From memoirs of the composer Vasily Solovyyov-Sedy

"One morning the door of my room opened, on its threshold I saw Alexey Fatyanov, dashing, smiling, with a medal on the faded front soldier's blouse. I missed Alexey and his songs! It appears, he received a holiday for work with me, brought two ready songs written to them at the front. Alexey right there read them, and I, having sat down at a piano, in the same morning wrote to them music. It were "Nightingales" and "Nothing was told"."

Alexey Fatyanov so told about how the words of future Nightingales song which in initial option had the name "Also to Us the Spring Came to the Front" were created: "I remember the front. In a big green grove we, soldiers, after just calmed down fight lie, shaking off grains of the earth which was filling up us, and suddenly we hear: after the roar of enemy planes which thawed in the distance, in all throat, kind of approving life, the nightingale zashchyolkat!"
In Fatyanov's archive the draft copy of the poem dated 1942 remained.
