I listened to Radio Moscow World Service on Shortwave just to hear this:

Moscow Nights

[Fiji Hill]

The tune's title, "Podmoskoviye Vechera" means "evenings in the Moscow suburbs." When I was in Moscow in 1972, it was used as the call sign for Radio Moscow's domestic broadcast service.

The call sign for international broadcasts was Shiroka Strana, Moya Rodnaya (vast country, my homeland), a patriotic song introduced in the movie "Circus" (1936), which is about a black child rescued from the segregated American South and brought to the Soviet Union to be raised as a New Soviet Man. The song is still popular, although they probably no longer sing about writing the Stalinist code (stalinskii zakon) in big golden letters.
