VK Video
The video arm of VKontakte, holding billions of clips with high potential for finding Russian-language reuploads. Most of it sits behind a login wall: web search requires an account, and the official API needs a registered app and access token. Check it when chasing RU-sphere video content, but expect to sign in to search.

Warum es nützlich ist & wie es funktioniert
VK Video is the video arm of VKontakte, Russia's largest social network, and a significant repository of Russian-language and ex-Soviet content, including reuploads of material removed elsewhere. Most of the catalog is behind a login wall: on-site search requires a VK account, and the official API requires a registered application and an access token. Because of these barriers, Echo links you to the platform and you search there once you are signed in.
