Almost 24 years ago, on October 25, 1990, the first episode of the Field of Miracles TV quiz went on the air. Over its more than 20-year history, the show has become truly popular. Like any such program, it is perceived from the TV a little differently than from the studio itself. Let's find out how it all works...
Vesnyanka Natalya Kornilova writes: Well, which of you has not watched the program "Field of Miracles"? That is, I'm sure that no one watches all the time, but at least once did you turn off the TV at this most rated television time - Friday night?
Eight years ago, as a family, we were forced to solve words every Friday at dinner with the players behind the wheel of fortune. We did this, of course, out of respect for the grandmother who lived with us, and the "Field of Miracles" was for her the second most important TV soap after "Santa Barbara".
I personally was annoyed by everything: this Yakubovich, terribly tired (it’s obvious!) From the lucky ones who came from all over the world, and kisses, hugs, dances, songs, the stupidity of some players who, it seems, don’t even know the Russian alphabet, don’t not to mention just remembering the question just asked by the cynical presenter. And gifts! God, how did they drag it all in: jars of tomato-cucumbers, self-baked cakes, bottles of vodka, moonshine and some kind of infusions; this aunt, wandering, in my opinion, from one channel to another only because she found a rhyme for her village Kokteben and now everything rhymes with swear words, waves a broom at the man's fly, which brings the majority of viewers into indescribable delight!
Yakubovich, apparently, is already sick of all these gifts and souvenirs, songs, dressing up either in a welder's suit or in an Uzbek robe. Where do they put all this, and, most importantly, why do they taste who knows what?
We brought grandmother to tears with our sharp comments, and, most importantly, with the fact that we guessed everything in a row before the players. Disgraceful transfer! Dumb! Yakubovich "mows cabbage" in advertising, that's all! Could have done something smarter!
In the end, the granny, driven to rage, waved a towel at me and said: “You are all so smart, why don’t you go? only there!"
Delov something!
- While they are playing here, I will make a crossword puzzle, but I will write a letter, and - let's go! - I laughed.
I didn’t feel like sleeping, my mood was foolish, I sat down at the computer, in twenty minutes I scribbled some kind of crossword puzzle ....
The poem was concocted “Dedicated to Papa Carlo (L. Yakubovich):
Well, what a normal person
Whether it's a grandmother, a child or a man,
Do not dream in life at least once
Visit the Pinocchio field?
After all, what is the idea of a fairy tale?
Money should not be buried in the ground!
If you feel bad, but you have friends,
Luck is on your heels!
You are not afraid of the cunning cat Basilio,
Squinting into the slits of glasses,
And the fox Alice has weight
Only in a country where there are many fools!
We are not fools, we are all romantics,
Mostly naive dreamers
After all, not only on Earth, throughout the galaxy
Romantics are the creators!
I won’t repeat the letter I wrote now, I didn’t save it, but when they read mine, everyone laughed, including my grandmother. She said then: "Yakubovich will think that we are all some kind of crazy ...". But she gave the go-ahead to send it. Only now I didn’t understand how to send it over some kind of Internet, mail is more reliable ....
We laughed and clicked on "send mail"! The children said: "Well, if YOU are not invited, then everything they have there is a setup!"
And two weeks later, my grandmother was waiting for us at the gate with a telegram and a bunch of excited neighbors: "Confirm participation in the field of miracles program on September 23-24 during the day at 127000 Moscow Academician Queen 12, phone number 2177503 September 21 travel accommodation at your expense-nnn-nnnn-00170900 09/12/19 09.19".
“Hush, hush,” I say, “we’re not going anywhere,” what kind of joy is this? Think telegram!
- I knew it, they fooled around, and they are already waiting for you, they booked a hotel, uh, you are serious people!
We did not expect that the reaction of the youngest son would be like this - he literally fought in hysterics: "I want to visit Uncle Lena in Moscow!" - well, grandmother, of course, added fuel to the fire! Friends laughed at us and twisted at the temple - the grandmother all day, while waiting for us, rang on the phone.
And I thought and decided - let's go, for us the trip is a joke, but what a memory the child will have!
I called and confirmed my participation. We refused the hotel, because our gypsy neighbors gave us the key to their temporarily empty Moscow apartment.
Go....
From the train - straight to the interview!
ABOUT!!! This is perhaps the most interesting part! Now, if the interview was shown instead of the game itself - and you would personally watch it!
No "Gorodok" is included in the semi-finals!
We were gathered in some large hall, there were not enough seats for everyone, because with each player there were from one to ten relatives. By the way, not all the escorts got there, there are not enough invitations. And invitation cards for shooting are somehow sold in advance somewhere.
Filmed five games at once, each with nine people, well, that is, three "triples".
Yakubovich entered to our applause, because we had been waiting for him too long. He said hello and apologized for continuing to talk on the phone. In the second minute, we realized that he was talking to Makarevich. A whisper began: “He is talking to Andrei Makarevich!”, They fell silent, “glued” ears .... Kisilev slipped somewhere through the hall! Mitkova was arguing with someone in the corridor, we did not hear her voice, but we saw through the glass wall how she was waving her arms. Yes, her nose in profile is not like that .... Therefore, always only in full face on the screen ... it's clear!
Yakubovich had already started talking to us, getting to know each other, and we were all looking around, in case we see someone else.
First, he congratulated us all on the fact that we were lucky - out of (in my opinion) 50,000 people writing to the editorial office, they chose one!
“You are one of 50,000!” - said our mustachioed presenter, - “You are already so lucky that, I ask you, do not think about such nonsense now as your possible win! You must help me put on a show! And the prize, winning is no longer the main thing for you. Everything, of course, will be, but take it easy!
Sift everything that you brought, choose only what is really interesting, do not give any bed linen if it is not embroidered by your hands, do not make me eat your food. I don’t have such a strong stomach, I eat before the broadcast. Look at what you may have spoiled, rotten along the way. Do not carry much, even if it is very fresh."
