When a nationality or country is in a band name it almost inevitably means the band in question don't come from the country in their name. This is the case with Forward Russia who were a British indie band who hailed from Leeds.
In their early days all of their songs were numbers which was in the order the songs were made in. Quite similar to what Mansun were doing in the 90s with their EPs. The difference though was that Forward Russia only had 2 Top 40 hit with this being the 2nd. It followed "Nine" which made number 36.
This may explain their lack of chart success then. When "Twelve" came out people were looking for "One" and then when they discovered their Top 40 debut was called "Twelve" they started looking for "Thirteen" when they were looking for this. After that they must have just given up.
