Of course there were discussions immediately after the start of the war. Should we really continue to glorify the Russian soul so mercilessly? Spread clichés about a country that has just invaded its neighbors? Should you keep singing lyrics like: “The Russians are here, after a day’s march/Let’s get started with energy exchange/Come on, everybody, move your ass!” in the red and black Cossack costume. Desperation broke out in the Viennese band Russkaja. Also at ORF, where the six musicians and one female musician have appeared in the weekly satirical TV program “Welcome Austria” since 2008.
