Poems and Songs of Vladimir Vysotsky. Life Is Twisted.
Commentary to the song “Candles trickle and drown...”
This song has much in common with the song “Give the starved dogs ends or bones...” and the poem “In Asia, or perhaps in Europe...”, given in the commentary to it.
The song was performed in the film “Cases of the Bygone Days” (1972).
