The music is from the old Soviet movie "Bespridannitsa" (Girl with no Dowry, 1937). This is a fragment of the XIXth century Russian song "To ne veter vetku klonit" (It's Not the Wind that Bends the Branch; composed by A. Varlamov, lyrics by S. Stromilov). This is what the lyrics are saying:

I am worn down by my sorrow,
Stealthy snake beneath the tree,
Burn, my wood-brand, there's no morrow,
And I shall burn out with thee.
(translated by C. K. Goldstein and I. H. Grade).

I don't know who's that about (ok, I'll might wikipedia or read the nfo file, just lazy) but nice use of effects to build theme.

Optimus, VNN was the principal coder on the majority of border-drawing prods made by AAA band. He had a stroke and died on 12th of September aged 57.

As I watch the zx.pk.ru forum only from time to time, I've just received a PM that he sent to me in June.
Which is even more sad, to get such a thing suddenly.

RIP.
