Quote from: Wikipedia
.su was assigned as the country code top-level domain for the Soviet Union on 19 September 1990. Even though the Soviet Union itself was dissolved a mere 14 months later, the .su top-level domain remains in use today.

And yet the contact page info lists this as their contact:

Adam Wilder
1 Christophers Whorf Lane
Biddeford, ME 04005 U.S.A.

Mind you, anyone can get a domain name with just about any suffix these days...

Where I'm staying on CI is in Australia but it has a domain in Korea (.kr) which is a b@st@rd when looking at sites which identify your domain location to provide prices in "your" local currency.... the Korean Won, I have discovered, is about 1000 to the AUD. (Heart attack stuff if you forget for a moment & read it as dollars.)

Last time I spoke with Adam in 2011, he was living in Russia. Not sure if he's moved permanently back to the USA or not, but that's why the domain is what it is.
