From September 4th the show will have some changes.
First, the contestant has a chance to choose the game version he/she will play. If the contestant chooses the old version, it's a classic game (3 lifelines, 2 safe levels). Another option is to select the new (risk) variant as in German version. The contestant has only 1 safe level at his/her choice but an additional lifeline appears. It's Double Dip but here in Russia it's called "a possibility to make a mistake".
I think they saw some info about Drop because after question 5 the host will give the contestant real money (not cheques, as earlier in 1999-2001). If the contestant decides to continue the game, he/she returnes the money to the host. This is a rather unique element for Russian game shows.
Another thing that has been changed is phone-a-friend. I's the mix of the old lifeline and the "extended audience lifeline" from German version. The contestant has a chance to select whether he/she will phone one of his/her own friends as earlier, or ask someone from the audience to phone their friends (or, for example, their friends sitting behind).
The studio lighting is more interesting now. Earlier just a couple of colors were being used, but from now on each question difficulty level is assigned with its own color - the first 5 questions will see the studio green or sky-blue, whilst questions 11-15 will "color" the studio to dark blue.
There is no more "fastest finger first".
