"Mezh Vysokikh Khlebov Zateryalosya" (Russian: Меж высоких хлебов затерялося, lit.
"Amid the Tall Grain Lost from Sight") is a Russian song based on a poem by Nikolay Nekrasov.
[4][5] The song focuses on the rural funeral of a young man, a city-dweller who shot himself dead.
The peasants associate police, trials, money, and power with the opposite, "hostile space" of the city.
[11][12] The song was popularized by some well-known Russian and Soviet singers, e.g. by Vadim Kozin,[13][14] by Ivan Skobtsov[15] and, in particular, by Lidia Ruslanova.