The interview lasted eight hours, until the evening, that is, therefore, it is impossible to tell everything. But, believe me, I have never been to a more interesting and funny meeting!
Everyone demanded attention and in various ways tried to draw attention to their person - after all (and indeed!) For several years they tried to break through here, to get on TV. I was even somehow ashamed when a Muscovite Georgian woman sitting next to me, a mother of nine children, said that for eight years, with a break of two weeks, she sent the same letter in the hope of getting to Leonid Arkadyevich. When she asked if I had been waiting for a long time, I lied that it was about the same .... She felt so sorry.
Yakubovich begged not to broadcast greetings to his daughter Varenka, said that, they say, he would cut it out anyway. Do not say hello to her and his wife, they still do not watch this program, even he himself.
I began to look at Arkadyevich with different eyes. Everything he said and how he behaved was very different from my idea of him.
For example, he begged “ordinary” people: “Greetings and kind words to the boss, chairman of the collective farm, director of the plant, please speak only if you personally know and respect him! then normal people, your countrymen, will fall out of love with you.But call an old teacher, nurse by name, pronounce the name of your small village beautifully and legibly, glorify it, thank the taxi driver who brought you here, do not hesitate to say that you are a shepherd, do not call yourself junior technician! I love you all the same!"
Oh! He began to like me very much. He endeared all people to him, and not by his acting, but by real sincerity, at this meeting this was understandable, obvious.
Earlier, when Yakubovich “break off” some player, even almost mocked someone, I thought with indignation: “Well, boor. Such a cynic! You can’t do this with simple village naive!”
Now I understand - he is TOO reserved! I would actually kill some there: one sits with a calculator - calculates what tax he will pay if he wins a car, how much customs clearance will cost - it may be more profitable to take money; another asks - at least hint, if a carrot is planted in a suitcase, he is the boss, he is afraid they will laugh at home; the third drags by the elbow to the side - "These are the gifts for you PERSONALLY, you will support me ...".
I sat behind the rows on the windowsill next to two men. One is a young firefighter from Tver, Sergey, the second, with awards on his chest, a mustachioed, most pleasant old man from Ukraine, Valery Arkadyevich. We reacted in the same way to this whole “performance”, and quite naturally got to know each other during the “play”.
In short, the main thing is to fool around, knowing the boundaries of what is permitted!
Sweating, tired, with jaws playing on his cheeks, Yakubovich said goodbye to us until tomorrow. Wish you good luck.
Now the directors have invited us to their tables, having divided us into threes according to some pre-prepared plans. But we, me, Sergei and Arkadievich, pestered them with a request not to separate us. We're already a trio! Ripe.
The directors in a conversation with us tried to fish out for themselves something extraordinary in everyone.
At the exit from Ostankino, our entire large company (there are three of us and our relatives) did not want to leave at all. We went to a cafe, sat until midnight, drank champagne for the USSR, then separately for our sisters - Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, our children met, left us and hung out somewhere in the adjacent shops ...
Arkadyevich said that he would constantly call the letter “b” so that the Galina Blanka prize would fall out, Sergey said that he had extinguished the Ostankino TV tower just before that - the prize was guaranteed for him, and my only clue is my eerily funny youngest son Ilya. We have already enjoyed our communication so much that it remains only tomorrow to run to the shooting of "Field of Miracles", and - we can continue!
Each of us said that if he wins a cash prize, he will divide it into three! But with Seryozha, we secretly agreed in this case to give everything to our veteran - Valery Arkadyevich began to fight at the age of 13 in the Navy, he was a cabin boy, was in captivity, well, you understand ....
We all came to the dressing room (and we really need it - we didn’t sleep half the night, soaking the meeting of the republics!), while the men stared at the breasts of the beautiful Rimma (from the three assistants decorating the program), powdered the noses of the ladies, then the children, then the simplest - they combed the men and gave everyone in the ass - it was necessary to hurry, it was stuffy and very crowded in the hall, the audience (the hall) was already sitting there, suffering on some kind of Lilliputian chairs.
In the top three, Yakubovich immediately "knocked out" that calculator. The hall prompted, he tried, but Leonid Arkadievich (well done!) “tortured” him first.
The second "troika" could not start in any way, because the grandfather was crying alone. Former students piled on a cow for him, he brought milk in a five (!) Liter jar, when he left the elevator at the studio, he smashed ... it is impossible to replace, where can I get a five-liter? And the other grandmother will immediately recognize, “bite through” that this milk is not hers, a substitution!
Arkadyevich very intelligently scolded the girl director for the lack of initiative, said that this “troika” would go third, and she would take a taxi to the market for milk and a can. “Call, look, I will calm grandfather!”
Well, we're out! We joked so that poor Yakubovich couldn't stop us, we didn't kiss, we didn't dress him up, but we had so much fun that the whole audience laughed and had fun. When Ilya mine sang “It’s been a hard day’s night” by the Beatles, the presenter “died” to the drum! It's not even "Yesterday", but a complex composition!
We were filmed for about forty minutes, milk and a jar were taken to grandfather for two hours, he was happy!
The third trio came out. There was a “star” in it, from where I don’t remember, either from Perm, or from Penza, I don’t know Russian cities well. Every time a move came to him, he called loudly: "The letter is a soft sign!". He "got" Yakubovich so much that we already began to fear for the fate of the Permian-Penzyak! In the end, the enraged Arkadievich kindly asks: “What, you idiot, don’t you know other letters? Already made me laugh, that's enough!”, he answered angrily: “Why should I tell others GOOD letters?”
This "Solid Sign" reached the final! Lucky fools! And the drum clearly stopped at “car”, but Uncle Leni's reaction was excellent (he is also a pilot) - with his shoe under the table, he slightly moved the arrow to the “gas stove”!
