About this network

BOTIK is the public network of Pereslavl-Zalessky, a small historic town north-east of Moscow. It grew out of the Program Systems Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, whose botik.ru domain the network still carries, and is operated today by Botik Technologies LTD.

What it's used for

• Internet access for the town: the institute, local schools and organisations, and residential and small-business subscribers in and around Pereslavl-Zalessky.

Notable

• This is a research institute that became a town's ISP. The Program Systems Institute built the network in the 1990s as civic infrastructure for a town that no commercial operator was in a hurry to serve, and the operating company grew out of it.
• The name is a local joke with a long memory: the botik is Peter the Great's little boat, preserved at Pereslavl on Lake Pleshcheyevo as the origin of the Russian navy.
• The footprint is a few thousand addresses, the honest size of a single-town network.
