hard to make out the Russian due to the accent.

In Soviet Russia, song translates YOU!!

The accent is… horrible indeed. I only understood "do svidanya, Putin" ("goodbye, Putin"), and what seems to be "na zdorovye, Lenin" ("you're welcome, Lenin").

I swear I wouldn't even think it was Russian if you hadn't told me. o_0

Have no fear it's the dancing bear!!

Oh and to avoid misunderstandings, this was not a contestant, but part of a sketch relating to the fact that this years ESC is in Moscow. The sketch be seen in it's entirety here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GQZeJ2J ... re=related

They talk Swedish in the beginning. Bald guy thinks it's cold, other guy says it's because he doesn't have a fur hat, everyone in Moscow does, in fact "Moscow" means fur hat in Russian.

I thought it was funny... swedish humor

I'm trying to think if there's any Russian stereotype they forgot to include. They even had Tetris blocks falling in the background!
