Yup. IANA dind't have ccTLD retiring procedures yet, when Soviet Union collapsed in 1990. But would they want to, they could delist it at any point. IANA holds the registry for all TLDs and - that's extreme and unlikely - could de

I'd guess that it's actually a requirement. Domains registered under ccTLDs (country-code top level domains) are managed by regional bodies[0]. In case of .su, it's either RIPN or ROSNIIROS[1] which manages the registry and r

ICANN and IANA could effectively delist .su despite Russian Federation's "decline". How much silly and outdated the WHOIS protocol is, the client queries IANA and only then is forwarded to RIPN (Russian Institute for Public N

Theoretically .io should cease to exist as well but apparently TLDs can be "too big to fail"[0], too. But officially, there's a 5 years-long grace period after which .io is deemed to be sunshined[1]. > In essence, a five-y

Poland joining NATO was "an existential threat" to Soviet Russia, too. It's bullshit. The CCCP pretty much collapsed on its own. There's no "threat" now. Putin is just desperately trying to rebuild what Gorbach
