Russian "smart" search engine Nigma.ru has rebranded itself in cyrillic to Нигма.РФ.
Not to shabby for as big of a site that it is.
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/nigma.ru (Yeah, Yeah, I know it's Alexa.)
The idea of updating the logo Nigmy came after market research showed that Russian speakers are much easier to remember and type in the address bar Cyrillic domain than the domain, written in Latin letters.
According donbass.ua department of public relations company, the new logo also emphasizes that intelligence search technology Nigmy primarily focused on the Russian-speaking users. According to statistics, 71.64% of users Nigma.RF live in Russia, 14.91% - in Ukraine and about 6% - in Kazakhstan and Belarus.
Victor Lavrenko, head of the development team Nigma.RF: "We believe that the Cyrillic domain names will soon become very popular in Russia. For example, according to the 2002 census in Russia English know only 4,8% of the population. Therefore, for marketers and advertisers Cyrillic domains are opening new opportunities to work with a wider audience. "
