VK IPJSC is the Russian technology group that its annual report calls the biggest company in the Russian internet segment by user base. It was registered in Russia on 26 September 2023 after the re-domiciliation of VK Company Limited, and its ordinary shares trade on the Moscow Exchange under VKCO. Its registered address is in Kaliningrad. The 2024 annual report lists VK Messenger where the 2025 results release lists MAX, so VK Messenger is left out.
