A trail comes out of the merged "О" while copies of the word "ОБЩЕСТВЕННОЕ" appear vertically in white. The background shows footage of the news crew speaking to the camera. After a while, the background wipes to blue again as construction workers are shown at the left, and landmarks, as well as people marching are shown at the right. Meanwhile, the same letter sequence happens to the "Р" letter of "OPT", as copies of "РОССИЙСКОЕ" appear at the right. News crew speaking are shown at the left. The background then wipes to dark blue, as footage of an astronaut crew is shown, while the letter sequence happens to the "T", with copies of "ТЕЛЕВИДЕНИЕ" appearing briefly at the right. Footage of people marching is shown at the left. The background then wipes to another dark blue background with a globe spinning, where the text "" appears zooming out. Glass streaks move out as the colors of "" are revealed, and the border of the text, in, zooms out.

It quickly changes to military footage, as the same footage is reflected on a holographic screen rotating near the center, and it quickly zooms in as a light corridor in light blue and yellow quickly moves and rotates, as other light blue lights are shown moving and flashing across the screen.
