What Came Before VKontakte?

Before creating the largest social network in the CIS, I had already been developing communication platforms.

🔵 durov.com and spbgu.ru — projects for SPbU students, where they could exchange information and connect with like-minded people.

There was no commercial goal — just an idea and code. Back then, I had no idea this would become the starting point for something much bigger…

Just like in Durov Run, everything starts small—one run, one upgrade, one decision, and suddenly, you have an IT empire.

The Longest Marathon on Your Phone

4,989 kilometers — that’s the distance covered by participants in the «Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race».

🏆 But don’t show them the leaderboard in Durov Run. For us, that’s just a warm-up!

Looking at the top runners, it’s clear that players aren’t chasing kilometers — they’re driven by the opportunity to build their IT empires.

Every run is a step toward opportunities that can’t be measured in kilometers!

The 4 Fastest People in the World

A fraction of a second can change everything. In my projects, I’ve always aimed for speed and efficiency. This is what made Telegram the fastest messaging app in the world.

But true speed is what the greatest athletes show us, reminding us how important it is to value every second.

💎 Who is the fastest person on the planet?

4️⃣ Place – Johan Blake | 100 meters in 9.69 seconds.

3️⃣ Place – Tyson Gay | 100 meters in 9.68 seconds.

2️⃣ Place – Usain Bolt | 100 meters in 9.58 seconds.

1️⃣ Place – You | Beating time in Durov Run

Unlike athletes, whose success is measured in seconds, your success in Durov Run is progress and personal development.

Run not in vain — create your future!

#lifestories 🐶

Exactly 18 years ago today, I launched VK—my first large company. Below is the story of how it happened.

I graduated from Saint-Petersburg University in the summer of 2006. I wanted to keep in touch with my former classmates, but I knew it would be hard without a website where everyone could find each other. So, in late August 2006, I set a goal—to build a social network for university students and graduates in four weeks.

I was pretty good at coding. At 12, I built web-based games with vector animations and sound effects. At 13, I was already asked to teach older kids Pascal (a computer language) in summer camps for programmers.

And yet, planning to build a fully-fledged social network in four weeks was overconfident. To make it worse, I decided not to use any ready-made third-party modules. I wanted to create everything from scratch: from profiles and private messages to photo albums and search.

The task seemed too large to grasp. Where do I even start? Back then, my brother Nikolai lived in Germany. Nikolai is a brilliant mathematician and algorithmic programmer, but he’s always considered web development beneath him. At that time, he was focused on his Math thesis at the Max Planck University in Bonn. He refused to help with the code but gave advice: “Write the code for user authorization first,” he said. “You’ll get through.”

This made sense. I started with a login page that generated session IDs. Sessions could then be used to identify users, show them their profile pages, and allow them to edit them. Even the sign-up process could wait: I prepopulated the entries for the first few users manually in the database.

That's when I first understood it clearly: Every complex task is just a combination of many simple ones. If you split a big project into manageable parts and arrange them in the right order, you can get anything done. In theory. In practice, you also encounter all kinds of technical obstacles that test your persistence.

In September 2006, I typically wrote code for 20 hours in a row, had one meal and then slept for 10 hours. After a day of work, I’d boil myself a bucket of pasta and eat it with a generous amount of cheese. No other food was required. I didn’t care whether it was day or night outside. Social connections stopped existing. All that mattered was the code.

I tried to make each section of my project flawless, and that took time. Obsessing over details didn’t help to get everything done in four weeks. But being the only team member allowed me to minimize time spent on internal communication. And since I knew every line of the code base by heart, I could find and fix bugs faster.

On October 10, 2006, I had a beta version of the social network up and running. I called it VKontakte (VK), which means “in contact”. It took me six weeks instead of four to create it. But the result was worth it. Users that I invited from my previous project—a students’ portal I’d been building since 2003—signed up by the thousands and started to invite friends.

I kept adding new features quickly, and competitors struggled to catch up. A few months later, I hired another developer. By that time, VK already had a million members. Within seven years, VK would reach 100 million monthly users. At that point, I was fired by the board of VK, so I left the company to focus fully on Telegram.

That experience of single-handedly building the first version of VK in 2006 was so valuable that it defined my career. As the sole member of the product team, I had to do the work of a front-end developer, back-end developer, UX/UI designer, system administrator, and product manager—all at once. I got to understand the basics of all these jobs. I learned the tiniest details of how a social network works.

