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.

Sorry
Russkaja Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′ve been so far away from the glory to learn from my mistakes
I've been running away to find out the wrong the right the fake
I′m down on my knees ashamed of myself
It took me far too long to put it into the words - I'm sorry

Потерян путь в темноте
Жизнь превратилась в враньё
Слова мелькают в огне

Сказать их так нелегко

Я не позволю губить
Гордыне эту любовь
Я не могу отрицать
I need you by my side

I know that I crossed the line
I lost myself by the time
You were gone I'm crying for my soul it′s dying
Dying every day
Every little day is dying

I′ve been so far away from the glory to learn from my mistakes
I've been running away to find out the wrong the right the fake
I′m down on my knees ashamed of myself
It took me far too long to put it into the words - I'm sorry

I′m down on my knees ashamed of myself
It took me far too long to put it into the words - I'm sorry
