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.

Nikogda
Russkaja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ну а я за неё постою, не сдаюсь,
Навсегда я с тобой.
И вырываются злые слова,
Как иголки они мне в груди
Причиняют ужасную боль.
Ой-ой-ой...
Это не вышибет нас из седла
Никогда.
Это не вышибет нас из седла.
Я поверю с тобой в чудеса:
Каждый день перед нами они на глазах
Тянут нас за собой.
Ой-ой-ой...
А иногда мы заходим в тупик,
В лабиринте слова,
Что к чему непонятно:
Зачем этот бой?
Ой-ой-ой...
Это не вышибет нас из седла
Никогда.
Это не вышибет нас из седла
Никогда.
Guarda nuestro amor,
yo lo defenderé.
Jamás me rendiré.
Siempre tú, siempre yo...
Ой-ой-ой...
Это не вышибет нас из седла
Никогда.
Это не вышибет нас из седла
Никогда.
En milagros contigo creí
mira alrededor
están siempre ahí.
Nos despierta el amor, mmmmm
el amor
Y a veces no temo si soy (???), si (lo) soy
¿Donde está la razón?
Siente la ilusión.
Это не вышибет нас из седла
Никогда.
Никогда.
Ой...
