The only Cyrillic geographical extension in the first rounds on new gTLDs is that of the Russian capital Moscow: .москва. .москва will be operated together with the Western variant .moscow and aims at creation of an online brand for the city of Moscow. The .moscow domains will attract additional audience to Moscow-related websites and provide a stable base for the digital equivalent of the city.
The difference of the two extensions is the audience that is intended to be reached: .москва aims at the local public, which makes it reasonable that only Cyrillic domain names are supported. .moscow on the other hand aims at the international public and accepts the Latin alphabet. Of course, .moscow can be used for regional purposes as well. Often a combination of those two extensions will be utilized.
Part of the launch plan of those extensions is the Landrush. During the Landrush everybody can register his domain. The price depends on when you register the domain: the sooner you register, the higher the price. The table below lists the prices per period in the Landrush:
