Russia.com is a great name, and a pretty good price. With the English version selling for 1.5 million, I’m wondering how much Россия.com must be worth in the actual Russian language. 10x 100x ? Interesting to consider, considering the huge amount of news coming out of Russia regarding cyrillic domains.
