I think it should be something like this in Russian:

ýé óõíåì ýé óõíåì
åù¸ ðàçèê åù¸-òî ðàç (once more, one more time)

Ðàçîðâ¸ì ìû áåð¸çó (we pull off the birch)
ðàçîðâ¸ì ìû êóäðÿâó (we pull off the curly one)
àé äà äà àé äà àé äà äà àé äà
ðàçîðâ¸ì ìû êóäðÿâó

Ìû ïî áåðåãó èä¸ì (we walk along the bank)
ïåñíþ ñîëíå÷íó ïî¸ì (sunny song we sing)
àé ...

Ýõ òû Âîëãà ìàòü ðåêà (oh you Volga mother-river)
øèðîêà è ãëóáîêà (wide and deep)
àé ...

These Volga boatmen (burlaki) were in fact no boatmen at all but members of local peasantry whose daily duty it was to drag the boats and ferries up the river past the rapids and other difficult places. If you've seen a copy of Ilya Repin's painting 'Burlaki na Volge' you have an idea of what that was like.

For those who have win95/98/NT, the easiest way to get hold of Cyrillic typing is simply to turn on Multilingual Support (ctrl Panel/add prgms/win settings) and add 'Russian' to input locales (either Regional or Keyboard Settings). Keyboard layout is changed by alt/shift or clicking the icon on taskbar. The basic fonts work fine, at least I haven't downloaded any so far.

I'm using Netscape 4.5 and it seems to recognise Russian pages automatically (newer IEs should do as well), in case it doesn't you have to check the character set (KOI-8R, Win 1251) manually.

As far as I've been told, all win 95etc compatible word processing software by MS, as well as Corel WP7 & later, take advantage of this feature. Win 3.xx are different.

btw äóá (dub) = oak > dubina
