"Rusinka" (Macedonian: Русинкa, English: Russian Girl) is a song performed by Macedonian singer Vlatko Ilievski. The song represented Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany, but it failed to qualify in the final. For first time it was performed on Skopje Fest 2011, together with nineteen other songs, and won the first place, from both jury and the public votes.
Apart from the Macedonian version of the song, the song was also released in three other languages: English, Russian and Serbo-Croatian. It was later confirmed that Vlatko will sing the song originally in Macedonian. The music video for the song premiered on March 17, 2011. It was directed by Boško Stolić and filmed in HD.
"Rusinka" was composed by Grigor Koprov, Vladimir Dojčinovski - Dojčin, Jovan Jovanov, while the lyrics were written by Marko Marinkovic - Slatkar. The music incorporates modern music style mixed with traditional Russian music. The lyrics are about a Macedonian boy who fells in love with a Russian girl, saying that he doesn't understand a word she is saying, but he would learn everything just for her. The traditional drinks of both countries (Macedonia and Russia) vodka and rakija are mentioned in the text.
