Explore Russian songs from various genres and eras in my handpicked music collection, designed to help you learn the language naturally.
Why Learn Russian Through Music?
Music is one of the most enjoyable ways to study a language. By listening to Russian songs, you can improve your vocabulary, grammar, and listening comprehension while experiencing authentic cultural content. Songs often contain everyday expressions and emotional language that you won’t always find in textbooks.
How the Playlists Work
The playlists are organised by genre (pop, rock, rap) and, for pop songs, also by decade — from the 1990s to today. This structure makes it easy to explore Russian music in the style and era you enjoy most:
🎤 Russian Pop — playlists for the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.
🎸 Russian Rock — classics and modern tracks.
🎧 Russian Rap & Hip-Hop — discover both popular and underground voices.
What’s Next?
In the future, I plan to publish song analyses for selected tracks. Each analysis will include:
- the meaning of key words and phrases,
- examples of usage in everyday speech,
- cultural and stylistic notes.
This way, you’ll not only enjoy the music but also expand your Russian naturally through lyrics.
