| From Soviet...
|
| Recently I visited a wonderful country
|
| An embrace to all who were born on the ruins of an empire
|
| What did you love there? |
| What did you believe in there?
|
| Ice cream "Lakomka" for thirty kopecks?
|
| Colored alstroemerias of Lavrenty Beria?
|
| My grandfather came on foot to Stalin's funeral
|
| I haven’t seen my father for ten years, the family didn’t know yet, but
|
| He was shot somewhere in the ruins of Butovo
|
| Without the right to correspond, they say, and they buried them there,
|
| But when I was little, I was almost happy with everything
|
| Lithuanian Zalgiris, Yerevan Ararat
|
| Torpedo workers at ZIL, metalworkers from Kharkov
|
| Oleg Basilashvili, Liya Akhedzhakova
|
| Now we have everything: sex, boxing, and jazz
|
| We sit and sip kvass, who is there against us?
|
| Mayak call signs and TASS statements
|
| This construction is for centuries, with us here and now
|
| Like a time loop for how many years
|
| Once a common land - a country that does not exist
|
| And you are a fanfaron or a genius, all remained to us
|
| Each generation has its own Afghanistan
|
| The star will show the carpenter's son where to put the cross
|
| Do not defeat our desire to change places,
|
| But not in the port, not at the station, you can't buy a ticket |
| Come to the mirror, look into the eyes
|
| A country that doesn't exist!
|
| Recently I visited a wonderful country
|
| Oh no, it smells of oil in here!
|
| Recently I visited a wonderful country
|
| Oh no, it smells of oil in here!
|
| Recently I visited a wonderful country
|
| Oh no, it smells of oil in here!
|
| Recently a guest—, a long time a guest—
|
| But we are not, we are not!
|
| Recently I visited a wonderful country
|
| Not so much has changed as it might seem:
|
| The Supreme Council is now the Federation Council
|
| The same uncles are discreet - normal boys
|
| Aunts with reformation hairstyles
|
| Let the crowd of foreigners on the Square on Krasnaya
|
| Mall, don't fuck around, instead of prom
|
| But on the first of May they will go on demonstration
|
| People with posters from the past, stay happy
|
| Kefir from the package to drink to your heart's content
|
| They built a rocket for three years, it's a pity it exploded on takeoff
|
| I wish we were now in the land of the Soviets, right, Uncle Vasya?
|
| “What is in your head at all? |
| Fucking crucian "
|
| Men, do you want change? |
| Well then "Just do it"
|
| Tired of these walls? |
| Break them into their cunt!
|
| Otherwise, hatred and decay, it is often not easy |
| Break with a country that doesn't exist
|
| Like a time loop for how many years
|
| Once a common land - a country that does not exist
|
| And you are a fanfaron or a genius, all remained to us
|
| Each generation has its own Afghanistan
|
| The star will show the carpenter's son where to put the cross
|
| Do not defeat our desire to change places,
|
| But not in the port, not at the station, you can't buy a ticket
|
| Come to the mirror, look into the eyes
|
| A country that doesn't exist!

|
| Recently a guest—, a long time a guest—
|
| But we are not, we are not!
|
| A purely personal example: loneliness in Riga
|
| Drunkenness without measure, e-books
|
| There are belated premieres in the cinema, and look:
|
| Legionnaires old men - throw ridges
|
| A piece stuck in the heart of love
|
| All episodes of Game of Thrones in a row
|
| I could write a story myself, but I drink whiskey and cola
|
| Even a fast train will not come here soon
|
| It seems that the sun was promised, but there are few chances |
| On the other side of the cemetery - the railway
|
| It's great to walk, but not a single living soul at all
|
| Right behind the railroad is another cemetery
|
| I extract beauty from a variety of things
|
| I compose on the go, convey feelings
|
| At odds with oneself, and longing for no reason
|
| Where are you, JohnyBoy? |
| Make me a cappuccino
|
| For Alexey, Grand Latte is ready, thanks
|
| - Fuck, I asked: ka-pu-chi-no |
