The deterioration of the economic situation in the second half of 2014 led to a reduction in the advertising market and a decrease in the growth rate of video advertising in the network. The revenue received from subscriptions and paid movie views, while continuing to maintain high growth rates - this is due to the proliferation of smart-TV with online cinema applications.
