Matvey Alexeev, FAITID CEO: "Among the applications for the new top-level domains that were filed within the New gTLD Program, there is a group of TLDs for cities: London, Madrid, Berlin, Tokyo, New York... We've applied for two domains for the Russian capital: .МОСКВА and .MOSCOW, and the domain written in Cyrillic has also successfully passed the initial evaluation phase.
