    Hello!
    When doing some research I found rather strange stuff: ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/control/comp/comp.compression.gz

    It looks like this was indeed of the central bank of Russia - or was
    the path forged?
    Does somebody know more about that?
    Why did the bank operate a Usenet server?

    I cannot speak to the control message itself, but back when the Internet was much smaller, almost every decently-sized organization that had a presence on the Internet ran a Usenet server. It doesn't surprise me that the Central Bank of Russia would have had servers.

    Since neva.ru went offline some years ago, I don't think I've seen any Russian servers in a Path header, at least not from the .ru TLD. Are there still any
    in Russia that are peering?

    There are usenet.network, news.kraft-s.ru, ddt.demos.su, news.tambov.ru
