The appearance of the first Russian social network “Classmates” ten years ago, has made a bombshell.

Lera Kudryavtseva, TV presenter

“By registering, I found many classmates. One of them, Maxim Zinoviev, rewritten so far, congratulate each other on holidays. And ten years ago the joy of virtual meetings was huge. In my youth we walked in one company. Maxim saw me on TV, inundated with compliments. He moved to Alma-ATA, where he engaged in business. Then even gave me apples boxes.

In Kazakhstan very tasty fruit and chemical-free, and in Moscow in winter, normal is not found. Now, however, very rarely I go to “OK”, but mom is still with my friends there rewritten”.

Denis Klyaver, singer

“I checked in under a false name – either Petrov or Ivanov. Something quite simple. Hard to remember as it was ten years ago. “Classmates” had just appeared. Sat under a pseudonym, because I wanted to avoid unnecessary messages from the fans and calmly look for friends. In the end I managed to sign off with a few classmates. The guys were pleasantly surprised when I opened the card. Some, however, not immediately believed, thought, kidding. Then for emphasis I told some funny stories. After that, doubts at anybody does not remain! Together felt nostalgic for school, when friendship was selfless. There is a prejudice that when people something reach, then turn your nose up. Maybe it’s unfounded, but, fortunately, I was not concerned. A few years later, we are virtual buddies already met in real life at the reunion. Almost no one has changed, everything well done. The main thing to remember that the social network is help in finding the friends you once lost sight of. But not worth the virtual communication to replace real. But young people today have such a problem”.

Hope Babkina, the singer

“I joined “OK” in 2006 for fun. Suddenly someone will meet! Then the social network was an incredible gimmick, I dropped in there several times a week. He wrote many, mainly fans. Sent poems, making compliments, someone asked for money… In General, I have formed a large circle of virtual friends who have left kind comments under my photos.

I will gladly publish there pictures from various events attended by expressing their opinion about an event. And I once got a message from a woman named Maria. It turned out she was my classmate with whom we had not seen for almost forty years! Masha still lives in the Astrakhan region, where I come from. She saw my page and decided to check real or fake. In the end, we spent the last hour texting with sharing news, telling each other about the children. Masha has told that is engaged in the production of jewelry made of stones, her own brand. Now sends me a necklace for every birthday, and I’m sending the CDs with the songs”.

Boris Moiseev

“A few years ago I went to a woman from my home town of Mogilev. Her name was Taisia. At first I didn’t understand who it’s, as the account was without a photo. And when read the message, stunned. It turned out that with Taisiya we lived in neighbouring streets in childhood. In high school walked by the handle, even love each other confessed, kissed once. And after school I went to Minsk, and the connection with Taichi broke. And now, after forty years, she wrote. Then admitted that he was afraid and shy, because I was already a famous artist. Was very touched.

Ty said that he married, had two children, and my work still watches on TV. After a few months of correspondence she arrived in Moscow to visit three times removed sister, and I invited her to the concert. After the speech we met and even shed a few tears. Sorry, the picture did not. Talking and forgot”.

Dmitry Malikov, the singer

“In my childhood I used to changing schools – my parents moved around a lot. So when I’m in the “OK” write classmates, all I remember is there were many of them. Sorry. Once sent the message a certain Alexander of Cucumbers. Pictures looked, didn’t recognize… And he’s like, “Get memory. I’m Sanja Crutch!” Then, of course, oriented – so we because of its thinness called. The website I have is a good communication tool with her fans. In social networks spread pictures of, and with the family. And recently on this website my chat with fans. Take the time and personally answer all the questions fans”.
