Moy Bluzhdayuschiy Ogon

Мой Блуждающий Огонь, also known as My Wandering Fire, is an unsolved lostwave.

Background

It was originally posted to VK by Alexander Alexandrov. He joined the group Good Old NBN, NBN+TVC, Rambler and asked the community if anyone knew the name of the singer or had the full video.

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.

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.

On April 14th 2023, the video was uploaded to YouTube by Anon0122, leading to a gradual rise of interest to the search.

The search is mostly conducted in Russian on Anon0122 Telegram channel, as well as his Discord server.

Singers that have been directly ruled out or are considered highly improbable include: Natalia Shturm, Olga Favorskaya, Lena Zosimova, Irina Borisova, Galina Romanova.

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.
