It's not about anything that's happened but the tension of desire and waht can't be. Girls at the school where he works fancy him for being youing and handsome and such, so the rumours fly fast when he takes on a protegé [teacher's pet] as they work out of class hours, but although the rumours are unfounded, he finds himself attracted because while she's so young, she's obviously intelligent and interesting. He can;'t show any concern for her because of social politics, and he wishes she'd stop innocently being near him for fear it will make the other girls hurt her and him loose his job.
Just a quick note on Lolita- while it is set in America, Vladamir Nabokov was indeed Russian. The allusion is a bit of a spoiler, but to put is quickly, the narrator loved Lolita from afar for a great deal of their time together, even after consumation as initiated on her part.

I adore this song, for less-than-lovely reasons.
