The song was performed by the Big Children's Choir as the theme song for the series, it was composed by Yevgeny Krylatov with words by Yuri Entin. The song's popularity soon separated from the miniseries, and it became iconic in its own right; it was widely performed by various choirs and sung in everyday life. It was one of the BCC's big 1980s hit songs, and was covered by the Soviet musical trio Meridian within months of the series finale at the request of its composer, this cover version in the style of the bard movement of the early 80s would also be a sensation, being featured in the 1985 Pesnya goda festival finals.

"I want to hear the real Star Trek theme"
*Star Trek theme Plays*
"I said the REAL Star Trek theme"
*This plays*
"Perfection."

引用一段薛范先生的话：


因为所有作品中都跃动着一股使人奋发向上的力量；
因为理想主义的光辉，永远不会在我们心中熄灭！

This song feels so sad, but at the same time manages to give so much hope and motivation... It's so beautiful

Я изучаю русский язык уже более пяти лет. Но я чувствую, что только открыв и послушав это, я наконец понимаю русскую душу.

[Russian_Comrade]

My favorite song from my favorite movie. That's a combo right there!

Hello I'm from Indonesia. Me and my friends used to sing this song in the school choir

Everytime I hear this song, I can barely breath and feel heart breaking. Those idealists looked for that wondrous future just found cruelty in the end. It seems some of them already felt whats waiting in the front, but too late to turn around and they don't want to go away, so they match to the miserable future with this funeral song composed for

Странная метаморфоза, 40 лет назад пели эту песенку с улыбкой и светлым взором, всем классом, на уроке пения, с желанием и с душой. Сегодня слушая эту песню, плачу навзрыд, как будто умер кто-то близкий и родной, как будто жизнь закончилась.

[Josephine_Gamerian]

"oh wondrous future, please do not be cruel to me"
this hits hard as a teenager.

Эта песня прекрасна. Я ни разу не слышал настолько красивой и всепроникающей песни.
Она прекрасна, вызывает ностальгию у каждого. Воспоминания из прошлого, которые всплывают при прослушивании - индивидуальны, но само чувство ностальгии - объединяющая.
Сама мелодия меланхолична. Её играют не на традиционных музыкальных инструментах, её играют на струнах души - это инструмент, а муз.инструменты лишь способ этой игры.
Но вокал и текст добивают.
Песня же не про космос, но она космическая.
До ужаса прекрасна, жаль такого больше не делают...

Melody and lyrics, both which bring me to tears and longing for a future that pertains to a nevercoming past

[masterchief]

I love that you end the video with a footage of the joint US-Soviet mission. Astronauts and Cosmonauts are daring heroes in my opinion, no matter what country they come from.

[hubril]

I wish for a world without discourse, hate, and war

I wish for a world of peace, love, and friendship

I wish for a world full of exploration, discoveries, and promise

I wish for a wondrous future

[vietnameseboi]

damm the Soviet dream
also made me remember my time as a Pioneer in HoChiMinh Youth Pioneer Organisation
damm now that Future hit me hard

[playerfromsomewhere]

As from soviet former republic, i dont understand it but still, makes tears if you hear its chorus

[PurgedDH]

This song may sound like a piece of the past, but it is a message to the future.
We can still make things better. We can still ensure humanity prevails over all else.
We can push for unity on Earth, and to repair the damages that we have caused to her.
Then, we can focus on traveling the stars, spreading humanity across the universe and building solidarity wherever we may go.

[channeldmitry]

This is the best song I've heard from my most favorite movie of all time

[yujoe]

Respect all the people from aerospace industry, no matter which counties they are, all of them are donated there life for human's future

[accurion]

Таких песен не хватает нашему обществу...
