'3 September' was first performed by Russian chanson singer Mikhail Shufutinsky in 1993, with music by Igor Krutoy and lyrics by Igor Nikolaev. For years it was a sentimental radio staple, then in the 2010s Russian social media turned its calendar-flipping chorus into an annual meme. Every September 3rd users post the song, Shufutinsky portraits and page-turn images, treating the date as a recurring in-joke. The tradition has kept the clip circulating far beyond its original chanson audience, resurfacing each autumn.

Mikhail Shufutinsky's 3 September song clip, the Russian chanson turned yearly meme when the calendar flips to that date and the day seems to repeat again.
This is a short excerpt from the Russian chanson '3 September', sung in a deep, melancholic baritone over a slow, sentimental arrangement. The singer reflects on turning the calendar page and finding the same date again, a line that has become instantly recognisable in Russian-speaking internet culture. The mood is nostalgic and slightly dramatic, which is exactly why it works as a joke — a grand, heartfelt lament dropped onto an ordinary date. Listeners hear both a genuine love song memory and a knowing, seasonal punchline.
