It seems to me that nobody in this thread have read description of
URL_DOMAIN_SUFFIXES and URL_DOMAIN_PREFIXES. This is a quote from docs:
The prefixes will not be used if
the first element ends in a dot (or has a dot before the :port or
/path), and similarly the suffixes will not be used if the first
element begins with a dot (e.g., .nyu.edu will become
http://www.nyu.edu without testing www.nyu.com).
So, to go to http://www.ru, it's enough to 'g' to '.ru'
