Internet in Russia: new statistics
The Public Opinion Foundation published the results of the next study “The Internet in Russia / Russia on the Internet”: Issue 23, Spring 2008 . Such surveys are conducted quarterly since 2002 using the same methodology, so they give an accurate picture of the industry dynamics.
The last reporting quarter is notable for almost the largest increase in Internet users in Russia in the history of measurements. The Russian audience (six months, that is, used the Internet at least once in the last 6 months) has grown to a record 32.7 million, accounting for 29% of the population. The daily audience increased from 13.1 million to 15.7 million (14% of the population).

By the way, the daily audience has been growing the fastest lately. Over the past two and a half years, it has doubled, while the six-month audience has increased only one and a half times over the same period. Now 45% of users go online every day: the rate of activity has increased greatly in recent years.
The number of users between the ages of 25 and 34 has grown the most, but in the age group of 35-44 there is no progress at all. The youngest audience lives in the Volga region and Siberia. The most advanced older people in Russia live in St. Petersburg.
The latest FOM reports do not indicate accurate statistics for Moscow “due to high statistical error”. But from other figures it is clear that about a third of the total Internet audience lives in Moscow and a little less than half of the daily audience (due to the greater activity of users in Moscow). Actually, it was so before, although the share of Moscow on both indicators is gradually decreasing.
Among other statistical indicators, one more tendency should be noted, which has been preserved for six years. More and more Russians are going online from home. Since 2002, the share of home users has grown from 32% to 69%. This is much more than at work (40%), although five years ago it was quite the opposite. Here it is - the true cause of the growing popularity of UGC services.
Interestingly, in St. Petersburg the share of home Internet users is even higher than in Moscow, although Moscow is leading in all other “advanced indicators” (activity, penetration level, etc.).
By the number of Internet users, Russia has almost reached the UK, although it still remains at the level of developing countries. If we take two indicators together, then Russia as a whole (32.7 million users and 29% of penetration) is most similar to Brazil (34 million and 26%, respectively). The only "islands of Europe" are Moscow and St. Petersburg.
