Actually it's not another reference on the subject. It quotes the 
same article, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone from the people 
the journalist talked to gave the information. Yes, it's true that 
countries have their own "deployment", as Alexei Sozonov says, but 
somehow this deployment has not turned into the Internet. Neither the 
Russian users have stopped using the Internet, in favour of some 
other, different, smaller, Russian-language-only Internet. Plus, the 
fact that a private company, domain registrar, wants to have more 
domains to register, is not surprising.

Again - read the sources, not the quotes.

best,
Veni
