'''Мoй Блуждающий Огoнь''' (transliterated as '''Moy Bluzhdayuschiy Ogon''', also known as '''My Wandering Fire''' in English) is a Russian pop song. It was recorded in 1995 and was performed by a singer named Natalya Verich (born Yablonskaya). The music video was aired by Saint-Petersburg's Channel 22 — NBN.


NBN was a Russian TV channel that served the Saint Petersburg area from 1996 to 2007. The white "NBN" and "22" logos in the video point to the snippet likely being recorded in the first few years of NBN’s existence.
On July 16th, 2024, a YouTube user named EugeneRFR discovered the artist's name after contacting an employee at the Russian Authors' Society, who identified her as Natalya Yablonskaya. This was confirmed on July 31st, 2024, when First Music Publishing Ltd, a Russian music publishing company, also claimed her as the artist.


According to the registry of the Russian Authors' Society, the song was written by the composer Viktor Sigal (a.k.a. Viktor Chayka) and the lyricist Viktor Ionov (a.k.a. Viktor Ionov-Dolgusha). The full lyrics were published by Ionov-Dolgusha on his personal page in 2010.
== Origins (1999-2020) ==
On December 29th, 1999, user Dmitry Sokolov posted the song's chorus lyrics to the FidoNet forum, asking for the singer's name as well as the full lyrics. He did not receive a response, and the search was not continued back then.<ref>https://groups.google.com/g/fido7.su.music.lyrics/c/Fm0W-HQUDU0/m/NaEQPrcF_aMJ</ref> The user was contacted and stated that he had no information about the song other than the fact that it aired about once a week.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/MojBluzhayuschijOgon/comments/1dodzwj/man_who_searched_for_mbo_in_1999_on_fidonet_found/</ref>


On April 14th 2023, the video was uploaded to YouTube by Anon0122, leading to a gradual rise of interest to the search.
On May 24th, 2017, the song was posted by VK user Alexander Alexandrov, joining the group "Good Old St. Petersburg NBN, NBN+TVC, Rambler" and asking if anyone knew the singer's name or had the full music video.<ref>https://vk.com/topic-47827255_29249186?post=6</ref> Alexander was contacted to see if he still had the tape, but he confirmed that his tape recording no longer exists.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Lostwave/comments/1cmj872/moy_bluzhdayushiy_ogon_my_wandering_fire_update/</ref>


The search is mostly conducted in Russian on Anon0122 Telegram channel, as well as his Discord server.
From 1996 to 2007, NBN was a Russian television channel that broadcast in the Saint Petersburg area. The video's white "22" logo indicates that the snippet was likely recorded in the first quarter of 1996, as it was originally known as Channel 22 in January-March 1996.<ref>https://telepedia.fandom.com/ru/wiki/NBN</ref>


Singers that have been directly ruled out or are considered highly improbable include: Natalia Shturm, Olga Favorskaya, Lena Zosimova, Irina Borisova, Galina Romanova.
According to the Russian Authors' Society registry, the song was written by composer Viktor Sigal (Viktor Chaika) and poet Viktor Ionov (Viktor Ionov-Dolgusha).<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/MojBluzhayuschijOgon/comments/1d1p281/comment/l65loe8/</ref> Ionov-Dolgusha published the full lyrics on his personal website in 2010, confirming that he wrote the song, but it is impossible to contact him as he died on May 25th, 2011.<ref>https://www.realrocks.ru/ionov_dolgusha/lyrics/65310/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/MojBluzhayuschijOgon/comments/1d8q88a/victor_ionovdolgusha_confirmed_dead_may_25_2011/</ref> According to the YouTube upload's description, Viktor Chaika was contacted by an unknown person in 2018 and stated that he did not know the woman in the video.


On May 17th 2024, someone registered a YouTube account with the name Irina Kudryavina and claimed that she was the singer in question. She stated that she had worked for NBN in early 1997 and the video was shot by the channel crew just to fill the gaps in the broadcast. "Irina" also named a few locations in St. Petersburg where the video was allegedly shot, adding that she was not the only NBN employee with such music videos. Since her claims didn't seem very specific and her personality was virtually untraceable on the Internet (the only person with such name seems to have moved to St. Petersburg much later than the video was shot), she was asked to contact one of the investigators directly. However, she declined to provide any further details and deleted her account.
On August 31st, 2020, VK user Alexey Garyavin posted a complete list of songs by composer Viktor Chaika, and the song appears at number 29 under the title "29. Wandering Fire (v. Viktor Ionov) sung by ?", prompting searchers to examine the list for a possible singer.<ref>https://vk.com/wall1519981_30658</ref>
 
On December 17th, 2020, danceforum.ru user Konan posted Alexandrov's snippet in a thread dedicated to song identification.<ref>https://danceforum.ru/index.php?showtopic=43446&st=180&p=988287&#entry988287</ref>
 
== Search (April 2023 - July 2024) ==
On April 14th, 2023, YouTube user Anon0122 first uploaded the video on YouTube, causing a gradual increase in interest in the search and offering a 50 euro prize to anyone who could find the full song.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poSG8eoCG5c</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxnVsCLtMVvVOk8MG7l0M-LrSVjrj2_Z2A/</ref> The search is mostly conducted in Russian on Anon0122's Telegram channel and Discord server.
 
