Actually, no one seem to remember that this song's music is borrowed from originally Russian/gipsy song (~100 years old)
"Dorogoj dlinnoju".

It is still performed in Russia. Russian Choir of Mississauga (which I am a member of)performs both English and Russian versions of it.

Actually, Mary Hopkin should be given a credit for reminding Russians about their own song. Her version is fantastic.
