How to express the contrasting “still others”, as in “some people do X, others do Y, still others do...
In English, you say "some ..., while others ...", when comparing just two groups of people. And when the third group is thrown into the mix, you add "still" or "yet" to "others":
Some people do X, others do Y, still/yet others do Z.
The same construction applies to the German equivalent as well:
Manche von uns {Some of us} ..., andere {others} ..., wieder andere {again others} ...
What is a commonly used phrase in Russian for the third group "still others"?

In Russian you can say "одни", "другие", "третьи" and so on for some particular groups and "остальные" for "the rest". E.g. "одни пьют виски, другие текилу, третьи ром, а остальные - водку".

Hi. What if the third group is the last of the bunch? "одни пьют виски, другие текилу, а остальные - водку"? And is it necessary to place a dash after "остальные"?

I'm not sure I'd agree. "The rest" implies that you have now created an exhaustive list of what people drink, while "still others" doesn't.

Usually it's conveyed by using кто with each group, optionally replacing it with а кто и for the last one:

In these Cornell's lyrics from Be Yourself I would translate each "someone" and "another" as "кто-то":
Someone falls to pieces sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited in a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
Someone finds salvation in everyone, another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself, down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love until the end of time, another runs away
Separate or united, healthy or insane
That being said, in most cases "одни", "другие" and "a кто-то [ещё]" will work.