These are the secrets...
We again spent the evening in a cafe, throwing our prizes into a corner under the supervision of children. We said goodbye ... Everyone - on the trains, home ...
The cry of the waitress brought us back from the opposite side of the highway: “Lord, this is the first time I see such “fools”! Take your prizes!
We are still texting: Russia, Belarus (and not Belarus!) and Ukraine!
The worst thing was at home: so many people called us that we didn’t know so much. At work, at my son's institute, in kindergarten, neighbors, we had to tell this story, because the broadcast was not soon, only at the end of October they showed it.
And, it turns out, until this day there were "flowers" ...
Now my aunts just stopped me (I was painted a bright red color!) on the street, the children pointed their fingers, they let me out of the queue in the village council, because I did say hello to my village. Thank God also that on the air our performance was cut from forty to three minutes!
I urgently cut my hair, repainted ... Everything calmed down ...
Since then, "Field of Miracles" I have not watched even once!
And on the eve of the New Year, literally in a day, on Friday, the phone, already not silent, was torn from the news: "Hurry, turn on the first channel - your" Field of Miracles "is repeated!"
I barely survived another month of "fame" ...
Then, two years later, she slightly strayed from the (hidden!) vacuum cleaner received as a prize in the Russian Federation. For him ("soap dish") some unimaginable tax, a fine for late payment and a penalty were required!
And the mammoth, given to Ilya by Uncle Lenya, is in our place of honor above the fireplace!

Domestic version of the American program "Wheel of Fortune"
For more than 20 years, the existence of the program "Field of Miracles" has turned into a popular program. And now it’s hard to imagine that this is just a domestic version of the American show Wheel of Fortune, that is, “Wheel of Fortune”. "Field of Miracles" was "born" in a hotel room. In the book "Vlad Listyev. Biased Requiem” describes that Vladislav Listyev and Anatoly Lysenko “created a capital show while watching an episode of the American program Wheel of Fortune in a hotel room.” The creators borrowed the name from the tale of Alexei Nikolaevich Tolstoy "The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Pinocchio."
The prototype "Field of Miracles" - the American show "Wheel of Fortune" - first aired on January 6, 1975 at 10:30 am on NBC. In August 1980, the program was announced to be taken off the air. But later, the channel's management decided to leave the program on the air and cut David Letterman's show from 90 to 60 minutes for this show. Wheel of Fortune is one of the highest rated shows in American television history.
19 seasons
None of the current series has ever dreamed of such a creative "longevity"! But that's how many - 19 seasons - the "Field of Miracles" had in more than 20 years of history.

The studio changed 5 times
On October 25, 1990, the first release of the Field of Miracles television game with host Vlad Listyev took place in a dark blue studio with a drum of a simple, unpretentious shape, with external handles that look like hooks, and with arrows indicating sectors, a scoreboard with black letters. A year later, in 1991, the studio underwent its first change: the inscription “Field of Miracles” appeared on the wall, and the letters on the scoreboard turned blue. Two years later, in 1993, the drum shrank and acquired an arrow like a compass, as well as several vertical handles. The number of maximum points that a participant could score has increased to 750. Among other things, the music has changed. In this form, the studio lasted another two years. In 1995, when the screensavers and the logo of Channel One changed, the scenery of the “Field of Miracles” show also acquired a new look: the stairs along which the participants descended began to glow, televisions appeared on the steps, where a spinning drum was broadcast, the music changed again. In this form, the studio existed for 6 years until 2001, when the show "Field of Miracles" completely changed its image. Naturally, the studio could not help but change. It was improved, modernized, a new drum with a plasma screen was installed, on which the course of the arrow was broadcast. Finally, the last changes touched the studio 8 years ago, in 2005, when they changed the drum and music. Since then and until now, the design of the studio has not changed any more.

Leader changed only once
Despite 19 seasons and more than 20 years of history, the host of the Field of Miracles changed only once, and this happened exactly one year after the premiere of the program. Then Vlad Listyev passed the "baton" to Leonid Yakubovchiu, who since then, which means that for 22 years now, has been the permanent host and face of the popular show "Field of Miracles".
Anniversaries quiz show celebrates in ... the circus
It has already become a good tradition. So, the 100th anniversary edition of the show "Field of Miracles" was filmed on September 29, 1992 at the Moscow Nikulin Circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard. The holiday program aired on October 23. The quiz show also celebrated its 20th anniversary at the circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard. Surprisingly, but true: the 20th anniversary of the "Field of Miracles" coincided with the 130th anniversary of the circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard. Actually, that's why the management chose this place when choosing a place for celebrations.

"Field of Wonders" marked on the world map
On the account of the "Field of Miracles" there are several exit issues. The first one, which was about Spain, was filmed in Barcelona. It aired on December 25, 1992. The second "road" issue was April 23, 1993. It was filmed on the ship "Shota Rustaveli", which in March 1993 went on its first cruise in the Mediterranean. The third was the Kyiv issue. It was filmed in the capital of Ukraine. It aired on December 16, 1994. There was another purportedly African edition of Field of Miracles, which aired on March 31, 2000. The bottom line was that Leonid Yakubovich led him from Africa. In fact, the program was filmed in their own studio, they were simply rebuilt in an African manner, and ordinary RUDN students played the inhabitants of Africa.
Alla Pugacheva saw off Vladislav Listyev
The prima donna of the national stage participated in the "Field of Miracles" program twice. For the first time, Alla Borisovna appeared in the last issue, which was hosted by Vladislav Listyev. This program aired on October 25, 1991. Actually, on the birthday of the Field of Miracles. For the second time, Pugacheva took part in the festive edition of the Field of Miracles dedicated to International Women's Day. It aired on March 7, 1997.
