Understanding .RU domain name Contacts

A .RU domain name has only 1 Contact - Registrant. The Registrant Contact represents the owner of the domain name.

The Whois lookup of a .RU domain name displays the owner as admin-contact.

General Contacts used for other domain name extensions (TLDs) can not be used for a .RU domain name. A .RU domain name has a separate Contacts database.
