Alla Pugacheva cover[]

Pugacheva's cover was written by Andrei Voznesensky as "Million Scarlet Roses" (Миллион алых роз, Million alykh roz),[1] and Voznesensky drew inspiration for the Russian lyrics from the life of Georgian painter Niko Pirosmani who allegedly[clarification needed] once filled with flowers a square of a hotel where Margaritta Dé Sevre, a French actress[who?] whom he had affection over was staying.[2][3] The song is also the opening and title track of Pugacheva's album of the same name released in Japan in 1983.[4]
