Russian Cyberculture

Russian cyberculture. Does it exist? How does cyberculture develop in a country, which was isolated from the west for the entire cold war era? Mother Russia has been on the ropes lately. Still having the Soviet habit to insulate its people from the "evil West", the Russian government was very careful in letting Internet technology in to the territory of its Empire.

There are still many people in Russia who have no skills in Internet usage. Those people include the young as well as the older generations. Most Russians still have the wrong idea about computers. This was imposed by a Soviet education system which forced people to study first versions of boring programming languages. These people assume that computers are as complicated as Math. Specialized magazines promote that opinion using difficult terminology in their articles to describe simple things.

The author of an article says: "Internet is a magic and interesting device, simple as a telephone, but surrounded with myths and stereotypes. Internet is like a monster sitting on the golden treasure. Non-users are like a crowd of people standing near the monster's cave and afraid of going in without a guide. There are also guardians who are sitting in front of the cave and


This situation was very convenient for Russia. Government was glad that Internet was not causing big problems and it did not distract from the work. Also people were happy that there was no pressure and nobody forced them to use Internet.

Thousands of Russian organizations were supposed to realize the importance of the Internet and start using it. The fact of this slow process can be explained by a weak Russian society which was poisoned with all myths about Internet. Sites created for many organizations are in most cases playing the role of business cards, but in most of the cases do not even reach that level.

Internet suggests it is a user service, not an ideology. Governments assume that through all kinds of service people can be influenced with new/different ideology. They see a political problem here. This problem is not "how to protect Internet users and to regulate their activity", but "how to protect the rest of the world from the Net and its users".

Endless porn sources for a comparatively small cyberspace proves porn urgency. Even researchers are trying to say the opposite: there is no sex in Russian cyberspace".

Problem of Internet as a political institution in Russian should be considered as information distribution development. So what changes did accompany Russian net establishment?
