I forgot to add to my list Petrushevskaya's song My Boy about a  
wealthy disabled English(?) financial adviser who lives in a large  
apartment in Moscow. He is compared to Karl Marx...The song (2003) is   
truly bizzare and is performed by Petrushevskaya herself (the disc  
with her songs is titled Seredina Bol'shogo Iuliusa). You could here  
the song here: http://www.zvuki.ru/T/P/23393/mp3/5

All best,
Alexandra
