We Haven’t Been Home for a Long Time (1945)


Vladimir Bunchikov. With Vladimir Nechaev. Music: Vasilii Solov’ev-Sedoi. Lyrics: Aleksei Fat’ianov
Description: The popular song-writer duo of Fatianov and Solov’ev-Sedoi produced this song in the last months of the war, when it became an instant hit. It was soon, though, that Fatianov fell subject to the same purge of the literary world that claimed Zoshchenko and Akhmatova. It would be quite few years before the song was heard again.
