A Russian foundation has launched a hotline in the Russian Internet domain (Runet) to fight the promotion of drug use, Friendly Runet director Yevgeny Bespalov said on Tuesday.

The hotline will be supported by the Interior Ministry cyber-crimes department and the Russian domain registration authority Ru-Center.

Internet users will be able to use the hotline to complain about the content that they believe promotes drug use.

Friendly Runet previously launched a child porno hotline, with 22,000 complaints filed last year, leading to 24 criminal cases (nine in 2009).

Russia has an estimated 2.5 million drug users, including occasional users and drug addicts.
