It is best known for producing the television programmes Wait for Me, designed to help people find loved ones and Pole Chudes which is a popular Russian version of Wheel of Fortune.
VID is known both for its logo, which has attracted controversy and popularity in equal measure for being visually creepy and austere and its wordmark, which uses the latin D instead of the Cyrillic Д, so the logo appears as ВИD as opposed to ВИД.
History
The VID company was founded in 1990 by Vladislav Listyev in the course of seeking funding for a television project known as Vzglyad, means "glance" in Russian as the show was intended to be a critical glance on Soviet political life. VID was not able to obtain a separate channel but instead had to base itself on the state Channel One. Listyev later found some other programs including Pole Chudes, Theme, Rush Hour, Star Hour and Guess the Melody.
In 1995 Listyev went to work on ORT. He was later killed in an incident of which full details have never been provided. His killers were never found. On March 2nd, ORT (Russian Channel One) Broadcast nothing but a still image of Listyev with the subtite 'Vlad Listyev has been killed'. Aleksandr Lyubimov then took his place as head of VID.
VID allowed many celebrities to advance their careers: Sergei Bodrov Jr. was the dictor of Vzglyad after Listyev and Lyubimov, Leonid Yakubovich became a comic figure due to his Pole Chudes appearances and Valdis Pelsh was the dictor of Guess the Melody (himself being a musician). Now the program Wait for Me is led by actor Igor Kvasha.
