Chasidic russian song

Anybody knows the source (when and by whom created,
or an old book, where it maybe printed)
of a Chassidic song in Russian:
Ne boyuc' ia nikogo I am not afraid of anyone
I ne veryu nikomy, and I don't believe anyone
~~~~~ ~~~~~~
Tol'ko Bogy odnomy only to Hashem
Net,net nikogo There is nobody, except Hashem Ehad,
krome boga odnogo , etc.
etc.
It seems to be a phylosophical problem with the underlined
line , it would sound better :
I ne veryu v nikogo and I don't believe IN anyone.
Thus it would be OK for a Jewish Credo, but as it is sung,
it means, that "I dont trust anyone except Hashem", which
for me is more Russian mentality (in it's worst part, please
dont flame), than Jewish...
If anybody can give me a source, or have an opinion on this logic,
I would appreciate it.
