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.

But Georgia military continues to destroy the capital of South Ossetia and to kill women, children, casualties.
Stop Saakashvili!!!!!
Georgians, Ossetians, Russians are all orthodox Christians and have lived in peace throughout history. They befriended each other, married each other, raised children together, fought and won against common enemies. Nobody wants this war. People were related to each other by history are dying! Saakashvili has started it and now he needs to go.
Giorgi: No, Russian leadership have always been on this. Russia is here to blame, always acting like spoiled child, wanting control which it actually don’t know how to use properly for their people’s good!
