Ex members are Titus Vadon (drums, vocals / ex-member from drahdiwaberl & das balaton combo), Zebo Adam (guitar, vocals / ex-member from hallucination company), Antonia-Alexa Georgiew (violin, vocals), Werner Köck (guitar), Manfred Franzmeier (saxophone / member from hot pants road club, ex-member from madrid de los austrias) and Christoph Schödl (drums).
Their music is a rousing mixture of russian folkmusic and ska / ska-punk.
"Russkaja is the exact opposite of Easy Listening music, Russkaja - terror of terrors of all Russian folk music societies - stands for fat Austrian Polka beats. The group members are the most illustrious musicians of the Alpine region, who possess a colourful mix of cultural backgrounds. They pour these various cultural influences into a postmodern version of Russian folk and spread their distinctive music all over Europe. It is sweaty and shouts out loud: Dance Dance Dance! It is a clash of trash metal, world jazz, funky stuff and Frank Zappa-esque Rock. All these things signify: Get down to business!"
There is a word play in the name of the band: RUSSKAJA means 'russian' on russian language, but it also stands for: 'Rus' = Russia - 'Ska' = style of music - 'Ja' = German for: Yes.

Вырезал из журналов картинки
Я на парте её рисовал
0 ней думал во время линейки
Как надеялся я, как я ждал
Но она так и не появлялась
И казалось мне что она
Просто надо мной издевалась
И ушёл я в запой, беспощадный запой
И не думал о ней, уже несколько дней
И вот только тогда, неожиданно вдруг
У меня появилась она
Барада у меня у меня появилась она е е е
Барада усики борода бадара бакенбарды
Барада и меня наконец одарила природа
Ой слава богу, оыло пора Барада
Барада у меня у меня появилась она е е е
Барада усики борода бадара бакенбарды
Барада и меня наконец одарила природа
Ой слава богу, оыло пора Барада
Я хотел быть как Фу Манчу
Как Чак Норрис с братвою я бился
Бородищу сказал отращу
Че Гевара бы мной загордился
ZZ Тор из колонок рычал
И запел я как Павароти
Я так долго себя искал
Знал в Раю борода тоже в моде
С щетиной я шальной, я с усами чумной
С эспаньолкой хорош, на козла был похож
Пролетели года и нашёл я себя
У меня поседела она
Барада у меня у меня появилась она е е е
Барада усики борода бадара бакенбарды

Ой слава богу, оыло пора Барада

The lyrics to the song "Barada" by Russkaja tells the story of a man who had been dreaming of a woman with a beard for his entire childhood, and how his obsession with her affected his life. He drew pictures of her during class, and daydreamed about her during lessons. However, she never appeared, and he began to feel like she was taunting him. He turned to alcohol and forgot about her, until one day she unexpectedly appeared in his life. The chorus of the song celebrates his joy at finally finding his dream woman, with the word "Barada" repeated multiple times.
The song can be interpreted in several ways. On the surface level, it is a humorous song about a man's obsession with a woman with a beard, which is quite an odd and hilarious idea. However, it can also be seen as a commentary on society's obsession with physical appearance, and how we often create unrealistic standards of beauty that can cause mental health issues such as body dysmorphia. The song also touches on themes of loneliness, isolation, and the need for human connection.

Я всё детство о ней мечтал
I dreamed of her all my childhood
Вырезал из журналов картинки
I cut out pictures from magazines
Я на парте её рисовал
I drew her on my desk
0 ней думал во время линейки
I thought about her during class
Как надеялся я, как я ждал
How I hoped and waited
Но она так и не появлялась
But she never appeared
И казалось мне что она
And it seemed to me that she
Просто надо мной издевалась
Was just mocking me
И ушёл я в запой, беспощадный запой
And I fell into a binge, a merciless binge
И не думал о ней, уже несколько дней
And didn't think about her for several days
И вот только тогда, неожиданно вдруг
And then, suddenly
У меня появилась она
She appeared to me
Барада у меня у меня появилась она е е е
I got my beard, I got her, oh yeah
Барада усики борода бадара бакенбарды
Beard, mustache, goatee, muttonchops
Барада и меня наконец одарила природа
Nature finally gave me a beard
Ой слава богу, оыло пора Барада
Oh, thank God, it was time for a beard
Я хотел быть как Фу Манчу
I wanted to be like Fu Manchu
Как Чак Норрис с братвою я бился
I fought like Chuck Norris with the gang
Бородищу сказал отращу
I said to my beard, grow
Че Гевара бы мной загордился
Che Guevara would be proud of me
ZZ Тор из колонок рычал
ZZ Top growled from the artists
И запел я как Павароти
And I sang like Pavarotti
Я так долго себя искал
I searched for myself for so long
Знал в Раю борода тоже в моде
I knew that beards are also in fashion in heaven
С щетиной я шальной, я с усами чумной
With my wild stubble and crazy mustache
С эспаньолкой хорош, на козла был похож
I looked good with an espanolka, like a goat
Пролетели года и нашёл я себя
Years flew by and I found myself
У меня поседела она
She turned gray on me
Барада у меня у меня появилась она е е е
I got my beard, I got her, oh yeah
Барада усики борода бадара бакенбарды
Beard, mustache, goatee, muttonchops
Барада и меня наконец одарила природа

Ой слава богу, оыло пора Барада
Oh, thank God, it was time for a beard

Scotty Darling
I´ve dreamed about it all my life
cut out the pictures of the magazines
I scratched it into the school desk
I thought about it during the flag parade
How I was hoping, how I was waiting
but it did not appear
It seemed, that it was
just teasing me
And I started to drink
merciless to drink
I had forgotten about it
for several days
and then unexpected
suddenly, all at once
I got it.
Barada - I've got, I've got a beard now (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Barada - moustache, beard, whiskers
Barada - finally naturally gifted
Oh Praise the Lord, it was about time - I´ve got a beard
I wanted to be like Fu Manchu,
Like Chuck Norris I fought with my buddies,
I told that I will grow a giant beard
Che Guevara would be proud of me
ZZ Top screamed out of my speakers
and I sang as Pavarotti
I was searching myself
knowing that in heaven is beard also in vogue
With a three-day beard I´m erratic
with a moustache I´m freaky
with a Spanish beard somehow
I looked like a goat
As time passed by
I was finding myself
and it got grey
Barada - now it got grey (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Barada - moustache, beard, whiskers
Barada - finally naturally gifted
Praise the Lord, it was about time - I´ve got a beard
As time passed by
I was finding myself
and it got grey
Barada - now it got grey (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Barada - moustache, beard, whiskers
Barada - finally naturally gifted
Praise the Lord, it was about time - I´ve got a beard

Miha Chentsov
Barada - beard in russian. He is singing about his dreams of having a beard when he was a kid, but he could neverr get it and was giving up hope, as one day he finally got it. Thats where all those names come in. He felt like Chuck Norris fighting off thugs, pavarotti and that che gevara would be proud... and so on all those guys with cool beards basically. Lyrics are actually really witty and cool
Ragnar Bloodsmoke
Aaaaand now i understand
ZX Spectrum Hotel
It's pity that is not obvious in this video, but the humor of this song that he is singing entire first verse about "she" until word "Barada!". The specificity of Russian language is such that you should say "she" about any female and may other things and the beard for example.
For me it sounds like he was dreaming of dating a girlfriend but gets a beard instead and it's so crazy that I can't stop laughing.

ohhh men thaaaanks !!!

TheShich ahhh, well, in Russian grammar gender is often nothing more than an abstract grammar concept. It corresponds to the biological sex only when you speak about living objects.
