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.

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
