Katerina,
I think you should say that not all libraries in Russia use “filtered internet”.

Emppu Holopainen, it depends upon the library inner policy. Usually content is filtered on the computers for patrons, sometimes on librarians’ PCs. Some libraries even ban IM services for librarians.

Thanks for your fast answer, and sorry for my missunderstanding.

Just one further question on that topic: Is the filtering implemented by the libraries technical department, or is the internet in Russia filtered in general?

Thanks for your appreciation.

Emppu Holopainen, by “filtered internet” I ment that some so to say entertaining sites are filtered out, like livejournal or loveplanet. I haven’t heard of filtering sites that contains government critics.

You write that you have “filtered internet”. Does that mean, that you can’t visit sites that bear government critical content? Is it no problem to write about the filtering then?

By the way, Alexey is right: Great article!
