Thus, Russia has become one of the first countries to submit such a request: for the first time in the Internet’s history, a country has applied for a domain with a full-fledged use of the Cyrillic alphabet – domain .РФ. Now that the application has been submitted one should wait for the completion of the ICANN’s verification procedures and the official delegation of domain .РФ.
