The development of the Internet in Russia: the regions are still in the Stone Age
Yandex has released a new information bulletin “Internet Development in the Regions of Russia” ( PDF ). The study was based on data from various Yandex services — blog search, Market, news search, Yandex City project, as well as information from the Public Opinion Foundation (FOM), TNS, RU-Center and the project Black square". Yandex specialists calculated the values of several key indicators characterizing the spread of the Internet and the activity of users on the Internet for each federal district and for Russia as a whole.
The most obvious fact passes through the entire study with the red thread: Russian regions are still very far from the two capitals (Moscow and St. Petersburg) in everything that concerns the Internet. Some facts are just shocking. For example, provincial Internet users are 16 times less likely to use the services of online stores than Muscovites. The level of development of the blogosphere in Moscow is eleven times higher than the regional one. The number of domains per thousand users in Moscow is seven times more than the average for federal districts. Comparison of capitals and regions is given in the table.
In terms of Internet penetration, Moscow overtakes the regions by more than two and a half times. By media activity - in a half.

In St. Petersburg, Internet penetration is one and a half times higher than the regional average. Online media activity is only slightly above average. But the level of development of the blogosphere and the number of domains per thousand users in St. Petersburg is higher than in the regions, ten and five times, respectively. Online shopping activity is also six times higher than the regional average.
Other findings of the study are shown below.
• The Far East has the least online media, but the Far Eastern media are the most active.
• According to two important indicators of Internet user activity (development of the blogosphere and consumer online activity), the Urals is leading among the federal districts. On average, the Urals Federal District is ahead of the average Russian indicators of Internet activity twice. Obviously, Yekaterinburg has a strong influence on the indicators of the Urals - the third city in Russia in terms of Internet penetration and the fourth most populous.
• The number of sites in RuNet in 2007 increased by 66%. The number of domains registered in the regions is growing somewhat slower (57% over the last year).
• Most domains per thousand users (after Moscow and St. Petersburg) are registered in the Central Federal District (21) at the expense of the Moscow region. Without the MO in the Center, there are only 7 domains per thousand users. In general, the regions account for only 20% of Russian domains.
• The largest Internet penetration (among seven federal districts) is in the North-Western (31%) and Far Eastern (28%) regions.
• Most Internet users (not counting Moscow and St. Petersburg) are in the Center (17% of all Russian users). Least of all - in the Urals and the Far East (6% and 5% respectively).
