14 April 2026 Abstract Dana Vespoli is a well‑known figure in the adult‑entertainment industry who has leveraged mainstream social‑media platforms to cultivate a personal brand beyond her professional work. This paper investigates her activity on VKontakte (VK), the largest Russian‑language social network, to understand how an adult‑industry personality navigates a platform that is primarily oriented toward a general audience. Using a mixed‑methods approach—quantitative metrics (followers, post frequency, engagement rates) and qualitative content analysis (post themes, language, community interaction)—the study outlines Vespoli’s digital strategy, the reception by VK users, and the broader implications for adult‑industry figures seeking cross‑cultural online visibility. 1. Introduction The proliferation of social‑media platforms has transformed how public figures manage their reputations, interact with fans, and diversify revenue streams. While mainstream platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok have been widely examined, less scholarly attention has been paid to VKontakte (VK) —a Russian‑language network comparable to Facebook in its breadth of features (groups, stories, live streams, marketplaces).
