Book Title?

[sherlock2040.livejournal.com]

Hi,

A friend has given me a book they found in a university library sale. We've all taken a guess as to what the book is a about, but I can't seem to translate the title: Русские Просветители

I'm not having a huge amount of luck with dictionaries. Any help is appreciated!

from the song черный бумер by серега...

I don't think i'm getting the full understanding of the words доска, мурки, and the meaning of the second line in general.



Ай улица родная семь домов, три доски
Здесь делать неча наши мурки воют от тоски





(I'm not interested in hearing any sort of commentary about the song itself, its quality or otherwise.)