Elena Malysheva left the "Field of Miracles" in a mink coat
During its existence, the show "Field of Miracles" has presented a great many prizes to its participants. By the way, the stars got it too. So, Elena Malysheva, who participated in the anniversary, 1000th edition, won the program and won a mink coat and a week-long vacation in Venice.
Gifts made to Yakubovich by the participants of the show can not only be seen, but also touched
The museum of the capital show "Semi Miracles", which is constantly mentioned on the air and where Leonid Yakubovich sends all the gifts brought to him, really exists. It is located in the Central Pavilion of the All-Russian Exhibition Center and has been operating for 12 years. There you can find the first box of the "Field of Miracles", all those costumes that Yakubovich tried on on air, numerous portraits of the presenter and much more. It is noteworthy that most of the exhibits can be touched, photographed and even tried on.

Story
The history of the "Field of Miracles" program began when Vladislav Listyev and Anatoly Lysenko rested in an ordinary hotel. The idea of creating the program was born while watching the American TV show Wheel of Fortune. Vladislav Listyev took the name for the program from A. N. Tolstoy's fairy tale "The Golden Key," or "The Adventures" of Buratino.
The premiere of the program took place at the First program TsT USSR on October 25, 1990. The first host was Vladislav Listyev, then episodes with different hosts were shown, and finally, on November 22, 1991, a new main host appeared - Leonid Yakubovich. Leonid Yakubovich's assistants are several female models, including the permanent assistant Rimma Agafoshina, who opens the guessed letters and gives prizes to the players' children since 1996. Later, Listyev appeared in several issues as a co-host of Yakubovich until his death.
From October 25 to December 27, 1990, the program aired on Thursdays at 20:00. From January 1 to May 28, 1991, it aired on Tuesdays at 21:45. Since June 7, 1991, it has been published weekly on Friday evenings. In the case of each holiday, the program goes on the air on the day preceding the holiday, as well as in cases where the working day is transferred to Saturday.
On October 23, 1992, the 100th issue of Field of Miracles was released, which was filmed on September 29 at. In this issue, the finalist lost his car due to a hint from the viewer, after which Leonid Yakubovich changed the task, and asked the violator to leave the hall. The finalist could not answer the question of the changed task, but the prizes won were left to the finalist ..
On November 3, 2010, an anniversary concert dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the appearance of the program was released. The concert took place at the Nikulin Moscow Circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard (created jointly with the Red Square), but this time there was no game as such. In October 2015, Field of Miracles celebrated its 25th anniversary. Anniversary issue dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the program was released on October 30, 2015.
A simple arithmetic calculation suggests that about 12,000 people participated in the program over 25 years. In addition to the usual releases in the studio at the drum, people have repeatedly celebrated their professional holidays: Builder's Day, Doctor's Day, Miner's Day, Police Day, etc. New Year's programs, programs for March 8, as well as fun releases for April Fool's Day have become traditional. . The program is especially sensitive to the Victory Day on May 9th. Annual special issues are always distinguished by special solemnity and brilliance.
Drum
Above the drum, not far from Leonid Yakubovich, there is an arrow that indicates what the player has fallen.
Special sectors
- Prize (P)- the player can choose whether to continue the game or take the prize hidden in the black box. In the latter case, he leaves the game. The presenter bargains with the player for a prize, which can be any thing (from car keys, TV, player, a check for $10,000, vouchers and excursions to a pumpkin, onion, a bottle of vodka, a toy car, slippers). Also, instead of a black box, you can take a cash prize (the player chooses the amount himself). If the player refuses the prize, then it is considered that the player has a sector with 2000 points.
- Plus (+)- the player can open any letter according to the score (if this letter occurs several times, then all are opened). As a rule, the first letter is opened (if it is not already open).
- Chance (W)- the player can call on the phone (the number is given by a random viewer in the studio) to get an answer or a hint. If on the other end of the wire they answer correctly, then a prize is sent to him. If a player refuses this sector, it is considered that he has dropped a sector with 1500 points. Currently, the "Chance" sector is displayed on the reel with the image of a phone.
- Key- the player is given several keys, one of which is from the car. The player chooses one of these keys and tries to open the car door with it. If the key fits - the player takes the car, if not - continues to play. Moreover, this sector can be abandoned, and then the leader offers 2000 points for a guessed letter. But if the player used the sector and chose the wrong key, then the move from it passes to another player. Then an assistant comes up and shows that there really is a key to the car. Currently, the "Key" sector is displayed on the reel with the image of a key.
- Bankrupt (B)- the points scored by the player are burned out, and the turn passes to the next player. If the "Bankrupt" sector falls out twice, the player is given an incentive prize.
- Zero (0)- the points scored do not burn out, but the move is transferred to another player.
- ×2- the points scored by the player are doubled if he correctly names the letter (if there are two letters, then it is tripled, if three - it is multiplied by 4, etc.)
Rules of the game
The game is played in three rounds, each of which involves 3 players and the final, in which the winners of the rounds participate.
At the beginning of the round, the host announces the topic of the game to the participants. All questions in the game will be related to this topic, which can be anything (for example: owls, honey, weddings, iron). Next, the presenter shows the word encrypted on the scoreboard related to the topic, and gives suggestive hints so that the players guess it. The main task of each player is to guess the word faster than his rivals and earn as many points as possible.
The players spin the drum. The first move is made by the player closest to the leader. He can get sectors with any number of points that he will receive if he guesses the letter, or a special (also temporary) sector.
When successful move the player names the letter of the Russian alphabet, which, according to him, is present in the hidden word. If there is such a letter, then it opens on the scoreboard, and the player receives the number of points dropped out (if there are several such letters, all are opened, and points are awarded for each), and can spin the drum again or take a chance and name the whole word. If the named letter is not in the word (or if the move is ineffective), the right to spin the drum passes to the next player. The first player to guess the whole word wins. If the player calls the word incorrectly, then he is out of the game. The word can also be opened letter by letter by spinning the wheel and naming one letter per turn. In this case, the winner of the final is the player who opens the last letter.
