The Internet space is an incredibly vast information field, with which no archive and no library can be compared. The two components of this field are unique information and its citation. According to the golden rule of the information age, the one who owns the information is the most influential. Accordingly, citation is an indicator of the influence of a particular person on the masses.
The Medialogia company regularly conducts statistical research that identifies the most cited information sources in Russia on the Internet. The company publishes the latest research results on its website every month, six months and a year. The system base includes almost 10 thousand different sources, which include not only Internet resources, social networks and blogs, but also the print press, television and radio.
To determine the citation frequency, specific citations, the number of links to materials and the visibility of these messages are taken into account. In the rating of the most cited Russian bloggers over the past six months, there are about fifty people.
The most cited Russian blogger over the past six months has become a lawyer, social activist and political scientist Alexei Navalny. Immediately behind him in the ranking is the former Minister of Finance Alexei Kudrin, and the "bronze" went to the traveler Sergei Dolya.
In addition to them, the top ten included Ksenia Sobchak, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, Sergei Udaltsov, editor-in-chief of Echo of Moscow Alexei Venediktov, Oleg Shein, Mikhail Prokhorov, Governor of the Krasnodar Territory Alexei Tkachev.
Ballerina Anastasia Volochkova closes the rating. And the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev occupies the twentieth line in the rating.
By the way, Alexei Navalny received first place in the rating last time, but then Dmitry Medvedev was second, and Mikhail Prokhorov was third. Ksenia Sobchak has risen noticeably in the ranking for six months by more than twenty positions.
By the way, this rating does not take into account the statistics of retweets on the Twitter network. The most cited Twitter resource in Russia at the moment is the Twitter site Lenta.ru. RIA Novosti is in second place, and Novaya Gazeta's twitter is in third place. Twitter of the Russian version of Esquire magazine closes the top twenty.
