In 2003, the internet was neither the sleek, algorithmic oracle of today nor the wild, anonymous frontier of the 1990s. It was a bridge. In Russia and the post-Soviet states, that bridge was often OK.RU (Odnoklassniki), a social network launched in 2006. To project the theme of "Liebe und Verlangen" (Love and Desire) onto the 2003 OK.RU lifestyle is to engage in a fascinating retro-futurism—because in 2003, OK.RU did not yet exist. Yet the spirit of what it would become was already crystallizing in chat rooms, ICQ, and early dating portals.

"Liebe und Verlangen" was part of the OKRU (Offenes Kanal Rundfunk) programming lineup, which focused on showcasing diverse perspectives and stories. OKRU was known for its eclectic mix of entertainment, culture, and lifestyle programming.
