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.

It is true, Irina Gavrisheva (Ira) needs help. To my mind she is a Ukrainian National Treasure. To learn much more about Ira please go to http://www.ukraineorphans.net. Her photo is at the top of the home page, click there. At the bottom of the home page there are links to her works and what others say. Check the Blog page also.
Thanks so much for your interest.

There is a new update – Irina Gavrisheva is now also at the top of the home page of ukraineorphans.net. There are links to her near death. You are offered her original Russian, also translated into English and also into Spanish. She needs a heart pacemaker to prevent her heart from stopping again.
