# [Russian ccTLD .—Ä—Ñ On the Move](https://www.websitemagazine.com/domains/russian-cctld-on-the-move)

**New internationalized domain name .—Ä—Ñ (which stands for –†–æ—Å—Å–∏–π—Å–∫–∞—è –§–µ–¥–µ—Ä–∞—Ü–∏—è, or Russian Federation in English), which opened less than one week ago on November 11th, will reach 460,000 registration today.**

 

The extension has been immensely popular as approximately 100,000 domains were registered in less than three hours after the opening general registration. 

 

ICANN representative Veni Markovski **[noted](https://blog.icann.org/2010/11/russian-idn-cctld-%D1%80%D1%84-opens-for-registrations-makes-history/)** that the initial response has exceeded their initial expectations. 

 

Markovski also noted that a black list of 4,023 words exists (mostly vulgar) that are not allowed for registration. Users however are finding ways to bypass this by placing words in front and/or behind the contentious words.

 

**A snapshot of the .—Ä—Ñ growth:**
