Riding the Infobahn to Russia


It has been pretty hard to miss the hype about the internet this past year. News media have been rife with gushing stories about the revolutionizing effect the ‘global information superhighway’ will have on commerce, education and government.

Needless to say, the internet has a lot of housecleaning and organizing to do before it will be an easily searchable, truly useful business or educational resource. But that will come.

In the meantime, Russian Life editors spent a good deal of time searching the internet to offer our readers a short, Practical Traveler’s guide to the internet’s World Wide Web (unless otherwise specified, web addresses are in the inset boxes). Our emphasis is not on superficial, ‘surfing the net’ in search of pretty graphics or games. Instead, we went in search of content — information that would be of use and interest to someone fascinated by Russia.
