The observer of the newspaper Kommersant Arina Borodina in May 2005 noted the following: ^[1]

The Russian audience, unlike Muscovites, last week only watched serials actively. If you take all the program exits for the week, then in the Top 20, the Russian audience has only series among the priorities. [...] Moreover, all the leading serials go on the channel "Russia". For the second week in a row, the most popular adventure series “Fighter” remains among the country's viewers (it also leads in the capital). All four episodes became the most popular projects of the week with an average audience share of more than 40% (its rating is growing steadily). A little inferior to him is the action-packed series “Obsession” (it precedes “The Fighter” and strengthens the dynamics of the latter), whose share in the country is more than 35% on average. These two premieres even pushed the recognized leaders of recent months to “Carmelita” and “Healing with Love”, although the proportion of the audience of these more than serial films is still around 40%.
