"Ok.ru's New Mini-App Honors Heroes of the Great Patriotic War"
Step into the digital realm and pay tribute to the brave participants of the Great Patriotic War with Ok.ru's latest offering, the 'Victory Flower' mini-app. This unique platform allows global users to express their gratitude at memorials dedicated to May 9th, including prominent landmarks such as the Moscow Victory Monument, Volgograd's 'Motherland Calls!', the Soviet Soldier Memorial near Rzhev, Heroic Defenders of Tula Memorial, and Brest Fortress in Belarus. No Ok.ru profile necessary! Users can even listen to engaging audio stories co-created with the Russian Military-Historical Society.
In an inspiring twist, Ok.ru's traveler-authors - Timur Yusupov, Dmitry Kulikov, Mark Eremein, and Tatiana Gritsenko - are embarking on a cross-country odyssey, journeying through 17 cities to lay live flowers on behalf of all Ok.ru users at these memorable sites. Their journey reaches its zenith at a thematic exhibition at the Moscow Victory Museum.
This period, until the end of May, Ok.ru treats visitors to its museum stand for photo restorations using a special device. Furthermore, catch the live stream of the evening salute held at Poklonnaya Hill Victory Park on their platform.
