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.

Оконное стекло (The windowpane)
 
мне холодит ладонь (chills the palm of my hand)

И не могу понять я: почему? (I can't understand why)
 
Удерживать его (If I hold it back)

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)

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)

Жарко греет, да не тех (It warms the wrong people)

He received no 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]

The video's white "22" logo indicates that the snippet was likely recorded in the first few years of the NBN's existence, as it was originally known as Channel 22 from 1996-1997.[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).[7] 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.[8][9] 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.
