A shot from a musical performance based on a famous song from the Second World War. The words were composed by the poet Boris Kovinev to the music of the popular waltz Jerzy Petersbursky "Blue Handkerchief". The song was composed immediately after the Nazi General Staff attack on the USSR (from June 22 to June 29, 1941) and instantly spread throughout the country.

I'm leaving, promise to be
Faithful to you forever.
