TV presenter and blogger Victoria Bonya commented on the news that Tinder is stepping back from Russia. On her Instagram page, she announced plans to launch a new dating club, signaling a shift in her public projects as she continues to engage with her audience online.
Bonya remarked that the move would likely be tough for Tinder, suggesting that the platform had built a loyal and attractive user base. She explained that the idea for establishing her own dating club had been percolating for some time, and the moment seemed right to turn that concept into a reality. The TV personality spoke candidly about the desire to create a space that brings together single women who are seeking meaningful connections and long-term relationships, encouraging her followers to consider new avenues for meeting suitable partners.
In recent days it was announced that Match Group, the company behind Tinder, would discontinue its service in Russia by June 30. The decision was presented as a measure to protect human rights, with representatives noting the company’s commitment to safety and ethical standards. Match Group also owns other dating platforms, including Hinge and Plenty of Fish, and their Russian operations have prompted discussions about how international tech companies adapt to local markets while maintaining their global policies and brand values.
