On November 29, thousands of people in Moscow went out on the streets to protest against the construction of a new trading center. This center would replace the “Cherkizovski” market [ENG], which was closed down in June because of many illegal activities on its premises. The photos of the protest can be found here [RUS].
The Russian Coordination Center for the new national Cyrillic domain .RF stopped the application process for new domains. Anti-cybersquatting measures turned out to be infective and the center plans to review the rules of submission process, Russian news agency Prime-Tass reported [RUS]. It's not clear what will happen to the registered domains. Some sources claim that all previously approved domains will be deleted.
A new law “On Ensuring Access to Information about Activities of Government Bodies and Municipal Authorities” [RUS] will require, among other things, creating public Internet terminals all around Russia. But netizens question [RUS] the feasibility of the law.

Muir is mistaken.
About 20% of Albanians are Orthodox Chrsitian with about 10% being Catholic.
Among Albanians, Greater Albania is a greater reality than the once hyped Greater Serbia theme among Serbs.
Greater albania have no sens its a propoganda.serbia wanted to be greater with foreigners territories and populations…But albanians wants natural albania/ethnique with albanian territories and albanian population…But even thats wold happend after the albanian ethnic cleansing by serbs and greeks we cant realise like it was …
No Mike “Greater Albania” is not that popular. It’s more on the “It would be nice but…” and that’s about it. No poll shows any great desire to unite, other than in EU, but it serves Serbs and Greeks well as a propaganda tool.
The stats on religion are nonsense anyway, they predate WWII and most people are not religious and only identify with what their grandfathers did.
