fdsr-pfo.narod.ru was the site of the representation of the Russian DanceSport Federation in the Volga Federal District, hosted in the free narod.ru zone[1]. The nn.ru directory described it as the page of the RDSF representation in the Volga Federal District, the Nizhny Novgorod Dancesport Federation, and a rating of dance couples with a list of clubs[2]. The site's Nizhny Novgorod link is the contact phone number with the 8312 area code given on the page itself[2].
What the site looked like
The 2002 snapshot captures only the opening screen: as the home page stated, "please use Macromedia Flash Player to view" — meaning the site's content was hidden inside a Flash animation and was not preserved by the web archive[1]. By late 2004 the site had switched to a text design and presented itself under the name "Sivers-dance"[2]. The home page listed Yuri Sivers — as the page stated, "Vice President of the Russian DanceSport Federation, chairman of the dancesport representation in the Volga Federal District, President of the Nizhny Novgorod DanceSport Federation, head of the "YUNOST" sport dance studio"[2]. The same page announced enrollment for courses — as the home page stated, "is enrolling for dance courses for same-sex couples" — with a sign-up phone number of 8312-364475[2].
Place in the Nizhny Novgorod internet
The site was listed in the nn.ru directory under the /rub/ section[2]. In the surviving samples of the Counter.nn.ru counter, no votes or visitor figures for it appear — there is no data in the sample[2]. No information about participation in the Nizhny Novgorod Internet Day has survived in the material.
How it closed
The last recorded trace of the site in the web archive is dated January 29, 2005. No data on the domain being moved to another address has survived; as of the census the domain is listed as dead[2].
