Team Murka
remains committed to pursuing
excellence in both Yachting and Show
Jumping. We are a privately funded
team which allows us the flexibility
to move with sleek agility and keen
awareness to identify and encourage
talented athletes within both
sporting disciplines.
Although a common name for a cat in
Russia, Team Murka was inspired by
an underground Russian song about a
young, beautiful and precocious girl
named Murka. She penetrated a
Russian gang and the lyrics imply
she acted as an agent for the
police. More stealth than a Bond
girl, Murka carried her own Nagant,
a Belgian pistol. When she is found
out, her lover who was the gang
leader as well kills her in a dark
alley with a single bullet.
This song was very popular in Russia
during the days of the former Soviet
Republic when young people imagined
themselves as revolutionaries and
fell in love with the Murka
Mystique.
Please keep informed of our future
events through our website and keep
an eye out for the shadow of Team
Murka's cat!
Here is the refrain of Murka:
Zdravstvuy, moya Murka. Murka
dorogaya. Zdravstvuy, moya Murka, i
proshchay. Ty zashukherila vsyu
nashu melinu. A tyeper
maslinu poluchay.
Hello, my Murka. Darling Murka!
Hello, my Murka, and goodbye. You've
betrayed all our gang. And here's a
bullet for it.
