Following ICANN's (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) announcement of a radical shake-up of the Internet last week, Russia will create its first Internet addresses using the Cyrillic alphabet next year, Communications Ministry Official Vladimir Vassiliev said.

Many Russians are unable to surf the Web using Latin alphabets; the ability to surf the Web entirely in Russian would mean a jump in number of Internet users; in Vassiliev's opinion. The ministry wants to see the number of Internet users climb from 35 million at the end of last year to nearly 46 million by the end of this year.
