SOCIAL NETWORKS IN RUSSIA
2014
Numbers and trends
Brand Analytics
(с) 2014
Usually the audience of VISITORS (number of “READERS”) is
counted for social networks. This data is essential for selling
advertising.
Social networks are a means of public communication as well
as an instrument of influencing the public opinion.
Active, “TALKING” users are more important – they express
their attitude towards the researched themes and shares his/her
opinion by posting public content in social media.
We have concluded the research of russian social networks in
this perspective: “talking” authors, their age and gender, amount
of content, geographical location etc.
GO ON TALKING! YOUR OPINION WILL BE NOTED

SOCIAL MEDIA AUDIENCE
In the context of public opinion research it would be more correct to use the term “social media” instead
of “social networks”. Social media is a broader concept than social networks. As social media we
understand any public user-generated content.
SOCIAL MEDIA
• Social networks (VKontakte, Facebook, Odnoklassniki, YouTube, Instagram, ...)
• Blogs and microblogs (Twitter, LiveJournal, Blogger.com, …)
• Forums (Babyblog.ru, Auto.ru,…)
• Reviews (Yandex.Market, iRecommend.ru, Yell.ru,...)
• Comments to online mass media publications
Audience of social media exceeds the audience of social networks. A person does not need an account
in social networks to read or to write a comment on a news site. The same goes for sites with reviews,
which show an explosive growth: monthly audience of the major review sites reaches tens of millions of
visitors.
Social media audience: 90-100% of internet users
INFORMATION EXPLOSION –

 Annual increase: 25%.

second);
 «Talking» audience (at least 1 post per month) -

SOCIAL NETWORKS IN RUSSIA – CHANGES IN AUDIENCE
DURING THE YEAR
* TNS Web Index, December 2013г, December 2012, January 2013
Twitter data extrapolated according to the audience for a day and for a week .
CHANGES OF A MONTHLY AUDIENCE DURING THE YEAR (IN THOUSANDS)
Russia, 12-64 years, December 2013 and December 2012
Stable growth: VKontakte, Youtube, Twitter. Other networks – dynamic changes during the year.
About themselves
About what they do, where they are, what they eat, what they think, what they feel. The total amount of
such messages is about 15 - 20% of the overall amount
Share news from mass media and discuss them
Repost news, comment on them, discuss major public events. Usually the number of such messages is
about 40% of the overall, but during the discussion of resonant events (like an opening ceremony of the
Olympics, Maidan events) the amount of discussion skyrockets.
Create their own news
Transmit information, on-the-spot photos and videos – from sporting events, trips, emergencies, etc. This
type of information picks up speed due to the development of mobile means of Internet access as well as
the development of cameras and dashboard cams.
Discuss goods, services, events
Share their consumer experience, impressions of movies, give recommendations to other users.
Post entertaining content
Tricks, photos of cats, dogs and other cute stuff.
To a lesser degree they discuss hobbies, publish creative work, advertise smth, etc.

Social networks in Russia 2014: numbers and trends

  • 1. SOCIAL NETWORKS IN RUSSIA 2014 Numbers and trends Brand Analytics (с) 2014
  • 2. Usually the audience of VISITORS (number of “READERS”) is counted for social networks. This data is essential for selling advertising. Social networks are a means of public communication as well as an instrument of influencing the public opinion. Active, “TALKING” users are more important – they express their attitude towards the researched themes and shares his/her opinion by posting public content in social media. We have concluded the research of russian social networks in this perspective: “talking” authors, their age and gender, amount of content, geographical location etc. GO ON TALKING! YOUR OPINION WILL BE NOTED
  • 3. AUDIENCE OF SOCIAL NETWORKS IN RUSSIA INTERNET PENETRATION 57% of russian population older than 18 use internet (66,5 mln. ppl) 1 SOCIAL NETWORK PENETRATION AMONG INTERNET USERS 82% of russian internet users have accounts in social networks 2 80% of daytime internet audience in Russia use social networks 3 1. Public Opinion Foundation, Autumn 2013 2. VCIOM, February 2012 3. TNS Web Index, February 2013
  • 4. SOCIAL MEDIA AUDIENCE In the context of public opinion research it would be more correct to use the term “social media” instead of “social networks”. Social media is a broader concept than social networks. As social media we understand any public user-generated content. SOCIAL MEDIA • Social networks (VKontakte, Facebook, Odnoklassniki, YouTube, Instagram, ...) • Blogs and microblogs (Twitter, LiveJournal, Blogger.com, …) • Forums (Babyblog.ru, Auto.ru,…) • Reviews (Yandex.Market, iRecommend.ru, Yell.ru,...) • Comments to online mass media publications Audience of social media exceeds the audience of social networks. A person does not need an account in social networks to read or to write a comment on a news site. The same goes for sites with reviews, which show an explosive growth: monthly audience of the major review sites reaches tens of millions of visitors. Social media audience: 90-100% of internet users
