Well, I'm originally from Russia myself.
I can say that Russian Techno is AWESOME.
My favorite Russian Techno band is "Russki Razmer" ("Russian Size"). It's great, very melodic and upbeat, and the music really fills you with energy.
As someone here has mentioned, it IS true that most of these songs have Russian vocals in them. If you'd like to research this further, I recommend the following songs (you can find them on Napster, although the spelling might be a little different):
Russki Razmer - Ves Etot Mir (This Whole World)
Russki Razmer - Kto Ego Ubival (Who Killed Him)
Russki Razmer - Zvoni (Call)
If someone's interested I can attach one of these MP3s to my next forum message so that everyone can listen. I have lots of them.
