"Zhdi meni Ła"

This is a story of the love between an actress and a poet during World War II. "Wait for me" was the title of a love poem written by Konstantin Simonov, dedicated to the beautiful actress, Valentina Serova, and printed in the "Pravda" newspaper in January 1942. The lyric verses immediately won the hearts of the Soviet troops and millions of others. The verses here both very personal and very patriotic, full of hope for surviving the war, while also glorifying the faithfulness of wives the soldiers had left behind.
