The song was authored by Pelageja Griškina (her maiden name is unknown) after marrying Nikolaj Afanas′evič Griškin from Tugijany. They lived in the house of her husband's parents, and the clean, tidy woman had a difficult time with the more disorderly household and lifestyle of her father-in-law. Being in a subordinate position in several respects, as a young woman she did not really have any other means of protest than composing a taunting bulletin song. While such songs did not change the situation of their author, they had the potential to tip the good intentions of the community in their favor in evaluating the conflict. Several cases are known where someone's name was only preserved in the taunting song composed about them, while the personal song created by them and meant to be transmitted was forgotten. Their light-hearted tune and shortness also help with the preservation of taunting songs.
