The site, in 1999
The online home of Sport-Express, a Russian daily sports newspaper started in 1991 by journalists who left Sovetsky Sport.
The first issue came out on 14 August 1991, with Vladimir Kuchmiy as editor-in-chief. By 2003 its claimed print run of 650,000 put it third among Russian dailies. The website sport-express.ru opened on 1 March 1999.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
