Comment: Illegal use of foreign intellectual property was a common business during the Soviet time; not much has changed since then despite economical reforms in Russia. Plagiarists are now as before re-writing and publishing under their names professional manuals and handbooks. Piracy of software is seen as normal business.

Not Pushkin am I, neither Poe,
So great is not my fame.
I am a humble Russian poet,
S. Jargin is my name.
To plagiarize is worse than steal
We love the Copyright,
And by quotations we reveal
The source from which we write.
Great Bear is roaring in morass
And rising up upright,
Reminding Russian writers must
Respect the Copyright.
The Wolf is howling in the wood,
His dreams have flown before –
Deploring that Red Riding Hood
Will eat he – nevermore!
And just alike the fraudster should
Forget his hope and lore
That his unfair practice would
Bring profit – nevermore!
