It's pretty funny to read about the French or African sound of the word "Mouzhik" or how this song is about the Native Americans. I mean, it could be about Native Americans for all I know, but just so you know, "Mouzhik" is a Russian word that means something like "simple man" or "peasant". So at its face value the song is about the invasion of the Western world into the Slavic Eastern European civilizations. You can interpret it in whatever way you like, just bear in mind that "Mouzhik" is not some abstract name, but quite a specific Russian word that fits well into the general feel of the song: the simple man's reaction to the Western invasion. |
