This definitely has loud cold war political innuendo; although a love song cannot be ruled out. The suggestions go as far as this being Nixon's invitation to (Nikita) Khrushchev to 'come to the other side'. "Just look towards the west and find a friend” Great song. and definitely in the Russian context Nikita is a male name- adding more relevance therein :-)
