Internet Day in Russia

The date of September 30 has taken root in Russia . IT Infoart Stars sent out a proposal to companies and organizations to support their own initiative, which consists of several points: to designate September 30 as “Internet Day”, to celebrate it annually and to conduct a “census of the Russian-speaking Internet”. At that time, the number of users reached 1 million people.
May 17, 1991 is another birthday of the Internet. Until this day, there was email, newsletters, and file transfer. And on May 17, 1991, the standard for WWW (World Wide Web) pages was approved - in fact, this is what we mean today when we talk about the Internet.
