Our Ultras

Kolovrat's song 'Our Ultras' delves into the violent and extreme subculture of football hooliganism, particularly focusing on the 'Ultras'—a faction known for their aggressive and often racist behavior. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a fan who is not just a spectator but a 'master of the stadium' and a 'cruel street fighter.' This individual is portrayed as a 'king of tribunes' and a 'nightmare of OMON,' the Russian special police force, indicating a deep-seated animosity towards authority figures.

The song glorifies physical violence and lawlessness, describing the fan as a 'champion of fights without rules' and someone who uses 'chains, brass knuckles, armature, iron pipes' to defend the honor of his favorite club. The repeated references to 'skinheads' and 'Aryan ideas' reveal a disturbing alignment with far-right ideologies, making it clear that this is not just about football but also about a broader socio-political stance. The chorus reinforces this by declaring the 'cruel power of skinheads' and the belief that 'sport is a deal of White People,' further emphasizing the racial and ideological undertones.

The song also touches on the sense of community and identity that these Ultras derive from their activities. They see themselves as 'the elite of sports,' with a strong sense of 'pride and honor.' The lyrics suggest that this violent lifestyle is a form of eternal fight, a way of life that they are committed to, regardless of the consequences. The final lines of the song, 'Everything can happen, but the fan stays himself and believes in the club,' encapsulate this unwavering loyalty and the idea that their identity is intrinsically tied to their role as Ultras.
