spk.r2.ru was the site of the Nizhny Novgorod representative office of Stalepromyshlennaya kompaniya (Steel Industrial Company), which sold flat and long rolled steel, pipes, and metalware; the page was registered in the Nizhny Novgorod Internet nn.ru directory in the /rub/ section[1], and the home page itself listed the Nizhny Novgorod phone T/f (8312) 21-33-56, 21-33-57, 21-33-58 and the contact person Tarasova Elena Vladimirovna[2].

What the site offered

The nn.ru directory described the resource as a page for "METAL ROLLED PRODUCTS: flat rolled products, long rolled products, pipes, metalware, electrodes, welding equipment, galvanized profiles for drywall, etc. — Stalepromyshlennaya kompaniya (spk.r2.ru) — Nizhny Novgorod. Price list"[1]. On its home page the site described itself as a company that had been "10 YEARS IN THE METAL MARKET," whose core business was "large-wholesale and retail trade in rolled metal products," with a product range of "more than 2,000 items"[2]. The site's menu consisted of the sections "About the Company," "Strategy," "Address and Details," "Partners," "Special Offer," "Price List," "Product Range," "Terms of Cooperation," "Additional Services," and an "Place an Order" form[2]. According to the home page, long rolled products (rebar, beams, channel bars, square bars, round bars, hexagonal bars, angle bars) were supplied from the Magnitogorsk, Nizhny Tagil, and Chusovoy metallurgical plants and ZapSib MK, flat rolled products from 0.5 to 100 mm thick were supplied from Severstal, Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, NOSTA, and NLMK, and pipes were supplied from Pervouralsk New Pipe Plant[2]. Orders were to be placed "by phone or by email," for which the page listed the address nnspk@mail.ru[2]. The same set of sections, phone numbers, and text was preserved in a later snapshot of the home page[3].