Players who win their rounds advance to the final. The player who wins the final round is considered the winner of the game. He can choose prizes for the points earned (the number of points scored by the players is not displayed anywhere, and the amount of points earned by the winner of the game is announced by the host).
With three letters correctly guessed in a row, the player has the right to choose from two caskets, one of which contains money. If he guesses the box, he receives a prize of 5 thousand rubles, which cannot “burn out”.
The player is eliminated from the game if he took the prize (or money for it), or incorrectly named the guessed word.
If two players left, then the rule works for the third three successful moves introduced in 1993. It consists in the fact that the player, after three effective moves, must name the word - otherwise, he leaves the game and does not become the winner of the round. Thus, two or one player can play in the final; the game can also be left without a winner (if the above situation occurs in the final) or even without a final (if this happens in all three qualifying rounds).
In the early 1990s, there was an "insurance" consisting of the following: the participants called it an "accident" (for example: the "Bankrupt" sector fell twice in a row, not a single correct letter was named, the move did not reach at all, etc.), and, if something happened to the participant from which he was “insured”, he received a cash prize. Each trio, final and super-game were held by independent companies.
In early 1991, a game with spectators sitting in the studio appeared, which existed until the fall of 2001.
Since the players are not alone in the studio, there is a possibility of an unauthorized hint. If the host heard a hint from the audience, the prompter is removed from the studio, and the host changes the task.
Super game
After the winner of the game has chosen prizes for the points earned, the host invites him to participate in a super game, where he can either lose everything or win a super prize, a gift from the program and a car in addition to the prizes earned. To play the super game or not to play and leave with the prizes won in the main game - the player decides for himself.
In case of agreement, the player spins the drum to select one of the six super prizes. The host thinks of three words (until August 2006 - one), including one main and two additional ones. After that, the leader gives the player the right to name several letters of the alphabet (the number of letters is called by the leader, usually this is half the letters of the main word, if there is an even number of letters, and half, rounded up, if odd). If the letters named by the player are in all the words, they are revealed. After that, the player is given a minute to name the main word. If he guessed the main word, he receives a super prize, if two (together with the main one), then in addition to the super prize, the player receives a gift from the program. If the player guesses all three words, then he gets a car. If the player does not guess the horizontal word, then he loses all prizes won by points (only gifts and money from two boxes). Sometimes, however, one or more of these prizes will remain with the player at the behest of the host.
For a short time in the second half of the 1990s, the "Field of Miracles" sector existed in the super game among the super prizes. His loss meant giving the player a jersey, cap and his release from playing the super game without losing everything previously won.
Until August 2006, only one word was guessed in the super game. Since September 1, 2006, 2 additional words have been introduced that cross the main one (a kind of crossword puzzle). To win the super-game, it is enough for the player (but in any case it is necessary) to guess the main (horizontal) one. If, after successfully guessing the horizontal one, he also names the vertical ones, then the car wins. If the player guesses the vertical words, but does not guess the horizontal one, then the super-game will be lost.

Program Museum
The program has its own museum, which stores items donated by the participants to Leonid Yakubovich. The Field of Wonders Capital Show Gift Museum was established in 2001, but its idea was conceived in the early 1990s. In the museum you can find the first box of the "Field of Miracles", the costumes that Yakubovich wore, numerous portraits of Yakubovich and much more. The museum is located in the Central Pavilion of the All-Russian Exhibition Center. You can touch most of the exhibits with your hands, you are allowed to take pictures, try on costumes. In August 2014, the museum was closed, but soon, in September 2015, it was opened.
Impact on culture
A phrase performed by Leonid Yakubovich, which ends with an exclamation: "... to the studio!" and, as a rule, begins with the words “gifts”, “prize”, entered into modern everyday speech and is used, in particular, as a stereotypical comment on forums, blogs, etc. It is built according to the scheme: “N - to the studio!” , where N is the object whose provision is required from the author of the previous message. For example: “pictures to the studio”, “evidence to the studio”, “links to the studio”, etc. The phrase of L. Yakubovich “A-a-a-a-car-i-il!” Is also used, which is pronounced, stretching vowels and with a solemn intonation.
Games based on the program
In 1993, based on the TV program, the DOS game Field of Wonders: Capital Show was released. This game has been ported for Android and iOS.
There were also games based on Field of Wonders written for the Dendy console. There were two versions of the game, the first one was released in 1995, the playing field was pink, the presenter was absent, the musical accompaniment (the melody of the drum rotation) was copied from the game Duck Hunt, and the losing melody from the game Wild Gunman sounded at the Bankrupt sector. The second version was written already in 1997 and received a number of improvements, now you play on a black background, more new words to guess, a game mode for two. [ ]
In addition, in the 1990s, a desktop-printed version of the game was created, which is released under license from the television company VID.
At the end of July 2000, the first board version of the game appeared, made according to the rules of 1990-1991. In 2001, the desktop version was updated to version 2000. [ ]
Another game based on the Field of Miracles was called Fortuna, developed by BBG Corporation in collaboration with Alexander Chudov. It was notable for its high complexity. The player, having gone through the whole game, could win a million.
On September 20, 2012, the Field of Miracles game based on the TV program was released by Alawar. At the moment, the computer game is closed.

Studio decoration
In 1996, the upholstery of the table at which the players stood changed from light blue to dark blue, with stars and a characteristic ornament that the entire studio was decorated with, at the same time, the steps that the host went down changed color from blue to dark blue. Multi-colored triangles were placed on the scoreboard, under the scoreboard on a blue surface was placed the logo of the program, written in pale pink paint. There was a small luminous element on the floor near the drum in order to give a background when the image of the drum is shown from above. Decorative lanterns dotted with small white bulbs were placed on both sides of the scoreboard. Since that time, the super-game has been using permanent "minutes to think" music, while from 1991 until the change in musical design there was (as far as possible) silence until 1994. In this year, for the first time, a melody for reflection began to sound.
