Hello ev'ryone! In Saturday's feb/8 Helsingin Sanomat there was an article on copyright of Russian/Soviet songs. Interesting enough, they print - among other things - that "Dark Eyes" (Î÷è ÷¸ðíûå) is NOT Russian trad, but composed by a German called Florian Herman (source for this being Martin Tegen, a Swede). According to this site the Russian lyrics are by K.P.Grebenka. Next question, of course, would be: when did these persons live?
