Just before the beginning of the Great Patriotic War Aleksei was called up for military service. But his rare speciality was taken into account and he was sent to the Song and Dance Company in the military district of the Oryol City.

Without any exaggeration Aleksei Fatyanov performed his feat of arms: he created the whole list of songs of the highest art expressiveness. His songs were accepted and sung by Russian people all over the country.
