The Phrase "Cheeki Breeki", and its history
If your new to Clear Sky or Shadow of Chernobyl, Maybe your friend told you to get it or you just bought it out of pitty, you may hear the phrase "A nu chiki-briki i v damki!" being use by the Renigades. You may be wondering (IF YOUR NEW TO THIS GAME) what it means and where it came from. (SPOILERS: I will be covering the history of the Phrase). So the phrase was first heard in a video on youtube called "Meet the Bandits". The video shows a pair of Gobnicks danceing to the Bandit radio tune from the game (Link to the song Here https [/url]) While phrases from the game is heard in the backgroud. The first phrase heard is the Cheeki Breeki phrase. (Link to the Meet the Bandits video [/url]). The second time the phrase was heard was in a video named "CHEEKI BREEKI". It first starts off with the player walking into a room, only to see one of bandits. The bandit's AI seems to have a bug in it, causing it to bend its torso in odd positions while shoting his weapon at the floor. Again the bandit radio theme plays in the background as well as the cheeki breeki phrase, witch is reapeted several times (Link to the vid here [/url]). To this day, no one knows what the phrase really means. Some say its a battle call, while others say its just radom Russian words combined to make the phrase. What do you think.

I am russian and I don't know what the hell is this phrase means. It's just random words I think. Maybe some local slang. But actually bandits' phrases are purposely funny, they are mocking our criminal culture.

I did a google search once as well as some translation test with the word, including for Russian. Truth be told, defently not Russia of any kind.. At lest nothing I found. but did match a mix of words, part I think (was a long time ago..) from Africa some place...

The "Cheeki Breeki" part was in reference to "Check Brakes". In another post of the stalker fourms someone said that is not what it ment, but they could not tell me a straight answare anyway. But I can see it used in this manner..

Like in the US, this could be seen as a plauseable slang interpretation for slangs here such as "Hey Stop everyone!" or "hold up!" or "hit the brakes!" while on foot.

After all when they are in a group, and they spot you, that is around the time you hear this remark, and they all act on it. So I say it kind of supports this theory.

I found nothing about the "Vidunka" part..

It's local slang mixed with an vague nursery rhyme.
