Edet chizhik v lodochke?

[Nancy Condee]

I am wondering if the list could provide background information on the
children's rhyme "Edet chizhik v lodochke"?  I am less interested in its
citation, as in German's _Khrustalev_, than in its place in Russo-Soviet
culture more generally.  Please reply off-list to condee at pitt.edu.  Thanks.
