Editor’s review
Videochat RU at videochatru.com is a random video chat site that carries the Chatruletka branding on its landing page. On desktop a sign-in window sits over the chat interface. It offers only two ways in, Continue with Google or Continue with VK ID, along with a line confirming you are at least 18 and accept the user agreement. There is no guest option.
Behind that window the desktop layout is visible: Start and Stop buttons, a country selector, an I am gender selector and a text chat box beside the video area. The site displayed a counter of 500,835 users online at the time of the visit. That figure comes from the site itself and we could not verify it. The welcome message reads Find new friends, but the editor noted that the promotional text also stresses finding a partner, so the site leans partly toward dating without being a dating service.
On moderation, a rules page and a report or block option are present. We saw no visible moderators and could not judge how the chat behaves in practice. No ads appeared on the landing page, and no browser warnings or other safety problems turned up. The age check is limited to the 18+ confirmation in the sign-in window. Signing in through Google or VK means linking a personal account before you can talk to anyone.
Mobile works differently. Instead of the chat, the phone version showed an App Store promotion page for the OmeTV app, a different brand from the Chatruletka name on desktop. If you want to use the service on a phone, expect to be sent to an app download rather than a browser chat.
The site suits Russian-speaking adults who want quick one-to-one webcam chats with strangers on a desktop computer and don't mind signing in with Google or VK. If you want to stay anonymous, or you prefer to chat in a mobile browser, it is a poor fit.
