Producer Korolev explained the introduction of the rating of the series for the understanding of the audience.

The Russian rating of TV series will make it easier for content producers to understand the viewer's request. This was announced to Izvestia on March 24 by producer Maxim Korolev.

"It's very interesting to see which artists are more watchable, themes, directors, locations. <... Having a slice of big data will help me, as a manufacturer, make decisions," he explained.

The producer also noted the success of the series "Sled", which entered the top 100 most popular TV series of 2025 and placed in third place.

"I take my hat off to the producers of the Sled series. I would like to, but I can't — and the guys can't — come up with a franchise that would work and withstand 3,000 episodes," he said.

Korolev admitted that in recent years he has been giving his audience preferences to Russian content, rather than foreign production.
