According to the official website of the Ministry of Education now all 56,000 schools in Russia are connected to the Internet, meaning every region of Russia has access to any blog and any social media. The Russian government encourages its citizens to apply technology on a day-to-day basis. The news feed unveils the state’s initiative to develop a platform that a Home Office suite can be used, to enable submitting the necessary documents for issuing an international passport online. In fact, by 2011 all of us will have to be Internet literate.
Since much earlier than 2011 – i.e. now - we have been moving to the cyber space. A significant proof of this, is the phenomenon of social media getting extremely popular in Russia. For example, VKontakte is said to mirror Facebook. However, at the moment Facebook has introduced its Russian version, which even promotes VKontakte as a community partner. According to the research conducted by comScore, Russian Internet users are leading worldwide by the time spent on social network websites.
