The Russian song is a Russian Gypsy song called "Gari, Gari" (or "Gori, Gori" meaning "Fire, Fire" or "Burn, Burn") and it was recorded (in an absolutely terrible Russian/English adaptation/mutilation) on an early Limliters album. Hassilev was a member of The Limliters, a very popular folk group.
I believe he also sung it, in Russian, in a Limliters PBS special from the early 1990's. It was taped live in performance in Atlanta.
Theodore Bikel also recorded the song years ago.
Tabs? Sorry, I can't help there.

A great verse of that Tim Evans ballad is:-
They moved him out of c-block
To his final flowery dell
And day and night two screws were there
And they never left his cell
I always think Johnny Cash should have recorded that song. But as far as I know, he never did.
