- Selected sample units: total of 63 provinces and republics, 98 regions, 203 urban and rural settlements, 314 polling stations.
- Face-to-face interviews with 3000 respondents age 18 and older at the respondents' homes.
- Method employed – Nielsen//NetRatings Inc. method of screening Internet users.
- To each category of Internet users are assigned all those who in response to the question, "Have you ever used the Internet?
If so, when did you last do so?"
answered:
"in the last twenty-four hours," "last week," "last month," "in the last three months," "in the last six months".
- The Report 'Internet in Russia' is published 4 times a year (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter)
- Calculations are made quarterly based on aggregate data. A total of 15-21,000 respondents were interviewed in the last 5-7 polls.

Nielsen//NetRatings Global Internet Trends™ Regional Reports, Quarter 4, 2005;
October - December 2005.

The assessment of respondents' desire to start using Internet was based on responses to following questions:
«Do you want to use Internet? If yes, when do you plan to start using it?».
The respondents were only those who do not currently use Internet.

«within one month»,
«within three months »,
«within six months »,
