launched the search engine
Sputnik.ru .
The search engine reported on work for the year: he filtered out 2 billion pages with dangerous content, launched the “Poster for Children and Parents” in 37 cities of Russia, navigator in 150 thousand state organizations in 83 regions and their own maps.

On the first day of work, 550 thousand people visited the site, and in the first 10 days 2 million people used it. Then the attendance fell: according to TNS Russia, in June 2014, 508 thousand people used the services, and after the agency did not evaluate the attendance of Sputnik.

Sputnik has socially important services, including Sputnik. Children and Drugs. The League of Safe Internet called Sputnik the safest search engine for children in runet. To filter the content, the service used its own technologies and data, and data on dangerous websites from partners - Kaspersky Lab, the Netoscope project and Roskomnadzor.

maps contain 2.2 million buildings. Most of the data provided are social infrastructure objects of the settlements. According to the report, 85 partners use these cards, including the Administration of St. Petersburg and the Kazan public transport service.
The service helps to get directions, but does not display traffic jams and travel time.

RBC sources are talking about a goal to reach 1 million users of all Sputnik projects per month by 2015. Igor Ashmanov, Ashmanov and Partners, is sure that the main thing for a search engine is contracts with manufacturers of smartphones. But “Sputnik”, as the entrepreneur believes, will not be able to enter the market, where there is “Yandex” and Google.
Hermann Klimenko, founder of LiveInternet, says that Sputnik may enter the top 10 Runet search engines, but is unlikely to become one of the ten most visited sites.
