The site, in 1997

An independent English- and Russian-language newspaper, in print in Russia from 1992 to 2017 and now online from Amsterdam.

Derk Sauer founded it in 1992. Its website opened in December 1997, with story summaries free and full text for subscribers. It went online-only in 2017, and in 2022 it moved its base to Amsterdam.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
