Dear Denis,
The song is called "????????? ????? ?? ?????" ("Sprjatalsja
mesjac za tuchku"). According to one web page, the music is by an "?.
?????????????" (E. Peterburgskij). In any case, I also found a
photograph of the sheet music as interpreted from "Moscow gypsies" in the form
of a zipped file on the net. It says there are two pages, but only one page
downloads... perhaps I am missing something.

You can also download it in the version sung by Strongilla Shebbetaeva Irtlach
(?????????? ??????, 1902-1983) for 18 glorious cents.

Also, for those interested in things literary, besides Cherry Orchard, this
romance is also mentioned in ?????????????? ????
(Admiraltejskaja igla) by Nabokov.
I hope this helps,
Alec
