Forum.msk.ru - in fact it is not a forum in simple meaning. It is - rostrum, at which everyone from Opened electronic paper (such called site its owners)can allow criticism and impartial statements in respect of modern Kremlin authority.
In fact, newspaper has own editorial staff, own journalists, correspondent points. Perfect journalists polished (sometimes advisedly provocative) texts, articles and,...each of them (already, like in real forum) can discuss readers. Moreover, no registration (for comments) are needed. Full freedom and democracy.

So, by statement of editor-in-chief this electronic mass information source Anatoly Baranov, who is understanding, that full freedom and democracy, (in contrast to surrounding) can turn for edition out problems, and at background of discounting (in recently) searches in independent Mass-Media, Opened electronic newspaper transfer its editorial staff to Ukraine. Quotation: "All of this (recent search in "Russkaya slugba novostei" radio-station, note by iTelegraff) convince me in my right decision to transfer the Forum.Msk editorial staff to Ukraine, left in Russia only correspondent's point. Russian authority stopped feel shy public opinion, and this is very dangerous symptom. The next stage of degradation of civil will "crime by mind" or "mind crime", not except".
Recently, Ukraine stand the last shelter not only for journalists (like Paris, during White emigration from Bolshevist Russia). Not long ago, in Kiev there are got political asylum who were persecuted at native land some activists of forbidden party National-Bolshevist party in Russia (writer Eduard Limonov's party), against whom Russian authorities institute legal proceedings.
iTelegraff, in its own blog have already wrote about opposition site Ingushetiya.ru. Russian judicial authority give us new cause to write about proud and independent Ingushs, who are marvellous cope with resistible form to active authority in Internet.

At the end of the last month, one of the local Moscow law-court, by Ingushetiya public prosecutor`s department request, till processing of cases about avowal this site like extremist and which is incite to disorder, has stoped site functioning. Piquancy of this situation in that site by itself placed at servers which in the same time placed outside Russian juridical authority jurisdiction.
Figure of this case, considered in law-court stand up for one's rights citizen of Ingushetiya (and accordingly Russia), Lawyer Magomed Evloev, at which the domain used by site have been registered.
He consider, that such law-court decision can be fulfil only at regional level, what is actually happening. All Ingushetiya ISP, which let Ingushs an access to Internet have already blocked an access to site. It don't prevent local population using anonymous proxy servers, publish messages about authority movements, about police tyranny in elude pursuit of opposition.
What is interesting, bailiff employment (it's juridical Russian Federation police) of the same district, as law-court, which do an disputable and ambiguous entry, comment following : "any judgment decree will fulfil in the proper way".
And editors' group of site by itself consider, that judgement decree apply don't to neither them nor site: "Judge make a decree, which don't oblige editorial staff to close the site. Decree apply Russian ISP block site IP-addresses. So such decree don't apply us. There reliable information are publish at our site, and we wouldn't do it more suitable for authorities. As we have been worked, so we will work in the same way".
By Webplanet Internet-publication information, there are come in Russian and hold actual talks, represents of search engine giant Yahoo.
This arrival concerned with American company hunger for appear at new market, to try rival with another search giant - Google, which settle long time ago in RUNET. Even have their Russian office and staff.

Reportedly, they try to arrange about Russian search engine Yandex buying, which for the time being - leader at Cyrillic character search market.
Another pretender to appear at Russian search systems market is Microsoft, which not so long ago, barely don't buy Yahoo. And which the same (as Yahoo and Google) interest in Russian Internet-market - search engine (read - advertising).
Experts, which assigning values of prospect such deals (buying - Yandex, for example), think, that and for Yahoo and for Microsoft (which can't follow by Google neither in search, nor in advertising income, and accordingly in cost) are very interesting national search systems and Russain Yandex and Chinese Baidu. Are very interesting by that markets at which placed local search leaders - are developing and very perspective.
Have no possibility about their position by law (demonstrations, picket lines, members, magazines and journals is closing, not allows, forbided, arrests by Russian power), Russian Federation power opposition, such named Another Russia, was found National Assambly (public parliament, if you like: Dark Parliament) in Internet.

