| 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 |
