Many viewers prefer TV shows. They especially love Russian police series. And this is not surprising, because it is in these films that the courageous and strong people who daily fight evil are shown. Such series are always popular.
Let's talk about them in more detail.
Background
To begin with, such films enjoyed the attention of viewers in Soviet times. It was then that films were shot on the detectives of Julian Semenov, whose heroes - courageous and courageous Soviet policemen - waged a merciless struggle with the elements of the criminal world.
The fact is that such Russian series about the police (after the war there were a lot of them) aroused genuine interest in the fate of the heroes of the audience.
In this regard, one can recall the famous series, consisting of 5 episodes, “The meeting place cannot be changed”, which caused great interest from Soviet television viewers (the film was shown on the Police Day as a series). In fact, all the films following him repeated the same storyline: a police detachment that fights a gang of robbers or murderers, clashes between law advocates and criminals, surveillance, chases, shots, dramatic collisions.
Simple Soviet people liked all this very much, who wanted to see on TV screens not only the aging leaders who talked about milk yield and the number of root crops, but also people whose life is associated with everyday risk.
Thus, Russian television series about the police fell in love with Soviet viewers since the 60s of the last century. However, a major role was played by one famous series, the name of which became a household name ...
Those same "experts" who are always ready to go into battle
Of course, speaking of the most famous series of the Soviet era, we mean the series about expert police officers who unraveled more than one criminal act. At first, the films were released in black and white, then they began to be shot on color film. In the series, in addition to the three main characters - an investigator, an investigator and a female expert - a lot of famous actors were shot. Plots were written by famous playwrights, many episodes evoked a lively public response. So, for example, after a series of fake paintings by famous artists and their smuggling abroad, Soviet legislation in this area was tightened.
The series ceased to exist after the collapse of the USSR. Already in the 2000s, the filmmakers tried to shoot several new episodes, but they could not pay for themselves financially.
Contemporary films
However, the country in the 90s needed its heroes, not bandits from the highways, which were numerous in those turbulent times, namely, police heroes.
And so the series appeared, its creators dedicated to the broken lanterns and the streets on which these lanterns were supposed to stand.
Russian police series got a whole new context. Now the heroes of these series were not ideal people, they lived on a beggarly salary, experienced everything that happened to the country, but did not lose their honor and courage.
The series immediately fell in love with the viewer, the songs from it became hits, and the creators were able not only to more than pay for their project, but also to mount several hundred episodes.
Thus, Russian television series about the police began to appear on the screens more and more often. To us we can carry the famous "Cops", "Sniffer", "Trace" and more. And although some of them were shot on Western remakes, interest in them is still quite large.
Female series
Russian films-series about police were enriched in the early 2000s with a new genre, which includes a female series. The fact is that the main heroine of this series was a woman - a real Amazon who waged a ruthless fight against the underworld. This was a peculiar innovation of the last decades, because even in the Soviet TV series, the heroes were men, not fragile ladies.
However, such a plot move came in handy. Viewers liked the movies. The main heroine of the painting “Secrets of the Investigation”, Maria Shevtsova, who investigated bloody and complex crimes from series to series, became especially popular.
The practice of television shows that Russian police series continue to be popular (2016 brought several new and interesting works, for example, the series about the black cat gang, which premiered on Channel One).
