If you know someone who knows Russian, please ask them if they can help me. And please ask them to forgive my mistakes, since I've never studied Russian at all -- I'm just going by a Cyrillic chart and whatever I can find on Google.

According to this article, The actual name of the most popular Tetris song is “Troika” while the other songs are named “Katchusha,” “Kalinka,” “Korobejinky,” “Korobochka” and “Tachanka.”

I'm trying to find recordings of these songs. I've got Калинка and Катюша, but the most popular Тройка seems to be a Чайковский tune unrelated to what I remember from Tetris. "Korobochka" seems like an unpopular transliteration, but I haven't been able to identify the original name. There's a song called Тачанка on this page, but it doesn't sound familiar to me. And I can't figure out how to spell "Korobejinky", either.

So:

Is there another name for the "Тройка" used in Tetris?

How should I be spelling "Korobochka" and "Korobejinky"?

Is the "Тачанка" I found really the same as the song that's played in Tetris?

Not that I can clarify the Russian song names, but this would be made a little bit clearer if you could specify a version and platform -- Tetris is one of the most cloned / ported games ever, most of those with entirely different soundtracks, and even if we're just talking NES you've still got two popular versions.

I'm trying to find recordings of these songs.

Multiple recordings, of live performances? Because if you're after the original tunes from the video games, those can easily be cracked open and dumped to wav/mp3.
