For many years, Russia remained one of the few countries in the world in which Google was not search engine number 1. But the situation is gradually changing.

In April 2016, the Russian audience of Google in major cities of the Russian Federation amounted to 20.5 million people, “Yandex” - 20.4 million.

In the third place, Mail.ru with an audience of 19.3 million.

In the daily audience, Yandex is still in first place on the Runet: 12.3 million people, in second place is Vkontakte (12.1 million), and Google is third (11 million).

The TNS sample included an audience of 12-64 years in cities with a population of more than 700 thousand people. According to the survey results, in these cities, 87% of the population periodically use the Internet, daily - 78.2%.
