Elgar Enigma Variation mystery solved?

Maybe the tune that runs through the whole of Elgar's famous variation is:

The "Song of the Volga Boatmen."

ATB from George
 
Look up Song of the Volga Boatmen on youtube - Red Army Choir. The performance will not link, but exists!

ATB from George
 
I guess that solves the first 3 notes. Of course Elgar did interchange the minor and major 3rd throughout...but the first iteration is minor to be fair.
 
The so called correlation with Mozart is also only three notes!

I would say Elgar was pulled our collective legs!

Best wishes from George
