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.

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!
