Привет!
Or should I say: “Xой!”, since that's the Russian punk rock greeting?..

Today's Russian lesson is joined by 'Король и Шут' ('King and Jester') - a cult Russian horror punk band. Their lyrics are based on scary tales, folk mythology and the various beings that inhabit it. The spooky theme is of course accompanied by eye-catching makeup and hairstyles to match.

Let’s practice some vocabulary from the lessons!

• Моя любимая песня - ‘Лесник’.
• My favorite song is ‘Lesnik' ('The Woodsman').

• В детстве я мечтал стать барабанщиком известной рок-группы.
• As a child, I dreamed of becoming a drummer for a famous rock band.

• В школе я носил ирокез.
• I had a mohawk in school.
