On VK, history comes to life thanks to the educational communities, which introduces its followers to major historic events. But just imagine what life would be like if Nikolay II and Vladimir Lenin have their own social network profiles?

Just before the anniversary of turning events which changed the course of Russian and world history, we decided to turn back time 100 years by teaming up with Project1917 to launch the historic timeline. Instead, all you need to do is switch your default language to pre-Revolutionary Russian ("imperial" website localization) or follow this link vk.com/feed/1917. Once you do this, you'll not only be in touch with all the latest news, but you'll also learn what happened on that day 100 years ago.

In VK's historic timeline, the memories of artists, writers, scientists and politicians of the 20th century will come to life! Famous historical figures like Nikolay II, Grigori Rasputin, Vladimir Lenin, Lev Tolstoy, Anna Akhmatova, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Ernest Hemingway and Albert Einstein. All publications of historical figures are taken from their diaries, memoires and other documents of that era.

Learning history has never been easier!