On June 5th, 2024, searchers discovered an article from 2001 where Viktor Chaika states that he destroyed his solo album "Lonely Woman" after it had already been recorded, implying that this song may have been similarly destroyed and unreleased.<ref name=":02">https://www.intermedia.ru/news/123802</ref>
 
On July 23rd, 2024, the OP Alexander Alexandrov was contacted again and claimed that he might still have the VHS tape containing the full recording, and that the recording of the music video that is available was shot in the 2000s with a Samsung Vita phone.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/MojBluzhayuschijOgon/comments/1eagpsf/op_aleksandr_aleksandrov_speaks/</ref><ref>https://mbo.fandom.com/ru/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%B1%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B4%D0%B0%D1%8E%D1%89%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%8C_(%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BD%D1%8F)#23_%D0%B8%D1%8E%D0%BB%D1%8F_2024_%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B4</ref>

|Оконное стекло (The windowpane)
мне холодит ладонь (chills the palm of my hand)
 
Из мрака я гляжу в ночную тьму (I look out of the gloom into the night)
 
В моём дому никак (In my house)
 
не хочет жить огонь (The fire doesn't want to live)
 
И не могу понять я: почему? (I can't understand why)
 
Удерживать его (If I hold it back)
 
он злостью опалит (It will scorch with anger)
 
Испепелит презреньем как врага (And scorch it with contempt like an enemy)
 
И не простит вовек (And will never forgive)
 
нечаянных обид (for wrongs done to him)
 
Ему свобода слишком дорога (Freedom is too dear to him)
 
Мой блуждающий огонь (My wandering fire)
 
Затерялся без следа (Lost without a trace)
 
В чужедальней стороне. (In a foreign land)
 
Ветер-сплетник иногда (The gossiping wind sometimes)
 
Горький дым приносит мне. (Bitter smoke brings me)
 
Мой блуждающий огонь (My wandering fire)
 
Ярко светит, да не там (Shines brightly in the wrong place)
 
Жарко греет, да не тех (It warms the wrong people)
 
Не за ним ли по пятам (Doesn't it follow him)
 
Ходит мой замёрзший смех (My frozen laughter)
 
Я спички извожу, (I'm using up matches)
 
даю ему сигнал; (I'm signaling him)
 
Хочу быть маяком в его пути (I want to be a beacon in his path)
 
Быть может, он остыл, (Maybe he's cold)
 
быть может, он устал (Maybe he's tired)
 
И вспять дорогу не сумел найти (And he can't find his way back)
 
Конечно, я сама (Of course I'm wrong)
 
во многом не права (I'm wrong about a lot of things)
 
Ведь глупую игру вела с огнём (I've played a foolish game with fire)
 
В камин я заложу (I'll put some dried wood)
 
подсошие дрова (I'll put some dried wood in the fireplace)
 
Мне ночь гореть-горюниться о нём (I'll burn for a night to grieve for him)

Мoй Блуждающий Огoнь (transliterated as Moy Bluzhdayuschiy Ogon, also known as My Wandering Fire in English) is a Russian pop song. It was recorded in 1995 and was performed by a singer named Natalya Verich (born Yablonskaya). The music video was aired by Saint-Petersburg's Channel 22 — NBN.

On July 16th, 2024, a YouTube user named EugeneRFR discovered the artist's name after contacting an employee at the Russian Authors' Society, who identified her as Natalya Yablonskaya. This was confirmed on July 31st, 2024, when First Music Publishing Ltd, a Russian music publishing company, also claimed her as the artist.

