The national messenger Max has launched "Space Week" - a series of interactive activities for the 65th anniversary of the first human space flight. The project was launched jointly with Roscosmos and covers several VK services at once.
The main "feature" is the "Communication with Space" chatbot. Through it, users can ask questions to current cosmonauts, as well as generate their photo "from orbit" - as if you had visited the ISS.
In addition, a postcard constructor and thematic stickers have appeared in the application. The set includes animated series about Belka and Strelka, Gagarin, aliens and "space stamps", as well as the Max's signature character, who "went" into orbit.
In parallel, activities have unfolded in other VK services. VKontakte and VK Video released an episode of "Mythbusters", where cosmonauts, together with bloggers and media heroes, analyze what in the movies about space is true and what is fiction.
Odnoklassniki launched a special edition of "People's Interview" with cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev, where he answers users' questions about life in orbit.
A thematic section with news, live broadcasts and analysis of space technologies appeared in Zen, and VK Music released a podcast for children, voiced by current cosmonauts.
Separate offline activities are also taking place in Moscow: a zone with a space theme will appear in the Metropolis shopping center, where you can take photos, learn more about the planets and participate in contests.
