Fragment of a song for which relatively abundant data are available, I have collected several versions for the sake of studying variation. Interestingly, we do not know much about its author, it is suspected to have been created by the widow of the song's hero. Zakharka was an Ostjak from Muligort (Ostjak mŭli kurt, Vogul muli pāχǝl), who was sent as an agitator to the vicinity of Kazym in the mid-1930s, and was killed by the resisting rich. Different versions are circulating about the circumstances of his death (he was drowned, shot, beaten to death – according to the informant, the latter). A monument was later erected to him in Berёzovo. The tune of the song is about the same everywhere, the words, though made up of well known phrases, show quite significant variation. The song itself is a little unusual, a piece that is difficult to categorize by genre (apart from the laments, no data have been collected so far of longer works addressed to dead persons in SG2), it may have been created upon foreign motivation.
