Here's, in my opinion, the best work of Andrei Bakhurin. This one has subtitles in english and has minor graphical changes from the orginal. Highly recommended.

A great story, it could have been a really good film if it wasn't for the bad animation.
::edit::
That didn't sound nice...
I liked the story very much. The animation needs a lot of work, as it is right now it drags the quality of the film down considerately. It's just a lot of arbitrary moved drawings, not animation.

I for one think that his style is great! Esspecially slight turning of the camera which is not easy to do in flash.if it wasn't for the bad animation.

I think it is a great story, poorly told. Too much talk, too little happens. If it is too difficult to do this in Flash, then another animation program should have been used.
I saw a great tip on a website yesterday: only write in a screenplay what you can film. In this case: only write in a screenplay what you can animate. It looks like the creator has tried to compensate for his poor animation skills by an extensive monologue. It is a monologue, supported by limited animation, but not an animation with a monologue in it.
Sorry, but I have seen animatics much better than this.
My 2 cents.

If I'm not mistaken, he did a similar story some time ago about a death in the family; that too was poetic (and a little scary!). I think there are many ways of telling a story, and while his animation is not the best, I try to think of it as an illustrated poem with some movement. It doesn't need a lot of 'snap' if other things compensate (and I thought the backgrounds were nicely drawn).

You can't have everything. Where would you put it?
What it says on his website - is that he wrote the story 6 years prior to making that cartoon. And then he had heard the music that was used in the cartoon and t inspired him to animate the story. I think that the pace of the story really fits this animation.
Here's one of his cartoons without narration:

And one based on somebody-else's music:
