Russia Cracks Down on .ru Domain

Russia has finally realized that they may have a problem with it's .ru domain registration process. They are tightening the restrictions and increasing the difficulty in obtaining a domain name. In Mother Russia domain cracks down on you.

Starting April 1, anyone who registers a .ru domain will need to provide a copy of their passport or, for businesses, legal registration papers. Right now, domains can be set up with no verification -- a practice that has allowed scammers to quickly set up .ru domains under bogus names.
