
Плывут по улицам! (repeated)
Belongins of pale beggars,
Bridges broken by thunder,
Coffins from cemetery washed away
Flow by the streets!

My experience with this character below.
It broke my heart when she betrayed me. I rescued her and Gandhi when Egypt and Britain had them both hammered back into their final couple cities. I sent workers into her territory to build up her infrastructure, liberate her cities and gifted them back, gifted her gold and resources as well. I did this for her and Gandhi both.
For most of the game, near start until after winning they were both my closest and only real allies. Meanwhile Caesar and I were at the height of a cold war. We directly bordered each other and had a massive military build up just a space or two away from each other. Both of us had Nuclear weapons armed and ready, fleets standing off with each other.
The Iroquois decided to attack Gandhi and so a war in the African Continent started. Dozens of turns later Caesar finally backed down and I was able to begin shipping my massive sea fleet towards Africa to help my ground forces fight the Iroquois. Catherine who had been all smiles and friendly suddenly declared war on me and bluntly said something about not seeing any other, better way to show her deceptive ways and even though the odds were against her it would be war.
It's kind of surreal how the AI thinks in this game. It's a coincidence I'm sure, but it seems like the moment she realized my fleet and nuclear weapons were no longer tied up with Caesar's cold war, she knew the only chance she had of winning was to declare war there and then and try to take some ground before my fleet could cross the ocean.
Next thing I knew she had artillery and infantry pouring across her border and through mine (I had conquered the area of India and she was based in southeast Asia.) That little incursion didn't last long though, as I had mechs and a nuclear submarine on standby in the area in case they were needed in India or in case the Ottomans to the north had decided to invade.
My bots made short work of her infantry and artillery, it was really like one of those futile soviet human wave tactics... Then I went ahead and nuked both of the cities I had just gifted her less than ten turns before.
The conflict continued and several turns later, all of the Russian territory (south east Asia, again) was little more than fires, fallout, and towers of smoke. She had lost every city but Moscow which was on a peninsula. My mechs had the city surrounded and she had nothing left but said city. My fleet had long since arrived with battleships, nuclear submarines, and aircraft carriers which shelled it for several turns while I hunted down the last of her naval and worker units.
Finally the city was attacked and captured. The last thing my "friend" Catherine ever saw were German mechs stomping through her burning countryside of mines and farms, land she was so certain would cease to be the boundaries of her empire, rather the heart of it some time later.
... Then I get the little diplomacy cut-scene and she's flirting about being my captive as she always does when defeated.
Goddamn it Catherine you didn't have to start fucking thermonuclear world war if all you wanted was to pack it all in and move to Germany. Goes to show you, "bros before hoes." Gandhi had my back during the whole conflict and still does even after. With his help we've driven the Iroquois and their city state allies down into a tiny spit of land at the tip of South Africa where they can be more easily observed and contained.

If you are still interested six years later, you are quite correct. The literal translation is not "death", but more like "punishment" or "plague", as "Plagues of Egypt".
The lyrics are two fragments from "The Bronze Horseman" by Pushkin, but verses are repeated just for effect and some stresses are wrong. I tried to show how it sounds (translation of the poem by Yengeniy Bonver).
City of Peter, just you shine
City of Peter, just you shine
City of Peter, just you shine
And stand unshakable as Russia!
Siege and assault! The evil waters
Thrust into windows, like slaughters.
The boats
Siege and assault! The evil waters
Thrust into windows, like slauthers.
The boats
The mad boats row into a glass.
Row into a glass
Row
Row into a glass
The stalls are under the wet mass.
Under the wet
The stalls are under the wet mass.
The wrecks of huts, the logs, roofs’ pieces,
The things, carried the pale want from,
The bridges got away by storm,
The coffins from the graveyards - float,
Along the streets!
Float, along the streats!
Float, along the streats!
The populace
Sees God’s great wrath and waits for death.
Sees God’s great wrath and waits for death.
All is
All is destroyed: bread and abode.
All is destroyed: bread and abode.
And abode
All is destroyed
Siege and assault! The evil waters
Thrust into windows, like slaughters.
Siege and assault! The evil waters
Thrust into windows, like slaughters.
Bread and abode
Is destroyed
Bread and abode
All is destroyed, and how to live?

Greetings upon thee, Your Imperial Majesty Catherine, wondrous Empress of all the Russias.
At your command lies the largest country in the world.
Mighty Russia stretches from the Pacific Ocean in the east to the Baltic Sea in the west.
Despite wars, droughts, and every manner of disaster the heroic Russian people survive and prosper, their artists and scientists among the best in the world.
The Empire today remains one of the strongest ever seen in human history - a true superpower, with the greatest destructive force ever devised at her command.
Catherine, your people look to you to bring forth glorious days for Russia and her people, to revitalize the land and recapture the wonder of the Enlightenment.
Will you lead your people once more into greatness?
Can you build a civilization that will stand the test of time?
