Yep. What has Ukraine (and ISP from here) to do with your, Russian goverment? We have ours, thank you.
Nope. Here you are wrong. RIPN had monopolized RU. Internic had monopolized COM, NET, ORG and EDU. RIPE had monopolized a big block of IP address space. God had monopolized the Universe. How far it is possible to get thinking that way ?
