Revizorro (Russian: Ревизорро) is a Russian television show in a documentary format distributed by the Friday! network. The first episode aired in June 2014, coinciding with the birthday of the TV network. Initially hosted by a Russian TV presenter Elena Letuchaya, before being substituted by the singer Olga Romanovskaya in April 2016. The program is a Russian adaptation of the Ukrainian version "Revizor" (Ukrainian: Ревізор).
"Revizorro" is a television program by "Friday!" that reviews various public facilities: hotels, hostels, restaurants, cafes, clubs, water parks and other public places that provide all sorts of services to their visitors. Filming of the first episode in Stavropol began in February 2014.
Residents of various cities can leave reviews of their local business establishments on the Friday! TV channel website. Based on these reviews, the staff of "Revizorro" make a list of potential places to review. The crew show up at a business establishment without a warning so that the staff cannot prepare for their visit, and show the viewers of the program all the pros and cons of the establishments being audited. Several episodes have shown patrons of the restaurants who, together with leading institutions use the services, check the quality of food and cleanliness of the premises, instead of the host herself.
The owners of the audited businesses often offer money to Revizorro's employees, so that they will warn them about the visit of the crew and show their business in a more more favorable light. However, the program officials reject such proposals, as the purpose of the program is in its impartial review of an establishment.
