Vkontakte is preparing to launch a new social network, writes the newspaper "Izvestia" with reference to sources familiar with the company's plans. It is reported that the new resource will be created on the basis of Snapster — competitor Instagram, opened last summer by "Vkontakte".

currently we are working on a new app and website over the snapster.io. The basis of the social network will be the concept of "photocount". This is, in fact, the same pages and communities in Vkontakte, but with the obligatory picture of each post. For any "rooms" can be assigned to multiple authors who can publish or edit pictures and text. Source of "Izvestia" noted that in the new service, all photos will not be mixed into a single news feed, as it happens in Instagram or Facebook.

the Newspaper "Izvestia" said that "Vkontakte" have already tried to create third-party services on the social network. However, projects such as the State and Vkadre", did not find support from users and in the end have been closed.