Since 1992, the drum has remained the same, but slightly modified. In the center of the drum was a small tip resembling the tip of a pike. The arrow has changed, but remained on the drum. Instead of a rod that played the role of a brake, they attached an ordinary plastic strip, similar in size to a twig. The drum rotated a little faster, one handle was missing, one was completely with a different knob (with a black ball, but smaller). In the middle of 1992, sectors were re-pasted on the same drum to color ones. The maximum number of points increased to 450, the minimum - up to 10. Since the fall of 1992, the drum has been changed again, the color scheme has remained the same, the drum now has not one “Prize” sector, but three, the “Alternative” sector has been removed, the number of points has now increased minimum 75, maximum 750.
In the middle of 1993, a new drum was installed, which was 2 times smaller than the previous one, with low vertical handles, the maximum number of points was 750, the minimum was 100; the arrow was already away from the drum and was a blue small triangle. At the tip of the arrow there was an elastic band as a continuation of the arrow, which slightly slowed down the drum. If the brake was on one sector, and the arrow pointed to the adjacent one, then the sector indicated by the brake was counted. The drum rotated much more slowly, stopping quickly and swaying quite strongly due to the fact that it was very heavy: when they showed how many points fell out (the camera showed a close-up of the sector pointed to by the arrow), you could see how the drum vibrated.
Since January 1994, the arrow shimmered with all the colors of the rainbow. On May 5, 1995, in an issue dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War with the participation of its veterans, other handles were put on the drum, essentially the same vertical ones, but higher and gilded, the inner diameter of the drum became smaller, thereby ensuring elongation of game sectors, and visual expansion of the drum. The drum was cut in height (thereby making it lighter), so the drum rotated for a very long time and smoothly from a weak push. Since the drum was spinning for a very long time, the presenter could now communicate with the players for longer. The arrow was again placed on the drum.
Until 1997, the arrow on the drum symbolically caught the vertical handles of the drum, but did not slow it down at all. In 1997, the arrow was shortened so that it points exactly to the sector that fell to the player. For some time in 1997, when the player started to spin the drum, the spin theme music continued to play where it left off (as from 1993 to 1995), i.e., did not start playing again.
In the autumn of 1999, some intermediate chords were cut out of the drum melody, thereby making it shorter, as the drum began to stop faster.
At the end of 1999, a drum with lights on the sides was installed: the drum looked like a prototype of 1993-1999, only much higher and one and a half times larger, with bulbs on the outer and inner radii. In 1999, the values of the sectors were printed on the drum in a rather large font, the coloring of the surface of the inner radius of the drum was, in fact, like the entire drum, black and white, but with very frequent stripes. The arrow was patterned and did not blink, the bulbs on the sides did not burn. The black ones had red lights, the white ones had blue lights. The inner radius of the drum was slightly raised above its surface, since the inner radius also had light bulbs. The drum rotated smoothly and for a long time, like its previous prototype.
On New Year's Eve from 1999 to 2000, in the issue “With the inhabitants of the Middle Ages”, the drum was changed (it can be seen at the beginning of the modern screensaver of the program): the points on the drum were applied in a smaller, familiar font, and the arrow also changed. The color of the surface of the inner radius has also changed: it has become a more familiar wide black and white stripe. The bulbs of the drum began to play rhythmically, at different speeds, when the prize was taken out and rotated - quickly, in the normal state - slowly. The arrow also blinked. The drum began to rotate in much the same way as under Listyev.
On December 7, 2001, the drum was changed. It was light, spinning quickly, but stopped abruptly. The drum had uncomfortable plastic handles, small yellow-blue sectors and a narrowing at the bottom. Multi-colored light bulbs shone through the drum, which lit up during rotation. Unlike all the drums that were in the program at all, including the present, this one was not solid: the drum itself was in a stationary cylinder. The arrow of the drum was a pink small triangle attached to the frill of the drum.
On November 3, 2005 (for the 15th anniversary), a drum was installed in a predominantly blue color scheme with patterns on the sides and blue and white sectors. The bottom of the drum is patterned, and glows blue from the inside. The surface of the drum itself is flat, its diameter is somewhat larger than the bottom of the drum, so the drum is somewhat reminiscent of a dining table (although recently the drum has only served as a table). In the center of the drum is a golden star. The maximum number of points is 1000, the minimum is 350. The drum is heavy, besides, lately there have been various things on it, mainly fruits and sweets, which are in small baskets. The drum is completely loaded with them, only the sectors with the image of points are visible, so it is difficult to rotate it, it spins slowly and stops quickly. Instead of the usual vertical handles - silver balls. The arrow is away from the drum, but at the same time attached to it from below, the tip of the arrow is a large golden triangle. On December 30, 2009, in the 1000th Field of Miracles program, a large cake with the words "Happy New Year" was on the drum. For release on April 1, 2011, all sectors were re-glued to yellow-blue.
On May 20, 2011, the drum sound changed again to the one from 1996 to 1999. In the musical design, music ceased to play, which was a variation of the theme in which super prizes were given out.
Program design
Screensaver
In 1990, there was no screensaver, only the manufacturer's screensaver was shown - VID.
In 1991, the screen saver consisted of the following: first, bright stripes appeared, forming squares, then a light green surface appeared, divided into 35 squares. Figures appeared every second, then the inscription “ Field of Dreams ". After that, the surface narrowed and rose upward, then descended, changing color to gray, in the same form downward, beyond the inscription. Then the background color changed from black to asphalt, and the inscription “K A P I T A L S O U” appeared letter by letter.
