1st Bumper (August 1-September 30, 1995)

Visuals: On a silver metallic paper-like background with multiple copies of the letters "ОРТ" at a tilted angle slowly sliding to the bottom-right, there is a grungy cut out of the background with its white glow at the upper-left side of the screen. Inside a cut out is a dark blue background, on which a light blue flash suddenly occurs, causing it to cut to a quick slideshow of the letters of the word "РЕКЛАМА" (in a tall font) with a TV static inside them, they also have a black outline and a flashing glow. Over these letters is a colorful background with a close-up of an essay in a black typewriter font; the color of the background also varies depending on the shot with a letter (Р - red, Е - purple, К - turquoise, Л - orange, the first "А" magenta, М - blue, and the second "А" - light blue). After a slideshow of the letters, the screen inside a cut out of the background cuts to a TV static with the spaced-out word "РЕКЛАМА" (in the same font) with its golden yellow glow; below the word are the spaced-out letters "ОРТ" with their white glow. Then, the screen inside a cut out remains on-screen for 2 seconds. During the beginning animation of the footage inside a cut out, seven green marble-like cardboards slide in from the upper-right corner to bottom right corner of the screen at a tilted angle, with seven orange marbles attached to them; inside these cards are each white letters of the word "РЕКЛАМА" (in Century Gothic font).

Technique: CGI with 2D computer animation.

Audio: A triumphant note in E major with a cymbal crash accompanied by a hi-hat and claves percussion, followed by three more truimphant notes in the same E major with snare drums.

2nd Bumper (October 1-December 25, 1995)

• 

  Sun

• 

  Hand and Four Body Parts

• 

  Eye

• 

  Four-in-one

Visuals:

• Sun: Over a brown cloudy background is a group of twelve teal squares (representing windows) with moving orange letters of the word "РЕКЛАМА" (in Empire font) with some of their cut out copies, and a moving 18-pointed spiky circle (representing a sun) on the upper-left side of the screen, which has a marble texture. Several glowing golden bars are seen sliding around the squares and letters, while some of the squares appear to be rotating. A two-colored horizontal bar forms in the middle of the screen, with its left side being teal, while its middle-right side being orange. The text "ОРТ РЕКЛАМА" fades in inside a bar, with "ОРТ" being white on the teal part of a bar, while "РЕКЛАМА" being black on the orange part.
• Hand: On a rotating B&W spiral background, there is a right hand from a tilted angle consisting of its nine parts; the top-left part consists of jungle green/lime blobs, the top-middle part consists of abstract colorful geometrical drawings, the top-right part consists of red/yellow glowing colors with its shiny rippling outlines, the middle-left part consists of blurry bright red colors, the middle part consists of a brown color with its bright shades, the middle-right part consists of a yellow color with its bright shades, the bottom-right part consists of a purple color with its bright shades, the bottom-middle part consists of glowing purple colors, and the bottom-right part consists of yellow blobs with its bright shades. While doing a fist, a hand counts with his fingers to five before the screen fills with several scrolling, reflective horizontal bars. Then, the screen flashes to a black barcode with a phone number of advertising below zooming out on a white background for several frames, with some of them having inverted colors. When a barcode with a phone number finished zooming out and the screen stopped flashing, a barcode turns out to be a part of a box (which has two lights shining through it), which turns to the bottom to reveal its upper side consisting of the word "РЕКЛАМА" in black with its transparent shadow. A black box with a cut out of the letters "ОРТ" quickly slides in from the left side of the screen, bumping into the word "РЕКЛАМА", causing it to slide to the right side of the screen a bit.
• Eye: Over a hand-drawn yellow background is an animated opening eye, consisting of an eyeball with a dark purple iris, thick red/purple eyelids, and pink eyelashes. When the eye finally opened, the screen zooms into an iris of the eye, transition into a zooming out dark purple barcode with a different phone number of advertising below on a white background. When a barcode zoomed out, it transforms into the word "РЕКЛАМА" (with a phone number remaining on-screen), with some of its letters' bottom parts being shorter to make a floor for a phone number. The same black box with a cut out of the letters "ОРТ" from the Hand bumper quickly slides in from the left side of the screen, bumping into the word "РЕКЛАМА", causing it to slide to the right side of the screen a bit.
• Four Body Parts: The bumper starts with a slideshow of crude drawings of four moving objects (with three of them being body parts) with their white glow on colorful reflective paperboards and cloudy-like rippling lines on them over a gray cloudy background; the color of a paperboard varies in each shot with an object (a lip - blue, a hand - red, the question mark - yellow, and an eye - green). The screen then fades to the animation of a barcode with the text from the Hand bumper.
• Four-in-one: The bumper starts with four paperboards with crude drawings of objects from the bumper above in one shot over a gray cloudy background; with a paperboard with a lip being located at the upper-left corner, a paperboard with a hand at the bottom-left, a paperboard with a question mark at the upper-right, and a paperboard with an eye at the bottom-right. After a while, a white heavily glowing, moving cardiogram-like line appears, and paperboards are now shaking, while moving to the top and bottom corners to make a room for a line in the middle of the screen. A cardiogram-like turns into a slightly grungy and blurry bar as the footage of paperboards became out-of-focus, and a black barcode with a phone number appears in the middle of the screen via a "blurring" effect before a barcode transitions to the text "ОРТ РЕКЛАМА" (via the same "blurring" effect) in the same style as the Hand and Four Body Parts bumpers. Four paperboards continue to move in the background.