I also learned that there are no complex tasks in this world—only many small ones that look scary when combined. Split a big task into smaller parts, organize them in the right sequence—and “you’ll get through”.
What Types of Running Exist?

Unfortunately, due to my constant busyness, the only way I can diversify my running right now is by buying a new treadmill.

But the world offers so many incredible ways to move forward:
⭐️ Sprint
⭐️ Marathon
⭐️ Trail Running
⭐️ Interval Running
⭐️ Ultramarathon
⭐️ Mountain Running
🔴 Durov Run


🚀In Durov Run, your type of running is chasing your dream.

You’re not just running: you’re building an IT empire, competing in global challenges, and unlocking new horizons in story mode!

Thoughts Beyond Time

To move forward, one must not only acknowledge mistakes but also learn from them.

I once realized that some people fail not because they can’t calculate but because they don’t understand why things went wrong. They were good at making excuses, but not at understanding the root cause.


In Durov Run, every run is a chance to learn from your mistakes: fall, understand, fix, and run again.

After all, only those who aren’t afraid of mistakes can reach the summit.

How to increase your efficiency?

When I created the first version of VKontakte, I had to work 20 hours a day. If only I had a tool that would help me move faster...

For example, Telegram Stars – a resource that accelerates success.


💎
How can Telegram Stars help?

No longer worry about lack of energy;
Double your offline earned popularity;
Buy popularity without putting in extra effort!

What was a dream for me is now a reality for you. Use it and move towards your goals with a new speed in Durov Run.

Where Have We Run Off To?

These corridors look so familiar… Oh, it’s Saint Petersburg State University, where I spent my student years.

🏛 In the story mode of Durov Run, this location comes alive!

I love running through these routes, remembering how it all began. It feels like even the walls here inspire you to keep moving forward.

Experience this atmosphere with me at Durov Run!

How to Motivate Yourself to Run?

In real life, running requires water, comfortable sneakers, and, of course, energy. The latter has always been a challenge for me...

But in Durov Run, it’s much simpler: energy is replenished every day. And if you’re running low, ⭐️ can help you keep going and build your IT empire — even while lounging on the couch.

Running has never been easier. Join Durov Run and start your run today!

😮‍💨 It’s time to find your second wind!

🔜 At 16:00 UTC, we’ll kick off the race for Notcoin. The run will continue until November 15, 12:00 UTC.

💎To activate Notcoin collection mode, flip the switch before the race starts. This will calculate the maximum amount of Notcoin you can collect. Once the calculation is complete and you see your available coins, make sure to start the race to prevent your PavelPass from being wasted.

🏃 All Notcoins are located beyond the 10 km mark. If you can’t reach the coins and encounter an obstacle, you can continue the race from that point using Telegram Stars. Otherwise, your PavelPass will be spent.

😁 And here’s the exciting part for those who don’t have a PavelPass yet! Right now, the Best Run leaderboard will reset, giving everyone a chance to get on it. Stay in the leaderboard for 24 hours, invite three friends, and voilà — a PavelPass is yours! If the Notcoin pool isn’t exhausted, you can immediately start racing for Notcoin! If the pool runs out, keep your ticket for the next race for other valuable coins.

🏃‍♂️Remember, the chat admins are always here to help you.

🏷 It looks like it’s going to be an epic race…

Let’s go!

💪Hi, this is PavelX. I see many of you have questions, so let's sort them out:

1. How many levels are there in the Durov Run referral system?
The game has a 7-level referral system. It will become visible in future updates.

2. How much can you earn from your referral network and in what currency?
Your referral link allows you to earn 15% of your referrals’ in-game purchases. Purchases are made with Telegram Stars, and your earnings are credited in Toncoin.

3. How does Toncoin appear in my balance?
You earn Toncoin every time your referrals spend Telegram Stars on purchases or watch ads to continue their run.

4. Why collect Gems?
Durov Run
is an "endless runner" and "Tycoon" game. To access the story campaign, which will be released in November, and to upgrade Pavel Durov’s business, you’ll need a certain amount of Gems. Progressing through the story campaign will also enhance the main parameter — Popularity, which will appear later in this mode.

5. Besides earning through the referral system, why invite friends?
Users who invite friends will receive tickets to continue the run from the same point.

❓If you have more questions, I’ll be waiting for you in the comments.

🤓Yours, PavelX (not to be confused with Pavel D).
