Actually, it is a Russian genre called "romance". The words were written and published in a magazine in 1838 by a naval officer, A. Molchanov, and put to music the same year by the Russian composer N.P. Dewitte.
The group is a popular folk group from Bryansk called "Grandmothers Grandsons" (Babkini Vnuki)

Enjoy.
