Jan Pototcki's novel and the Russian underground

[Slivkin, Yevgeniy A.]

Dear colleagues,
In his book “Anderground: istoriia I mify leningradskoi neofitsial’noi literatury” S. Savitskii mentions a song by A. Khvostenko that narrates an episode from Jan Potocki’s novel “The Manuscript found in Saragossa”.
Does anyone know of any other influence this novel had on the literature of the Russian underground of the 1960's-70's? A film version of the novel by the Polish film director W. Has was released in the USSR in the late 1960’s. Some influence could perhaps be found in authors who use “inserted novel in inserted novel” techniques (“matreshka” narrative), since the main motif in the film is the surrealistic motif of a dreamer apparently awakening into what turns out to be just another dream.
Thank you.
