It's becoming already like a game of a broken phone (which perhaps 
you haven't played in the US, as the phones don't break there ;)

The Russian translation is not accurate, at least not when citing the 
source of the "news". It's one thing to say, "sources in military 
uniform say this", and it's different to actually claim, "we learn 
that the Security Council of the Russian Federation has declared that 
Russia will create its own Web, in Cyrillic, "completely independent 
from the traditional WWW."

Milton, you didn't actually learn this thing about the Russian 
Security Council, because you couldn't learn it. I, on the other 
hand, have read the original article back in July, and have made my 
research on the actual source, not the ones "in military uniforms". 
The Russian (and Bulgarian, for that sake) media are full with such 
bombastic headlines, which aim at bringing more readers, not bringing 
more news. If I were you, I'd do my survey first, before claiming so 
strong statements. But, then, I am not you.
