Total serialization our television started in the late eighties. Pompous procession of serial movie of countless Russian cities and villages prefaced a real masterpiece of Brazilian Gilberto Braga (writer), entitled "Slave Izaura" (78 year), the main role in which played Luseliya Santos (starred in the TV series "Senorita"). From the first series, the film has attracted the attention of millions of viewers throughout the Soviet Union.

Before the blue screen for evening viewing "Izaura" gathered young and old, women and men. About the film argued, we discussed it at work, in trying to be like his heroes in life, and the names of the main characters for a long time sunk into the national memory. And if going on at the time redistribution of the financial pie divided, as before, of people into antagonistic classes, the series brought them back to a common denominator. Learn about the further intricacies in the plight of a young and beautiful slave girl and her difficult relationship with the villain and scoundrel Senor Leoncio (son of Commander Almeida) like everyone.

As we know, and what is it that will end this story with equally poor girl, however, has Mexican descent named Mariana Villareal from the TV series "The Rich Also Cry", which started on the Ostankino television immediately after "Izaura" 91 year (was filmed in 79 th) .  The denouement of history waiting with reverent patience and genuine interest that the URA met almost all the episodes of the series .  A ball of nerves, intrigue, tears, tantrums and amorous sighs, presented in the movie facial features Marianne (Veronica Castro), Luis Alberto (Rogelio Guerra), Esther (Rocio Bankels), Beto (Guillermo Kapitilo) Marisobel and other spun in front of the audience as much as 248 series ! Marianne Love and Luis Alberto eclipsed inflame passions immortal duet Romeo - Juliet .  Political reforms, economic turmoil and financial ruin had been forgotten and pushed to the background .  Now everywhere (at rallies, in transport, in the kitchen) conversations took place mainly on the theme: "Have you listened to what I said in the last series Luis Alberto? "And" Yes, I heard, but I do not remember: he is said to Esther merzavka " .  The series has become a truly national .  At one time in the parliaments of the Union republics, even were heated discussions about the possibility of parents to their newborn children of the names and Mariana Villareal Luis Alberto .  Heroes become heroes, and Esther cursed the latest words .

Third in serial films, conquering the Russian market, has become the series "Wild Rose" with their favorite actors have (Veronica Castro and Guillermo Kapitilo) in the central exhibition .  The main sponsors of the series was a bobble that actors, who played in "The Rich Also Cry" selflessly loving each other mother and son are now brought to the audience as passionate lovers .  Therefore, Russian filmgoers first series of several hundred jarred a transformation, the transformation of the senses .  And so, in general, nothing - all in the best tradition of soap operas: love and hate, and conspiracies, and even frank crime .  Actually, the movie "Wild Rose" finally divided the country into two warring camps, where on the same side were the opponents on the other defenders of the "endless" TV movies .  Opponents are skeptical for yourself noted that this trend is here to stay and fans breathed a sigh of relief in anticipation of new twists and turns favorite genre .

After "Wild Roses" all mixed up in one heap: horses, people, guns .... In country rapid flow gushed "soap operas", distinguished from each other which is no longer absolutely no chance. Most of the series belonged to the caste of Latin America, but began to appear and American serialized melodrama: "Dallas," "Santa Barbara", "Love and secrets Sunset Beach," "Ambulance" and others. It attracts them is the change over the years podnadoevshego plan hacienda plantations and costumed carnival.

At about the same time on the screen comes and the first signs of Russian TV series "The Streets of Broken Lights" - a film that became the founder of Russian police chronicles .  Then, at different times appear "St. Petersburg secrets", "waiting room", "Simple Truth", "hot and others", "bum Lady - Lady Boss", etc. .  As they say, "and rushed" .  From now on, the process of gradual replacement of the Latin American "soap" and the fall of its rating compared with the "soap" US and Russian .  So, the new bulletin site tele-graf results conducted recently (in 2005) of statistical studies showing the level of popularity among the audience of a TV series, and their evidence is not in favor of the Latin American .  The question: "Which TV series do you prefer to watch? "78 people out of a hundred responded that Russian .  27 people prefer to watch Soviet TV series ("Shadows at Noon", "Eternal Call" and so on) .  Latin American soap operas also had a modest fourth place (right after the American and Western European front) and they voted only eight people .  The figures speak for themselves .

It seems that the main reason for the strong spectator sympathy our serial films is not only the fact that the voice of clearance they do not overlap (but, and this is also not the last argument in favor of domestic producers). The reason is not even that they are of better quality than their foreign "tribesmen", though, our authors, and had plenty of time to do some work on the mistakes of foreigners and bring decades of proven formula "absolutely successful series." No. According to these criteria Russian "mnogoseriykam" still far from the same Brazilians or Americans: the quality is poor, and the main plot threads are a rehash of old motifs and taken (bought or stolen) from the already captured overseas counterparts movies. A special feature of our "Opera" is   namely that they are relatively new and "not zatёrty" for the viewer. They are Russian person sees it their own, Russian, not separated by ocean spaces and many time zones the reality (be it a modern life in "not born beautiful" or nostalgic memories of the departed in the past, "Poor Nastya"). Heroes in them "vsamdelishnye" and painfully familiar. Heroes, as they say, from a neighboring yard, so their concerns to the Russian audience more relevant and urgent than somewhere in the distant and little-investigated Rio de Janeiro.

Now almost no competition with other melodramatic soap operas focus is the Russian TV series "not born beautiful." The top lines of ratings it shares with the information or software ("Time", "but" and others), or with a documentary in the research genre ("Secrets of the Ages," "special correspondent" and so on. D.). It seems that the audience finally decided in their choice by betting it on the information supplied from the screen "pictures" do not no secret that from the show (good show) can be found for himself no less than the same news issues.
