Russian social network VK, or Vkontakte, is the Russian analog of Facebook but it has many more functions, as it stores a huge selection of audio and video that you can streamline for FREE. Don’t have an account yet? You are missing out! It has an English interface! You don’t have to make friends there (although it is encouraged). You can just register an account at VK to use its amazing audio and video content library. It’s like YouTube and Netflix combined!

Also,

• Listen to Russian radio station Русское радио online-only Russian music
• The most popular radio station in Russia Evropa Plus (foreign hits and Russian-speaking DJs)
