Hello,

Please could someone give me an appraisal for this domain? I'm not a native Russian, but I have gathered that it is the Russian word for "Russian", as in the possessive tense, such as "Russian Federation" or "Russian Newspaper" etc. The word on its own has 4,090,000 hits on Google and Overture is 29, but Yandex (approximate Russian equivalent of Overture) says "Что искали со словом «российская» — 491356 показов в месяц.".

In English (according to Babelfish), that is: "What searched for with the word "Russian" - 491356 demonstrations per month." That's quite a lot of searches, I think...

Anyone got a rough idea of how much the domain could be worth?

Thanks in advance

Whoops, the number of Google hits for российская is actually 25,400,000 not 4,090,000, sorry.

Anyone got any ideas of its value?

I think it's actually a bit more specific than that.

I'm not a native Russian speaker, but to my recollection the normal word for Russian (Russian language, Russian people, Russian beer) is:

русский
русская
русское

Note that there are 3 genders in Russian: masculine, feminine, neuter.

And this is only in the nominative case.

The word for Russia as an entity is Россия, so it looks to me like your adjective means pretty much solely "having to do with the entity of Russia itself." So it could refer to "Russian newspaper," but only if it's referring to the newspaper for Russia, not generally a Russian-language or Russian-ethnic newspaper.

Any better Russian speakers, feel free to correct or comment on my what I've said.

As far as appraisal, I'll leave that to someone else.
