RU: Regierung greift nach dem Internet-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- des Russischen Human Rights Network, einem Mitglied der Global Internet Liberty Campaign. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- On 28 December 1998 Russian premier minister Vladimir Putin and members of the goverment met Russian Internet community representatives. During that meeting the minister of communication and information Leonid Reitman announced his plans on governmental control over registration of new domain names in Russian .ru zone. A new structure will be created for this purpose only, said the minister. In draft document obtained from the government it is described as new sites must be created and registered. Separately from all other events this information means almost nothing since there are no strict limitations in papers presented by the government. However the growing interest of Russian government towards Internet became bad tradition after Reitman declared earlier that Internet should be controlled by the government for "bad sites" to be closed and next attempt of Russian powers to review the Internet "official status" as mass media with mandatory registration and licensing of websites. The governmental discomfort has been amplified after two major events. The first one was the Chechen site which offered "alternative" information about the current war campaign (often polar to one produced by governmental media). The second one was scandal around the results of parliamenrtary elections published on the Web (it is prohibited by Russian laws to publish such materials in mass media while elections are going on; however, Internet is not mentioned in home legislation as "mass media").
