.рф domain extension

The .рф domain, represented in the IANA record as xn--p1ai, is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Russian Federation rendered in Cyrillic script. It is managed by the Coordination Center for TLD RU, based in Moscow. The domain is open for registration by any individual or organization without specific residency restrictions, though all registrants must comply with Russian law. The name .рф stands for "Российская Федерация" (Russian Federation) and was introduced to provide a native-language option on the internet. The domain was delegated in the root zone on May 12, 2010, following a report on its delegation published in April 2010.
