Some here are old enough to have heard this song when it was popular around August 1968. Not this version , but this version. > https://youtu.be/QptZ8tYZAkE , A little Russian collusion this morning. Lol !
"Those Were the Days" is a song credited to Gene Raskin, who put a new English lyric to the Russian romance song "Dorogoi dlinnoyu" ("Дорогой длинною", literally "By the long road"), composed by Boris Fomin (1900–1948) with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevsky. It deals with reminiscence upon youth and romantic idealism.
Mary Hopkin's 1968 version of the song, produced by Paul McCartney, became a number one hit on the UK Singles Chart. The song also reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100, behind McCartney's own band The Beatles' hit "Hey Jude". In France the song was at no. 1 in the very first edition of the singles sales chart launched by the Centre d'Information et de Documentation du Disque in October 1968.

Though that is a great year, I was not old enough to have heard it (or known I was hearing it). However, I do remember hearing it in the mid 70s.