Delegates in first convocation of dark parliament whole 659 people, but, most from all Russian county.
Except delegates' (participants) lists, the bigger part from them - persons from coalition Another Russia electoral list, there is and programme documents of oppositional parliament: Political declaration of National Russian Federation assembly and National Assembly Chater.
So, not looking at all barriers, making by Russian power and vacate to silence the voice of uncoordinated, opposition successfully seize uncontrolled by Kremlin territory - World Web.

Do you have electronic business in Russia? Is this business successful, which addressed to RUNET users? Do you think that at RUNET territory at rules of honest-competition? Do you think, that there, your competitors, knew about decency rules?
No, dears! Nothing of the sort. Not even rules from Wild West, about what you recognized from westerns. It is more frightful and harder there. If they didn't obtain to defile your business, if they couldn't lay down your resources (with DDoS and fishing help), you will be occupied by spamers.
Like in case of "competitive war" among hosting-provider Agava, whose site (at the time of writing survey) very (fishily) slowly opening (maybe site is under garbage traffic attack) and, competitor SlavHost.

Guys from Slavhost, on behalf of Agava they send out to hosting-providers clients spam-message, in which they inform, that Agava company stop their work from April 15th of current year, but, concluded contract with Slavhost, about transfer of all clients in this new company. Part of quatation: "Please, to avoid disconnection, realize transfer of your sites to April 15th 2008".
Journalists of online massmedia Webplanet.ru, trying to connect with support service Slavhost (and don't receive answer, not by phone, not by email), found at some pages "new, progressive" hosting operator, direction-pages, absolutely identical (by support) the same direction-pages of Agava company. At one of pages (where the question is about email clients settings), even name of smtp-server hosting-provider Agava didn't delete from text (didn't changed to analogous server Slavhost). So, text was just copied by Agava and paste to page Slavhost.
So, that is why, if you begin your business with Russian partner, so don't surprise, that at your reasonable question: "Can we receive data of your clients, which are using your service", you will meet suspicious look, and, possible not to receive such data. And maybe you would like to entice all clients, using "rules of Russian competitive practice"?
Yandex company, search leader of RUNET, offer to its users, free and unlimited (about volume) files-hosting. Yandex called this files-hosting like Narodny Disk.

What it can to do and what do Narodny Disk allow? Possibilities are just unlimited:
General volume - is unlimited. Maximum size of one file (one loading) - 750 Mb. Service support as calling redownload (when unexpectedly, during file downloading, session is interrupt).
All files can be kept secretly, to any of it you can let common access. Each of files, at search engine's servers will be kept for three months. Each file downloading (by any user), automatically "throw down" file keeping term on follow three months. If you like to prolong "keeping" file term, just use corresponding link from warning-letters, which are sending by Narodny Disk about approach ending such keeping term.
All files at Yandex server are examined by antiviral program. So, you have nothing to worry that together with file you receive and mortal "infection" for your desktop.
For download and redownload it is offered to use free and not so bad client of organization downloadings Download Master.
I recommend. All Yandex servers differ its good developmental work, made professional, have very simple interfaces and work without any failure. I think, you can investigate in functional of new search engine service, even if you don't know Russian language. Good luck.
Today, some net transactions receive strange spam from very popular magazine КоммерсантЪ.
In this message, on behalf of editor was placed information about that, magazine, from nowadays will appear in a new format - ... in roll format, and exactly in format roll of toilet format. It may be joke. However, today, near one from underground station in Moscow, young girls become to dispense among all passings such accessory:

At it placed trade mark of transaction КоммерсантЪ and the same (that in spam) main editor message.
Some time later, popular Moscow radio station report, that they got information at first hand. Main transaction editor (on behalf of whom and was sending out spam) refuted, that КоммерсантЪ lead such PR-share. And he suppose, that such share can be leaded by Putin's political shadow "Nashi" (it such, who in due time were an instigator of disorders in Estonia, halting with transfer monument "Unknown soldier"). КоммерсантЪ also become known, that distribution of toilet paper rolls was registered in Moscow city administration, like vigil. In publish house also suppose, that such share can lead in reply to critical (recent) publication in КоммерсантЪ, halting with this political movement.
