Damn it, I'm going to tell you everything about covers! It's my favorite topic...
Aria.
"Bespechny Angel" (by the way, I don't like it in the original), "Probil Chas" ("Return of the Warlord" in the original) - both of these songs appeared on the "Shtil" album (NOT a numbered one) - which was positioned as a collection of rarities. For example, there's "Shtil" with Udo Dirkschneider (U.D.O band), "Poteryannyi Rai" with an orchestra, "Geroy Asfalta" with a solo by Kholstinin (and not Mavrin, as in the original), a long version of "Angelskaya Pyl," "Mashina Smerti," and "Dai Ruku Mne" co-written with Alexey Strayk.
Therefore, discussing the "Shtil" album in terms of plagiarism is ridiculous.
I don't listen that closely, but I know there are only 7 notes, so something will definitely sound similar. In my opinion, there's only one clear case of plagiarism: "Korol Dorogi."
In 1993, when Iron Maiden came to Moscow, Vladimir Kholstinin talked to Steve Harris, maybe about using some memorable riffs to attract metal fans in Russia.
That's all about Aria, I think. Oh, wait. "Geroy Asfalta"... It's the only album, besides the "Labirint" album by the Master band, that I have completely on my player. The entire album is an example of how metal should be done. And, by the way, there are only 6 songs because they are long, and on one record (yes, you're not surprised - before "Igry s Ognem," they mainly released records), the time is limited. For comparison, "Maniya Velichia" and "Kem Ty Byl?" have the same amount of music time...
Again, you brought up Children Of Bodom. They have only one cover song on Maiden. They never covered "The Trooper"!

For those who are not good at English: I asked a question on their OFFICIAL website and received an answer.
I think that's all for now.
