Vkontakte (VK) is a social networking platform founded in Russia in 2006. The translation literally means ‘in touch’.  It was created by Pavel Durov and quickly became popular in Russia and other neighboring countries. VK has over 700 million registered users and is available in more than 90 languages. 

VK operates similarly to other social networking platforms, with users creating personal profiles, sharing content, and interacting with others through comments, likes, and messages. Vkontakte allows users to create groups and communities centered around specific topics, such as music, movies, or sports. Users can also join existing groups and communities to connect with others who share their interests. VK’s music streaming service is another popular feature, allowing users to listen to music for free and discover new artists.

Features

Over the years, VK has added several enhancements to its platform, including the following:

Video content: it allows users to upload and share videos, as well as live stream events.

E-commerce:  has introduced a marketplace where users can buy and sell goods.

Games: has a gaming platform with a wide range of games available to play online.

Advertising: it offers advertising options for businesses and brands to reach their target audience on the platform.

However, in the nature of social networks, in principle they are not designed for online dating but to make friends, networking, share interests, groups..

For this reason it is advisable not to use it for dating purposes, but to meet like-minded people and then be able to establish a friendship and perhaps something else.
