Dear Simon,
Beethoven created at least 57 compositions in the style of Irish
songs. Needless to say, the Russian version refers to the Irish cycles
since it's called The Irish party song.
As far as I can judge, the Russian version described in Grossman's
text uses the melody of one of the Irish songs created by Beethoven
but the words are different from the Irish (English language) text.
All best,
Alexandra
