English Russia writes about the phenomenon of “social network graffiti” [ENG] that became very popular among the users of the leading Russian social network Vkontakte.ru.
There are 15 million Web sites in the Russian segment of the Internet. They account for 6,5 percent of all Web sites available online. An average Russian Web site contains 255 pages, 159 thousand words, and 204 images. These facts were revealed in the latest research “The Runet Content” by Yandex [RUS].
Fifty one percent of young Russians (ages 16 - 24) consider the Internet a reliable source of information. This makes the Internet the second most trustworthy source after TV among the youth. This and other findings are available in a newly published report [RUS] by the Public Opinion Foundation.

Which song did you like the best? I liked Armenia and
Greece.
Kate, I’m afraid I’m only following blogger reaction to the contest as it pertains to the South Caucasus and not the actual competition itself.
Sirusho has to do it better … unfortunately, i had the feeling as if Sirusho had a cold or the night before too much party (!!!) .. her voice was in some way “disguise” and not so good!
I congratulate Sirusho, reaching finals is a great achievement, but i have one comment to make, she was high pitched, probably she was nervous and stressed.
If she overcomes this problem i am sure she will be in the top Three.
No matter what result she achieves we are proud of her.
Good luck to You and God be with you.
Hey tou guys are correct she was very nervous i would to so we just have to wish her good luck we love youand believe in you you ae the best just don’t be nervooous SIrusho jan
