The Field of Wonders (Russian: По́ле Чуде́с, IPA: [ˈpolʲɪ tɕʉˈdʲes]) is a Soviet, later Russian adaptation of the U.S. game show Wheel of Fortune (loosely based on the original format; the license wasn't bought from the distributor) produced by VID, provided with elements of Russian culture and hosted by Leonid Yakubovich.
In late 2021, Channel One Russia stopped buying The Field of Wonders from VID and originally meant to replace it with a licensed version of Wheel of Fortune under the same name since January 2022. Due to a trademark dispute with VID, the title of the new show was supposed to be Nashe Pole Chudes (Our Field of Wonders). However, VID later agreed to let Channel One keep the original The Field of Wonders name and the full 31-year archive, while Channel One will be producing the show onwards.