Origins (1999-2020)[edit | edit source]

On December 29th, 1999, user Dmitry Sokolov posted the song's chorus lyrics to the FidoNet forum, asking for the singer's name as well as the full lyrics. He did not receive a response, and the search was not continued back then.[1] The user was contacted and stated that he had no information about the song other than the fact that it aired about once a week.[2]

On May 24th, 2017, the song was posted by VK user Alexander Alexandrov, joining the group "Good Old St. Petersburg NBN, NBN+TVC, Rambler" and asking if anyone knew the singer's name or had the full music video.[3] Alexander was contacted to see if he still had the tape, but he confirmed that his tape recording no longer exists.[4]

From 1996 to 2007, NBN was a Russian television channel that broadcast in the Saint Petersburg area. The video's white "22" logo indicates that the snippet was likely recorded in the first quarter of 1996, as it was originally known as Channel 22 in January-March 1996.[5]

According to the Russian Authors' Society registry, the song was written by composer Viktor Sigal (Viktor Chaika) and poet Viktor Ionov (Viktor Ionov-Dolgusha).[6] Ionov-Dolgusha published the full lyrics on his personal website in 2010, confirming that he wrote the song, but it is impossible to contact him as he died on May 25th, 2011.[7][8] According to the YouTube upload's description, Viktor Chaika was contacted by an unknown person in 2018 and stated that he did not know the woman in the video.

On August 31st, 2020, VK user Alexey Garyavin posted a complete list of songs by composer Viktor Chaika, and the song appears at number 29 under the title "29. Wandering Fire (v. Viktor Ionov) sung by ?", prompting searchers to examine the list for a possible singer.[9]

On December 17th, 2020, danceforum.ru user Konan posted Alexandrov's snippet in a thread dedicated to song identification.[10]

Search (April 2023 - July 2024)[edit | edit source]

On April 14th, 2023, YouTube user Anon0122 first uploaded the video on YouTube, causing a gradual increase in interest in the search and offering a 50 euro prize to anyone who could find the full song.[11][12] The search is mostly conducted in Russian on Anon0122's Telegram channel and Discord server.

On June 5th, 2024, searchers discovered an article from 2001 where Viktor Chaika states that he destroyed his solo album "Lonely Woman" after it had already been recorded, implying that this song may have been similarly destroyed and unreleased.[13]

On July 23rd, 2024, the OP Alexander Alexandrov was contacted again and claimed that he might still have the VHS tape containing the full recording, and that the recording of the music video that is available was shot in the 2000s with a Samsung Vita phone.[14][15]

Discovery (July 2024 - November 2024)[edit | edit source]

On July 16th, 2024, YouTube user EugeneRFR claimed that he contacted a representative from the Russian Authors' Society, who claimed that the singer was named Natalya Yablonskaya.[16] On July 31st, 2024, this claim was confirmed after the Russian music publishing company First Music Publishing Ltd was contacted.[17]

On August 2nd, 2024, it was discovered that the music video was recorded on a film set provided by the Russian film production company Lenfilm, and that they helped provide decorations for the set; however, they do not know who ordered the video or decorations.[18]

On September 17th, 2024, user White Floppa contacted the Russian Authors' Society and discovered that Natalya Yablonskaya has another song called "That's the End of Love" (Boт и кoнчилacь любoвь), composed by Alexander Fedorkov and lyricist Valeria Gorbacheva. Fedorkov was contacted and confirmed working with Yablonskaya for a "Song of the Year" event, but couldn't confirm if she sang the lost song as he could not remember her face or voice.[19]

On October 9th, 2024, an anonymous user on Anon0122's telegram channel identified the woman in the music video as "Natalya" from Moscow. The OP proved his claim by providing her profile picture on WhatsApp which is a behind the scenes photo from the music video set.[20]

On October 13th, 2024, during correspondence with Natalya, she discovered a Betacam videocassette tape containing the music video for My Wandering Fire labeled "Yablonskaya's sources".[21]

On October 21st, 2024, Natalya called Igor Cherkasov, a member of a private chat group, to verify the status of two distinct recordings: one is a DAT (Digital Audio Tape) containing only the song's audio, while the other is a 30-minute Betacam tape featuring the complete music video along with the song.[22]

Between November 1st and November 3rd, many images from the music video set were released to the Telegram groupchat,[23][24] after they were digitized by Igor Cherkasov when he met Natalya,[25] whose real name is Natalya Verich,[26] in person to digitize the music video.

After digitizing the song, it was discovered that the DAT audio recording contained another song by Natalya called Passerby from 2000,[27] and another lost song by an unknown man in the style of the Russian boy band, Лaскового мaя (Tender May).[28] The Betacam tape containing the music video was unedited, containing the full behind-the-scenes recording, and the song was only able to be heard in the background.[29]

Natalya confirmed that director Sergey Kalvarsky and cameraman Sergey Dubrovsky filmed the music video at Lenfilm in September 1995, while producer Vladimir Matetsky recorded the song at his studio.[28] She also promised to rerecord the song if the master tapes could not be located, revealed that she did not believe the song was officially released, and stated that she intends to personally contact those involved in the song and video.[28]
