According to Boris Burda, the first editor-in-chief of the program, in the Russian version the questions were calculated not so much on pure knowledge, but rather on the ability to think logically, which also distinguished it from the American original.
In the history of the television game, the maximum number of points in one game (120 001) was scored by Aleksandr Druz.
From the release of August 8, 2015 until the end of 2018, the scheme of the program was close to the original version - the winner of one game goes to the next and so on until he is defeated.
Since the fall of 2001, the game has grown by one more round, sound accompaniment has been introduced to introduce themes to the game and participants, and academic confederates have been canceled.
Director of the VGTRK production center Pavel Korchagin was directly involved in the purchase and appearance of the program on Russian television (in 1993-1994, he served as president of Video International, the future producer of the program).
