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.

Russkaja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Со стен ползёт пот на паркет
Для перепонок пощады нет
Вертится танец, большой балет
И открылось небо
И сбылись мечты
Всё вокруг затихло
Появилась ты
Танцы, Танцы, Танцы, Танцы
Поднимают шансы, шансы
Ты станцуй и я станцую
В сердце страсть огнём пылает
Oгнём пылает
Вот и тебе вдруг кинули лук
Мочат гуся кандидатки наук
Здесь нет света - не нужен свет
Танец на ощупь, большой балет
И открылось небо
Появилась ты
Танцы, Танцы, Танцы, Танцы
Поднимают шансы, шансы
Ты станцуй и я станцую
В сердце страсть огнём пылает
Танцы, Танцы, Танцы, Танцы
Поднимают шансы, шансы
Ты станцуй и я станцую
В сердце страсть огнём пылает
Oгнём пылает
И открылось небо
И сбылись мечты
Всё вокруг затихло
Появилась ты
Танцы, Танцы, Танцы, Танцы
Поднимают шансы, шансы
Ты станцуй и я станцую
В сердце страсть огнём пылает
Танцы, Танцы, Танцы, Танцы
Поднимают шансы, шансы
Ты станцуй и я станцую
В сердце страсть огнём пылает

Schade, dass das Konzert abgesagt wurde. Sehr schade. Ich verstehe kein russisch. Trotzdem fühlte ich mich immer irgendwie sehr gut wenn ich die Musik von Russkaja in meinen Ohren hatte. Finde euch supi seit meiner Jugend. Wünsche weiterhin viel Erfolg und FRIEDEN FÜR DIE UKRAINE!
