It sounds horrible. It reminds me of Turkish popular music of 1970’s.

One wonders at Tolstoy’s reaction, though I have to expect he would have enjoyed the spectacle!

Thoughts on this: the text, passionate (and dark), but that is Leonard Cohen. He also lets the light gleam through.
He lived on Paros for years, and uses a Greek
dance pattern for the music (sourced this online).
The music used in the Russian language video
clip is somewhat like Schostakovich in flavor.
It is on youtube.

The film clip is quite beautiful cinematically and the song is pretty good for its genre, but the two just don’t really fit together well, in spite of the lyrics being related to the visuals.
