According to Knaurs Vornamenbuch, Brisko is a Slavic pet form of Friedrich. (I'm not sure how that works linguistically myself, but that's what it says!)

A Google search for "Brisko Friedrich" turns up more than a dozen pages on the German-language Internet with this info. They look as if they all come from a common source, maybe originally from Wilfried Seibicke, the German linguist that specialised in names.
