rekin.nm.ru was the personal website of Nizhny Novgorod watercolor painter Vladimir Ivanovich Rekin, listed in the nn.ru site catalog under the "/rub/" section with the description "Everything about the remarkable Nizhny Novgorod watercolorist — Rekin Vladimir Ivanovich"[1]. According to the web archive, the site was accessible from at least June 2003 to January 2004[1][2].

The single page about the artist

The site consisted of a single page with the technical title "New Page 1", with no menu, sections, or links — only a biographical text about the author[1]. As the home page stated, "Rekin Vladimir Ivanovich was born in 1942 in N. Novgorod"; he received his artistic education at children's art centers ("houses of creativity"), where he worked for 25 years, and from 1975 was a member of the USSR Union of Artists, as well as a laureate of the City of Nizhny Novgorod prize[1]. The text listed his solo exhibitions in Nizhny Novgorod — in 1985, 1988, 1991, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, and 2002 — as well as beyond the city: in Moscow (the Central House of Artists, 1994), at the Čiurlionis Museum in Lithuania (1993), in Alma-Ata (1995), and in Kassel, Germany (1998)[1]. The text called him "our well-known watercolorist" and described his artistic manner in detail — his work with color and texture in landscape, still life, and portraiture[1]. Between the June 2003 snapshot and the January 2004 snapshot, the page's content did not change[1][2].

Place in the Nizhny Novgorod internet

The site was listed in the nn.ru catalog, in its "/rub/" section[1] — one of the entry points through which Nizhny Novgorod users found local pages, alongside Counter.nn.ru and other catalogs of the Nizhny Novgorod Internet. No data on the site's ranking in counter.nn.ru or on votes cast for it at the Nizhny Novgorod Internet Day is recorded in our data[1].

Fate of the domain

The domain rekin.nm.ru does not exist as of the compilation of this survey[1]. The last known snapshot of the home page in the web archive is dated January 26, 2004[2]; later, in 2005, the archive recorded a redirect at this address to the IP address 212.48.140.154[2].
