Hannah Montana has arrived in Russia. Disney’s getting very local around the world, as Disney.ru joins counterparts in the UK and Japan. The Russian-language site has similar features to other Disney Web properties, with sections featuring movies, TV, games, and marketing of Disney offline attractions, all of which can be navigated by individual Disney characters, the company’s press release says. Gosh, maybe it’s controlled by the FSB! Just kidding, but read in the International Herald Tribune about a parody site called FSBook.ru that makes a joke out of Russian “fears about how personal information that is freely shared on social networks may be used by government agencies” like the former KGB. It does give new meaning to concerns about posting personal info in a social site!
