Check how well you remember the Russian cult series.
Now it’s hard to believe, but the domestic series “Streets of Broken Lanterns”, popularly received the second name “Cops”, has come a long way to the viewer. Filming of the first season took place in 1995-1996. The basis of the script was the stories of Andrey Kivinov, an author from St. Petersburg, who later wrote the script for another detective series “Deadly Force”. Since Kivinov himself once served in the police department, almost every character had his own prototype in reality. Initially, the client channel of “Streets of Broken Lanterns” was the RTR channel, but the quality of the picture and sound did not suit the management, and it was decided to abandon the show. Subsequently, “Streets …” became one of the first domestic series that could compete with such popular then foreign projects as “Cool Walker” or “Ambulance”. Also, the show can be considered a long-liver of Russian television – at the moment it has sixteen seasons.
