Oh, that's a nice song, and here are my suggestions:
1. "Кусок" will be "a grand", so the title should be translated as "The Grand".
S1L2 my blood put pressure on the temples,-> it's pretty good, though they usually say like "blood hammered in my temples"
S1L4 Albeit I asked my neighbors for money, they didn't give me this.->My neighbours didn't give me a dime [a copeck], albeit I asked them in all kinds of ways,
S2L1 Hoping to find anything for sale, I went to my larder,->Hoping to find anything for sale, I went to my storeroom, (because larders are usually used to store food)
S2L2 to die from the hangover.->to die of hangover.
S2L3 I saw an old, dirty, and sweaty sock,->My eyes caught an old, dirty, and sweaty sock,
S2L4 And I found in this one thousand old Soviet rubles *->And I found an old [depreciated] grand in it
S3L1 My dear thousand rubles, why I didn't spend you before the inflation?->My dear, why hadn't I spent you before the inflation began?
S3l2 in the sock?!->in a sock (meaning the storage method, basically) :)
S3L3 Yeah, I'd better fine booze by you for a week,->Yeah, it would have been better if I'd had a nice booze on you for a week, (these corrections should be applied to all the following refrains, and Line3 should serve as a pattern for the altering third lines of the following refrains)
S4L2 I digged many graves ang trenches for you in many days time,->I was digging graves ang trenches for you round-the-clock,
S4L4 buy with you->buy on you
S5L3 - According to the pattern provided in S3L3
S6L1 I hit my already aching head in anger,
S6L2 I bited off all buttons on a sleeve shirt,-> I bit off all the buttons on my sleeve,
S6L3 Now I can wipe off something, guess what,->Using you, I can now wipe up - guess what,
S6L4 Now I can you roll up and shove in somewhere.->Now I can roll you up and shove in somewhere.
S7L3 - According to the pattern provided in S3L3
BTW, I've found that there are 2 links to "the hair of the dog" idiom below your translation. That happened because you added your interpretation https://lyricstranslate.com/en/hair-dog-0 without seeing it already had this one https://lyricstranslate.com/en/hair-dog added by Kostenzie on 11.02.2013 and explained by Phoenix_Rising on Tue, 12/02/2013.
So you'd better merge your explanation with the previously existed idiom entry. ;)

It does, but it's considered outdated, like saying "I have errands to run" instead of "I'm busy". ;)

the english of most russians is crude, but it does the job.
making a perfect translation from such a one is very little work
compared to trying to get a very first translation from a song
that is nowhere on the internet translated to any language whatsoever.
and you, as a guy who hardly understands russian,
break your brains trying to wrap your head around it.

Depends on the context. If you say "five grand", the context should already make it clear whether you're talking about Euros or rubles, otherwise the reader will assume you're talking about dollars. And you wouldn't say "five grand Euros" ever. ;)

Actually "grand" is used in the UK to refer to one thousand pounds, while the word "quid" is used to refer to 1 pound. It's slang and, apparently, quite widespread, so I don't think it would sound strange at all to use it in context speaking about other currencies.

Yeah, both answers are technically correct. :) Magicmulder is right that one wouldn't say, "five grand Euros," but on the other hand no one would say "five grand dollars" either. It'd just be "five grand" either way. The context will determine the specific type of currency, but in English "a grand" means "one thousand" when referring to money.

That was what I meant. :) It's the same in the US.
I also habitually say "10 bucks" (AE for "10 dollars") which I hope is understood as "10 EUR" in the EU since the exchange rate is pretty close to 1:1. Saves me the trouble of changing my words depending on the audience.

"Yukes" sounds like a portmanteau of "Euro" and "yikes". ;)
Sektor have covered many AC/DC and other rock titles but this one totally sounds like...