Technique:

• CGI animation for the Sun bumper.
• 2D computer animation for Hand, Four Body Parts and Four-in-one bumpers, with CGI graphics for the barcode box (excluding the third bumper).
• For the Eye bumper, digital ink-and-paint traditional animation for an animated eye, and 2D computer animation for the rest.

Audio: Each bumper has its own music variation.

• Sun: A peaceful flute/string theme with piano notes.
• Hand: A peaceful string tune with xylophone and piano notes.
• Eye: Same as the Hand bumper, but the ending sounds different.
• Four Body Parts: A truimphant/string tune with piano notes sounding similar to the Hand and Eye bumpers.
• Four-in-one: Same as the Four Body Parts bumper, but slightly rearranged.

Visuals: The whole bumper has a mirrored side of its right side of the screen. It starts with a black screen fading into a dark golden cloudy-like background. Then, the word "реkлама", in white with its dropshadow, rotated clockwise 90°, emerges from the middle of the screen and slides to the right off-screen. During the animation of the word, an animal or a human also emerges and slides to the right side of the screen. The "ОРТ" letters of the logo of the time (which aren't mirrored), in white with their dropshadow, fade in near the middle-top of the screen.

Variants: An animal or a human emerging from the right varies depending on the bumper.

5th Bumper (October 4, 1997-October 2, 1998)

Visuals: Against a light blue background consisting of icy patterns with colorful lights, the camera slides to the right at a fast pace (or remains still through out the entire bumper) to reveal one or two clowns doing certain funny things or activities. After they dissapear, a slightly tilted spray-painting-looking text "РЕКЛАМА", in white, fades in the middle of the screen. A tilted black text "реклама реклама реклама" appears via a "blurring" effect, while streching out over the text "РЕКЛАМА".

Variants:

• The clowns' disappearence may be either fading out, sliding to the bottom, or exploding into confetti.
• In some of the variants of the bumpers, the clowns' objects may remain on-screen after the clowns' absence, and sometimes, they might also disappear.
• In the short variants, the clowns were absent; and instead only the text remained in the bumper. There are several bumpers with the text:
  • Three bumpers simply have various appearances of the word "РЕКЛАМА" and the text "реклама реклама реклама" appearing via the same "blurring" effect. The first one has the camera sliding to the right to reveal the text, the second one has the text drawing itself letter-by-letter, and the third one has the text falling down to its place.
  • There are also two other bumpers:
    • The first one begins with eight different styles of the word "РЕКЛАМА" (in various fonts and textures), sliding from each corner around the screen until the normal word "РЕКЛАМА" falls down to its place as they fade out. The text "реклама реклама реклама" appears word-by-word.
    • The second one begins with several wide and tall copies and letters of the word "реклама" flying from each corner and hustling to the middle of the screen. After a while, they fly out off-screen to reveal the normal text "реклама реклама реклама" against the word "РЕКЛАМА", which zooms in a bit before the black text shakes a bit.

Technique: A mix of 2D computer animation and live-action produced by Igor Barbe.

Audio: A happy-go-lucky synth orchestra theme with sound accompanying actions, mostly ending with a synthesized ding.

Availability: While the long bumpers were retired on June 8, 1998, the short bumpers continued to be used on commercial breaks of the channel before being replaced with the next bumper below.

A lot of water ripples disappeared, but the background (along with a number reflecting through it) is still wavy. A transparent gray text consisting of the copies of the word "РЕКЛАМА", fades in scrolling at a low framerate at the bottom of the screen.

2022 versions

Autumn/Winter themed versions

Spring themed versions

Visuals: The bumper consists of a shot, where at different seasons of the year, at the appropriate period of the day, the Moscow time is shown either on a building, in room, or on wristwatches. The people are also seen doing certain activities.

• From its debut until September 5, 2013, at the bottom-left corner of the screen is the word "РЕКЛАМА" in white.
• From September 5, 2013-October 14, 2023, there is a group of several shining, horizontal bars reflecting the footage at the bottom-left corner of the screen. Near the top-center of a group of bars, the word "реклама" emerges from the right, with its mirrored copy from the left which fades away, leaving its normal version.
  • Sometimes, a group of bars was absent, leaving only the text.
• Starting on October 15, 2023, a group of bars is absent and the word "реклама" is located even lower to the screen, it's also in a different font.

Later Variants:

• From September 1, 2014-March 2015, the bumpers were modified and were made in a surrealistic style. For example: poles jump through wires like a jump rope, girls in a dance class hit a soccer ball, the Ostankino Tower turns out to be a hologram and changes to the Eiffel Tower, etc.
• From September 1, 2015-October 14, 2023, various white patterns and moving drawings were added to the clock.
• Starting on October 15, 2023, a box is revealed over a footage in a various corner of the screen, which flips to the bottom to reveal a footage similar to a different type activity inside it.

Technique: Live-action (with digitally superimposed texts for 2012 bumpers). The later variants also include:

• 2D computer animation for the 2013 (for a group of bars with the text) and 2023 variants.
