It is also the first ever .int domain, and indeed the original motivation for creating .int (to replace the short lived .nato)
Remember tpc.int?
Has it gone now? Yeah I remember it.

Ukrainians were not the only ones to suffer from the famines back then. Multiple parts of the USSR actually did. It doesn't seem like a targeted action on behalf of the govt.
>Multiple parts of the USSR actually did. Yes but not like in Ukraine.
Yeah, sure.
Re: .su
#213For me .su is a kind of historical curiousity. Not sure if I like it or not, or if it should be phased out, but there are a bunch of Soviet Union related sites in there too and sometimes these are pretty amusing (how about a site of the CPSU?) Also there's sudo.su :) Source: am Russian.
There's also aboynamed.su, that is a reference to the Jhonny Cash song [1] The domain description is actually some part of the lyrics of the song [2] [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOHPuY88Ry4 [2]: https://www.whois.com/whois/aboynamed.su
Just an embellishment: that Johnny Cash song's words were written by children's author and poet Shel Silverstein.

#214I wonder what happens to .co.uk if the UK dissolves, which seems more possible than it should be after Brexit?
It wouldn't be any great upheaval. The component kingdoms of the UK would still be separately sovereign realms of the Commonwealth with the same monarch and royal succession. I imagine the process is now well established, as the Commonwealth has more than 50 countries in it, with 16 of them still constitutional monarchies.
.uk would probably remain just as grandfathered-in as it is right now, given that the official 2-letter country code is gb .

Is that the country where they have torch marches in the capital? Neonazi torch march in Kiev, Ukraine: https://youtu.be/tHhGEiwCHZE
The "Neonazi" country you refer to simultaneously had a head of state and a head of government who were Jewish until a couple of months back.
Unfortunate lack of comma - do you mean they converted to another religion now? /s

#216Russian flag-carrier Aeroflot also has SU IATA code.
And the hammer and sickle logo. For Soviet-nostalgia buffs looking for a domain, although most obvious choices like CCCP, KGB, Lenin, Stalin and even Gorbachev and perestroika are registered under .su, GLASNOST.SU is available.

That's a bit like suggesting Napoleon admirers should register waterloo.fr ...
(yes, I know it's not in France, but this fits the joke better)

#217I wonder what the most exclusive tld is . probably .gov or .mil
Price-wise the gTLDs for $3-$4,000/year like .Cars or .Security are exclusive.

I am from Georgia, not Ukraine. First of all they are Nationalists, not Nazists. I am not supporting nationalist too but anyway that is very different terms even if they can sound similarly. Second I am pretty sure you can find hundreds of real nazist in any country. But even if we suppose that people on video are nazist making inference about country based on minority is very big mistake.
That's much more serious than that. Neo-nazi batallion integrated in the Ukrainian army [0]. The Mirotvorets site (Peacekeeper in Ukrainian, what an Orwellian name), curated by Ukrainian successor to KGB, publishing personal information of "enemies of the Ukraine" including journalists, some of which later got murdered [1]. Streets named after Nazi collaborators who are called heroes now. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org…

TLDs based on political entities do seem like a bit of a bad idea https://eurid.eu/en/register-a-eu-domain/brexit-notice/
Definitely a danger. The worst is that ppl can't even redirect their old traffic if they have to switch domains.
If someone really wants uk in their TLD they can always go with .uk.com - totally unrestricted.
