Soviet Union does not exist and SU domain is not retired.
- lostmsu 2y ago> Soviet Union does not exist That's what KGB wants you to think
- fragmede 2y agoKGB also doesn't exist anymore because it was renamed FSB.
- atemerev 2y agoKGB was split to what is now SVR (ex 1st main department) and what is now FSB (2nd main department), with some other organizations taking remaining roles. These days however, the Russian intelligence landscape is more complicated, with multiple semi-private organizations, informal groups, and other stakeholders.
- aguaviva 2y agoSeems they were referring to the "USSR Returns" subplot of Season 9, Episode 19: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson_Tide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson_Tide Ironically, there's some unintended truth in their reference (i.e. to all intents and purposes the KGB hasn't gone anywhere and basically is still around, just renamed/reorged) but that's an entirely different thread.
- racingmars 2y agoThe article addresses this: what happened with .su is part of what caused ICANN/IANA to update their policies to not have defunct country codes stick around.
- zinekeller 2y agoAdditionally (and more importantly), SU is still reserved in the ISO 3166 list (https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:SU https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:SU), so if United Kingdom somehow convinced ISO 3166 MA to reserve IO then it will be messy.
