Yes. vkvideo.ru presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by GlobalSign nv-sa · GlobalSign ECC OV SSL CA 2018, expiring in 274 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

Business records confirm active ownership by VK in Russia with the domain tied to their official infrastructure and bug bounty program. Independent review sites give it a positive trust score and no scam reports or complaints appear anywhere. The domain itself is recent but belongs to a long-running company rather than a new unknown operator. These factors together establish high confidence that the site is legitimate.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on vkvideo.ru and not a lookalike like v-kvideo.ru.com or an IDN homoglyph.
Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
