RUSSIA : Police Search VKontakte Offices...And Founder Durov's Home.


       St.Petersburg police searched the offices of Russia's most popular social network... VKontakte/In Contact...and also the home of its reclusive young founder...Pavel Durov.
       They are investigating the early April injury of a policeman by a driver...that they believe was Durov.
       A spokesman for Durov claims he doesn't own a car.
       It is yet another crackdown on websites that allow opposition debate.
       With 200 million users...VKontakte...begun in 2006...is more popular than Facebook in Russia.
