Many viral trends on social networks occurred in 2020.
#Challenge
Because of social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic, people spent more time at home rather than going out. They tended to log in social networks more frequently.
That was why many trends were initiated in 2020, including #DollyPartonchallenge (posting images of four moments with the names of four different social networks), #ChloeTingChallenge (doing gym for 14 days), the challenge of taking pictures in washing machine cage, #LipstickChallenge (putting lipstick on clavicle collar-bone), #PillowChallenge (taking pictures with pillow which turns into a dress) and #shoppingbagchallenge (turning handbags into dress).
These challenges received positive response from women throughout the last year.

The world may have been imploding around us in 2020, but at least we had the Russian internet to keep us entertained.
This year, there was no shortage of witty, irreverent and just plain odd memes from Russia perhaps because in lockdown Russians had more time on their hands to work their meme magic.
A few of them even spread beyond Russia’s borders, a testament to the power of memes to unify people across cultures. Or maybe the rest of the world simply caught up with that Russian skill of keeping despair at bay with humor, of finding lemonade in lemons.
