Tropes/Breaking News Interruption

In general

 * A standard in the Russian Federal Republic; whenever a ViD channel suddenly stops broadcasting and an announcer says "Это телекомпания ВИD из Москвы" ("This is ViD Television from Moscow"), sometimes coupled with "Обычное программирование приостановлено" ("Regular programming has been suspended"), this usually means someone significant has died — such as a former President — or that something terrible has happened or is happening.
