At time of writing, 404 in Russia and 9174 globally. See alexa.com/siteinfo/xn--b1aew.xn--p1ai#trafficstats<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Falexa.com%2...> All good so far but there is something even better😀 This ministry has an ASCII which is mvd.ru<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmvd.ru&data...>. This ASCII redirects to the the Russian IDN😀 As you all know, it is usually the IDN that redirects to an ASCII. Anyone encountered an IDN with a better Alexa ranking or encountered any ASCII DN that redirects to an IDN?
