Music on the show


I'm not sure if that many people are going to read this, but here goes anyway. I absolutely love this show, and as you will agree, one of the best things about it is the fantastic music in each episode. Can anyone tell me what some of the songs are, or if there's some kind of music guide for the series somewhere that I can read? I especially would like to know what the very first song in the first episode is, which gets played again in episode 10 when Volk has a dream where him and the Zayats have switched roles. Thanks.

I'm also looking for a few tracks myself. I want to know which tracks play in:

Episode #3 when Volk is using the crane to lift the hare and attempts to put barrels up and climb them to reach it. It's into the episode 6:00 out of 10:00.

you can tell episode 3 is my favorite overall. Kalinka in the end was the best part to me in the whole series.
