rankalinka.nn.ru was the website of the Nizhny Novgorod "Russian Real Estate Agency "Kalinka"", which operated in the Nizhny Novgorod Internet zone nn.ru. In the nn.ru directory the site was listed under the real estate category (/rub/) with the description: "information about the company, a real estate database for Nizhny Novgorod and the region, services, a real estate mortgage lending program, reference information, online consultations, a forum". The earliest surviving web-archive snapshots of the site date to 2003, the latest to 2009[1][2].

What the site looked like and what it offered

The home page was divided into two menu sections. The "About the Company" block included the items "business concept", "our foundation and support", "human resources", "information resources", "financial support", "training and vacancies", "our offices". The "Areas of Activity" block listed realty services (buyout, exclusive sale, property upgrade), legal services (transaction support, drafting contracts, consultations), representation services (privatization, redevelopment, conversion to non-residential use), an item "mortgage", and, marked separately as "new", "open auctions"[2].

In the "business concept" section, headed "The Best Solutions for the Business Class", the site stated that the company "was legally founded in November 2002 on the basis of a group of professionals who have worked on the Nizhny Novgorod real estate market since its emergence in 1992". As the home page stated, its areas of activity were "providing brokerage services in the real estate market", legal services for transaction support, representation services — privatization, approval of redevelopment, conversion of residential premises to non-residential stock, registration of rights to land plots and inheritance — as well as arranging and processing loans for the purchase of residential apartments, apartments in new developments, houses, land plots, and commercial real estate. The company claimed to operate on a "turnkey" basis, and that its professional liability was insured with "Renaissance Insurance Group LLC" ("OOO Gruppa kompaniy Renessans Strakhovanie")[2]. The earliest surviving snapshot, from 2003, contained only the company name and an invitation to "enter" — the full version with the business-concept description appeared later[1].

Place in the Nizhny Novgorod internet

The site was included in the nn.ru directory under the real estate category (/rub/)[1]. In the surviving Counter.nn.ru data, a rating figure of 23.0 is recorded for it, but no votes for it appear in our data — none are found in the surviving counter samples[1]. The material contains no information about the site's participation in the Nizhny Novgorod Internet Day.

How it closed

Based on the available data, the domain's fate is marked as "no domain": the material contains no information of its own about the site moving to another address[1]. The last known web-archive snapshot of the home page is dated 20 February 2009[2].
