According to data, received by the W3Techs company during a thorough analysis of popular Internet web sites (there have been checked about a million of them), the Russian language took the second place by popularity in the Web.

It is amazing that in a very short time, Russian-language web sites are largely ahead of their German counterparts. The experts attribute this to the increase in the number of domains.RU, which in September 2011 was named the most popular in Russia.

It should also highlight that the fact that the Russian language is often used at the web site in the domain.SU, and the owners of Ukrainian and Belarusian, Kazakh and Tajik and Uzbek portals often use Russian to publish various information.
