In the early 1990s, when the “public” Internet was just beginning to develop, the functionality of the first webmasters was very diverse: it included the responsibilities of a web designer, author and site moderator, programmer, system administrator, content manager, employee technical support of the site. With the development of the Internet and the emergence of larger sites, their development technologies have improved, which has led to the specialization of webmasters into different professions.

The Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation Sergei Donskoy proposed to declare 2016 - Year of Specially Protected Natural Areas. Let us recall that in 1916, the first Russian reserve, the Barguzinsky Nature Reserve (Republic of Buryatia), was created on Lake Baikal.
2016 officially announced cross year of Greece and Russia. The order on this was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Greek-Russian year was originally supposed to take place in 2014, but at the request of the Greek side, due to the economic crisis and the Greek presidency of the EU in the first half of 2014, it was postponed to 2016.
The cross-year program includes joint events in the fields of education, language, science, cultural heritage, art, sports and youth exchanges.
2016 announced cross year of language and literature of Russia and Great Britain. It opens on February 25 in London with a screening of the film "Anna Karenina" starring Greta Garbo. Its main topic will be the work of William Shakespeare. Information about the program is here.
2016 in the CIS countries:
Russian President Vladimir Putin expects that at the CIS summit in Minsk the leaders of the Commonwealth countries will support the Russian initiative to declare 2016 is the Year of Education in the CIS.
