For other uses, see Runet (disambiguation).

Runet (portmanteau of ru (Russia's top-level domain) and net (common abbreviation of internet)) is a widely used term that pertains to Internet domains and websites, and has several terminological uses. The term "Runet" has been used by media, journalists and politicians, but it's often unclear what they mean by this term.

Runet is a term without clear definition, however it is clear that Runet is not completely synonymous with Internet in Russia or Internet in Russian language, but rather is a summation of Russian-language Internet, Internet in Russia and other countries of the world where there is a a significant portion of Russian-language citizens.

An additional source for the confusion is the lack of English-language terminological division between three varieties of "Russian": the Russian language (russkij jazyk), members of the majority ethnicity of the country (russkie), and even citizens of the country Rossiya (rossiyane). Said confusion carried over into a country domain that, in its own language, sounds to be attributed to the language or the culture, but not the country itself.

Historically he term Runet has been described as:

  • Russian-language Internet. According to the definition in Yandex slovari dictionary published in 2001, "Runet is Russian Internet. The borders of Internet are usually not based on the "geographical borders", but rather on "languages", and therefore the term Runet is usually considered to be not only websites in .ru domain, but also all Russian-language and/or Russian-oriented websites"[1]. "Economic dictionary" of 2009 says "Runet is Russian-language part of the Internet"[2]. This is a common meaning of Runet. Practically, this definition makes it the Russian-language online community of post-Soviet states and their diasporas.
  • .ru domain. Runet is the part of Internet, whose websites are in top-level .ru domain[1]. This definition would exclude Russian (language) or Russian (country) sites intentionally using other domains. Highly popular alternative domains include as ".da" or ".net" for humorous impact or strength of statement (as these mean yes and no, respectively, in Russian), popular havens for illegal activities like ".me" (piracy) or ".cz" (to avoid prosecution for facilitation of prostitution), or ".com" for international expansion - the latter being home to Russia's #2 site by Alexa rank, domestic-owned and based international social network Vk.com
  • Internet in the Russian Federation. According to the definitions found in Finansovy Slovar' and some early-version Yandex slovari dictionaries (disputed by revisions), "Runet is the Russian part of Internet"[3][4]. Also, Russian officials strongly suggest that Runet is the Internet in Russia[5][6])