Towards the end of 1992, the splash screen was improved. From that time until 2000, the bright bands quickly moved parallel to each other towards each other, thus forming a field of 35 even squares. Further, the field became three-dimensional, gaining volume (and becoming like a chocolate bar), and was grayish-white in color. Under a kind of chomping sound (until 1993 - a dull noise resembling muffled applause), three-dimensional colored symbols of various shapes fell on the field, each symbol eventually occupied one square. Then the main musical motive of the intro sounded, under it a field of squares flew up into the air, rose, and against its background it was written in pink letters “ Field of Dreams ". When the phrase was completely written, the letters became translucent. (Before 1993, the music would only start after the end of writing a phrase). Then the field flew out of the screen (while the music continued), and soon returned, turning over with its back side, which is a regular gray square. At this time, the black background of the screensaver changed to a dark gray, reminiscent of asphalt. The square descended behind the words "Field of Miracles", and then under the resulting composition, the phrase "C A P I T A L S O U" appeared letter by letter. The musical arrangement of this screen saver changed a little in 1993 .
In 1991, after the commercial and before the super game, a blue paper with the word "Field of Miracles Capital Show" flew in. From 1992 to 1995, adverts were preceded by a screensaver with bouncing silver letters and a silver square frame on a black background with two sharp notes.
From 1996 to 2000, after an advertisement in the intro of the program, the game drum rotated, the camera approached it so that no points were visible on the sectors. With each new sector, letters appeared under one sonorous note, forming the words " Field of Dreams". The last time the sector was changed, a golden frame appeared, which, like a square from an old splash screen, fell into the background.
The splash screen, in use since December 29, 2000, shows the game's studio and a flying spinning reel. An image of Yakubovich is formed on the screen from the stars. Then the word “Field of Miracles” is lit by letters, and below, by letters, the phrase “K A P I T A L S O U”. All this happens to a shortened version of the music from the first screen saver, while it sounds twice, first in a jazz style, then, when the letters are lit, in a standard one. .
Musical arrangement
In the last release of 1995, a new musical arrangement was introduced, a new drum melody, almost the same as the previous one, but with softened sounds. Since the drum was spinning for a very long time from 1995 to 2000, after about the first minute, a melody was inserted into the melody, at which super prize indicators were taken out. Changed the melody at the release of the first trio. Changed the sounds of sectors (jingles) of an unguessed letter. Introduced the sounds of an empty and money box. The melody has changed, at which the indicators of super prizes were taken out and placed on the drum. The melody "minutes for reflection" appeared. They replaced the sound of the prize taking out, however, as before, when the prize was taken out, and when the box was guessed, and when the word was guessed, the same melody was played, reminiscent of the fanfares of VID.
Sector splash screens
From 1996 to 2000, the splash screens of the sectors "Prize", "0", "Bankrupt", "x2", "+" have changed. They appeared at the moment when the sector fell out to the player. A close-up showed how the arrow stops on a particular sector. Then a square seemed to fly out from the sector designation, which then stretched to the whole screen, during the stretch, a box appears in the square with the inscription "Field of Miracles", which then falls down, at this moment, when the splash screen itself stretched to full screen, the box turns over and under a rhythmic sound from it jumps out one or another letter-designation of the sector on the game drum (Prize - P, Million - M, Bankrupt - B). .
In January 1998, the "Million" sector was renamed into the "Capital" sector (because of the monetary denomination), at first it did not have a splash screen. When the "Key" sector was placed on the drum in 1999, it also had a headband.
From 2000 to 2003, the splash screens of the sectors changed: "Prize", "0", "Bankrupt", "x2", "+" and "Chance" flew from colored triangles on a dark blue background, and the loss of the "0" sector was accompanied by a sound tube opening.
Supergame screensaver
From 1992 to 1995, super prizes were shown in a square in the screensaver of the super game and the words "Field of Miracles" were formed.
From 1996 to 2000, the supergame intro changed. The square with the word "Field of Miracles" began to rotate rapidly, after stopping in the square, it was already written "Super Game". At 02:18 .
From 2000 to 2011, the supergame intro changed: we see the word "Super" written in lilac letters in the top line, and the word "Game" formed by lit bulbs in the bottom line.
2011 to present uses the same intro as 2000 to 2011, but with music from the 1996-2000 supergame intro.
Rules of the game
The game is played in three rounds, each with 3 players.
The host thinks of a word (rarely a phrase) indicated on the scoreboard, and during the game gives suggestive hints.
In the early 1990s, there was an "insurance" consisting of the following: participants called an "accident" (for example: the "Bankrupt" sector fell twice in a row, not a single correct letter was named, the move did not reach at all, etc.), and , if something happened to the participant from which he was "insured", he received a cash prize.
Players take turns spinning the drum. Sectors with a different number of points can fall on the drum, which the player will receive if he guesses the letter, or special sectors:
- Prize (P)- the player can choose: continue the game or leave it, but get the prize hidden in the black box. The host trades with the player for a prize, which can be any thing: from car keys to a pumpkin. Also, instead of a black box, you can take a cash prize (the player chooses the amount himself). If the player refuses the prize, then it is considered that the player has a sector with 2000 points.
- Plus (+)- the player can open any letter according to the score (if this letter occurs several times, then all are opened).
- Chance (W)- the player can call on the phone (the number is given by a random viewer in the studio) to get an answer or a hint. If on the other end of the wire they answer correctly, then a prize is sent to him. If a player refuses this sector, it is considered that he has dropped a sector with 1500 points. Currently, the "Chance" sector is displayed on the reel with the image of a phone.
- Key- the player is given 5 keys, one of which is from the car. The player chooses one of these keys and tries to open the car door with it. If the key fits - the player takes the car, if not - continues to play. Moreover, this sector can be abandoned, and then the leader offers 2000 points for a guessed letter. But if the player used the sector and chose the wrong key, then the move from it passes to another player. Currently, the "Key" sector is displayed on the reel with the image of a key.
