When he was 16, Ruslan wrote his first musical composition. The role of the only spectator and critic as well was given to his mother.

In 2004, he also won the second prize in the International Malvy Festival in Poland. In 2005, together with Aleksey Goman, winner of Narodniy Artist - 1, he was the prize winner of Festival of Patriotic songs with "This is my Homeland", devoted to Victory anniversary.
