Thanks Duke, check out this article. Great idea for someone at Intel to start this in Russia. It can only pay nice dividends down the road. sptimes.ru Yandex Wins Big At Intel Ceremony By Andrew Boag SPECIAL TO THE ST. PETERSBURG TIMES MOSCOW - The stars were out and not in small numbers at the Intel Russian Internet Awards held at Moscow's Gorky Art Theater last week, with guest presenters including Russian television celebrities Dmitry Dibrov and Lev Novozhyonov. The nominees were selected by submissions made to the Russian Internet Academy, a body of academics and Internet professionals. Yandex (http://www.yandex.ru) made frequent trips to the podium, taking five prizes: the best search engine and catalogue of goods and services, the award for online services, the press prize, the '"Web Chooses You" award - decided by visitors to the ceremony's site (http://www.nagrada.ru) - and the Grand Prix of the Russian Internet. In addition, Yandex general director Arkady Volozh was named RuNet's man of the year. The information and sociopolitical category was taken by Gazeta.ru (http://www.gazeta.ru), a site that claims its news is so fresh that if it were on paper, the ink would always be wet. Ekho Moskvy (http://www.echo.msk.ru) won for covering traditional news on the Internet, and its popular program EkhoNet (http://www.echonet.ru) took the award for reporting Internet news. In a nod at concerns over keeping the Russian language "clean" and correctly spoken, the Russian Language Information Portal (http://www.gramota.ru) took the education and science award. Russia's great architects were given a pat on the back when the Architecture of Russia Web site (http://www.archi.ru) took the art and museums award. The prestigious literature category was awarded to the Russian Reading Circle Magazine (http://www.russ.ru/krug). The online art award, dedicated to Internet-orientated projects by a single artist, went to Darya Tchuzhbina's site (http://dasha.paragraph.ru). The Russian Internet Academy created the children and youth category to encourage the development of sites for children. The Virtual Kids Children's Portal (http://www.vkids.ru) took the prize for its simple, user-friendly design and relevant, well-organized content. Popular site Zvuki.ru (http://www.zvuki.ru) was the music victor. Although other online music sites have seen a good deal of publicity in recent months, Zvuki.ru claims to be the largest legal music encyclopedia in Eastern Europe. The development of Russian e-commerce has been inhibited by the distrust of the banking system and an affinity for making payments in cash. It was, therefore, encouraging to see high-quality players in the e-commerce category. Internet bookstore OZON (http://www.ozon.ru) walked away with the trophy.
