Russian Internet celebrates 10th anniversary
MOSCOW - The Russian Internet officially
turned ten years old Wednesday, as various organizations having
a hand in creating virtual Russia celebrate the anniversary.
On April 7, 1994 the International Organization [for Standardization]
Internets registered the so-called top- level domain dot .ru
and the history of the Russian Internet began.

Communications Minister, is saying that making sure all Russians
are connected to the Internet is a top priority if Russia’s

reports.
Many Russians cannot afford a PC, and so efforts
have been made to create communal internet access points for
those who don’t have a computer in their home. Over three million
Russians have used such opportunities, Reiman announced.

the word Internet meant. Today, there are as many as 14.6 million
users — which is 13 percent of the population