- Bankrupt (B)- the points scored by the player are burned out, and the turn passes to the next player. If the "Bankrupt" sector falls out twice, the player is given an incentive prize.
- Zero (0)- the points scored do not burn out, but the move is transferred to another player.
- x2- the points scored by the player are doubled if he correctly names the letter (if there are two letters, then it is tripled, if three - it is multiplied by 4, etc.)
- At the end of 1991, a sector was used on the drum Fant (F), the player fulfilled the host's wish.
- From February 1992 there was a sector Alternative (A), the player was given a word of 6 letters, the player rolled a die 6 times, the number that fell out meant the letter of the score that should open, and after that the player had to name the word in order to play further. If he did not call this word, the move was passed to the next player.
- In New Year's time, the sector was used New Year with a snowflake on the drum.
- Also from 1993 to 2001 there was a sector Capital (K)(before the 1998 currency denomination it was called Million (M)), when the player was given two bags: one with bagels, the other with money, and he chose the one where, as he believed, there were three million rubles (after the denomination - three thousand rubles). If a player chose a bag of bagels, then he took the bagels and the move passed from him to another player, if a bag of money, then he took the money, and he still had the right to move, while the participant could name any letter.
- In 1998-2001, the sector was used Scoreboard (T), the player opened special squares on the scoreboard, hoping to find a prize. (Sometimes there are also sectors from sponsors, when they drop out, prizes are awarded)
- Also, from December 1995 to 1997, the sector was used Yunisstroy, for the opportunity to get a new apartment, and in the thousandth issue, which took place on December 30, 2009, there was a sector Nescafe- a new show sponsor.
- The November 23, 2012 issue used the sector Continent. The main prize was a TV .
There were also games based on Field of Wonders written for the Dendy console. There were two versions of the game, the first one was released in 1995, the playing field was pink, the presenter was absent, the musical accompaniment (the melody of the drum rotation) was copied from the Duck Hunt game, and the losing melody from the game Wild Gunman sounded at the Bankrupt sector. The second version was written already in 1997 and received a number of improvements, now you play on a black background, more new words to guess, a game mode for two. What was interesting in this version was that when guessing the letter, Mario appeared and opened the letter.
Another game based on the Field of Miracles was called "Fortune", developed by BBG corp. in collaboration with Alexander Chudov. It was notable for its high complexity. The player, having gone through the whole game, could win a million, but so far there has not been a single winner. Also, each cartridge had its own serial number.

Parodies
- On March 17, 2012, a parody of the third screensaver (2000-present) was filmed in the program “Yesterday Live”, where the opening song sounded in the screensaver: “Dances, poems, lezginka, masquerade, a bunch of bullshit is banal, and the show is somewhere then 20 years ago it was intellectual”, and the intro went at a slow pace, and a shortened version of the music from the intros of 1991-1992 and 1992-2000 sounded 2 times.
- In 1992, in the program “Both-On! "A parody of the Field of Miracles was shown, where the presenter of the real show - Yakubovich - in the real studio Field of Miracles represented drunkards, who were Ugolnikov, Voskresensky and Fomenko.
- In one of the episodes of the program "
Domestic version of the American program "Wheel of Fortune"
For more than 20 years, the existence of the program "Field of Miracles" has turned into a popular program. And now it’s hard to imagine that this is just a domestic version of the American show Wheel of Fortune, that is, “Wheel of Fortune”. "Field of Miracles" was "born" in a hotel room. In the book "Vlad Listyev. Biased Requiem” describes that Vladislav Listyev and Anatoly Lysenko “created a capital show while watching an episode of the American program Wheel of Fortune in a hotel room.” The creators borrowed the name from the tale of Alexei Nikolaevich Tolstoy "The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Pinocchio."
The prototype of "Field of Miracles" - the American show "Wheel of Fortune" - first aired on January 6, 1975 at 10:30 am on NBC. In August 1980, the program was announced to be taken off the air. But later, the channel's management decided to leave the program on the air and cut David Letterman's show from 90 to 60 minutes for this show. Wheel of Fortune is one of the highest rated shows in American television history.
19 seasons
None of the current series has ever dreamed of such a creative "longevity"! But that's how many - 19 seasons - the "Field of Miracles" had in more than 20 years of history.

The studio changed 5 times
On October 25, 1990, the first release of the Field of Miracles television game with host Vlad Listyev took place in a dark blue studio with a drum of a simple, unpretentious shape, with external handles that look like hooks, and with arrows indicating sectors, a scoreboard with black letters. A year later, in 1991, the studio underwent its first change: the inscription “Field of Miracles” appeared on the wall, and the letters on the scoreboard turned blue. Two years later, in 1993, the drum shrank and acquired an arrow like a compass, as well as several vertical handles. The number of maximum points that a participant could score has increased to 750. Among other things, the music has changed. In this form, the studio lasted another two years. In 1995, when the screensavers and the logo of Channel One changed, the scenery of the “Field of Miracles” show also acquired a new look: the stairs along which the participants descended began to glow, televisions appeared on the steps, where a spinning drum was broadcast, the music changed again. In this form, the studio existed for 6 years until 2001, when the show "Field of Miracles" completely changed its image. Naturally, the studio could not help but change. It was improved, modernized, a new drum with a plasma screen was installed, on which the course of the arrow was broadcast. Finally, the last changes touched the studio 8 years ago, in 2005, when they changed the drum and music. Since then and until now, the design of the studio has not changed any more.

Leader changed only once
Despite 19 seasons and more than 20 years of history, the host of the Field of Miracles changed only once, and this happened exactly one year after the premiere of the program. Then Vlad Listyev passed the "baton" to Leonid Yakubovchiu, who since then, which means that for 22 years now, has been permanent.
