In order to find this site on the Web, you can

or go to this link right now:

The main value of the project is the electronic textbook "ABC of the Internet", you can download it for free on the official website of the ABC of the Internet ru. The textbook is made in pdf, that is, the file with the textbook has the name azbukainterneta.pdf (the name may differ from the one given, depending on which link was clicked on).

The tutorial can be downloaded for free in two different ways:

directly on the official website of "Azbuka Internet" or
via a link from Yandex.Disk.

Let's take a look at these two options below. Choose one option for yourself and go through it to the end. If something doesn't work, you can try another option.

Before downloading the ABC of the Internet, I advise you to read (or at least view) the article to the end to understand whether you need this textbook in its entirety, or if you need its individual chapters or if you don’t need it.

What do you need to study the entire textbook completely?

Here is a quote from the ABCs of the Internet textbook on this issue:

Equipment and programs necessary for the reader to work with the tutorial:

Desktop stationary computer or laptop equipped with a webcam, microphone, speaker system

OS Win XP/Vista/7 is the operating system.

Microsoft Office 2010 and above or OpenOffice - programs for working on a computer.

Yandex.Browser is a program for working on the Internet.

Dr.Web (demo version) - protection against viruses.

Adobe Flash Player is a video player.

If you don't need Skype, then you won't need a webcam or microphone.

For inexperienced users, I recommend downloading at least one chapter as an exercise in computer literacy, or rather, in order to be able to download, find on your computer and open a pdf file (and this requires practice). Therefore, I give below a detailed explanation of how to do this.

We go to the site in the manner described above, and see what is useful there:

Another Tutorial - Understandable Web

Earlier, in January 2013, I wrote about the Clear Internet project , created by the Ministry social policy Nizhny Novgorod region supported by Google. It still exists happily. And you can download it for free e-book"Clear Internet", also in pdf format, which I wrote about in

In 2014, Rostelecom and the Pension Fund of Russia (PFR) signed an agreement on cooperation in teaching pensioners how to use a computer. The purpose of the agreement is to improve the quality of life through teaching computer literacy and working on the Internet, as well as assisting the older generation in obtaining public services in electronic form.

As part of the implementation of the agreement, in 2014 Rostelecom and the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation prepared a special educational manual for the elderly, ABCs of the Internet. The manual was developed by educators, psychologists-gerontologists and IT specialists. The course program is constantly evolving, and the textbook is supplemented with new modules and relevant information.

The manual can be used as a self-instruction manual when working on a computer and on the Internet, as well as a textbook for specialized computer literacy courses for pensioners, which are held throughout Russia. The electronic version of the textbook "ABC of the Internet" is available on the educational portal www.azbukainterneta.ru. Also published here visual aids, presentations for each topic of the textbook, useful links, guidelines on the peculiarities of teaching older people, the necessary technical equipment classes.

The first courses under the ABC of the Internet program were held in 2014 in Bryansk, Volgograd, Vologda, Stavropol and Tula. Special computer courses were organized for the classes. IN Nizhny Novgorod and Nizhny Novgorod region bodies social protection 128 computer classes were equipped and provided to the population for learning on the ABC.

In November 2015, the program was presented at the Russian Center for Science and Culture in Yerevan. As a result of the event, materials adapted for Russian-speaking pensioners living in the Republic of Armenia appeared on the Azbuka portal.

The Internet portal is visited by over 20,000 users every month, and more than 3,440 people are registered in the “For Teacher” section. In 2018, more than 85,000 pensioners received computer and Internet skills. In total, more than 250 thousand pensioners from 76 regions of Russia took part in the program.

The training is divided into two courses: basic - for beginners and advanced - for those who have already mastered the basics of working on a computer and on the Internet. In 2015, modules were published that talk about choosing a home computer and additional equipment to it, recommendations are given on the use of social networks and regional Internet services: sites of regional authorities, enterprises providing housing and communal services. In 2016, the Azbuka portal published materials on financial Internet literacy, job search on the Internet, and programs necessary for employment. In 2017, modules on working on tablets and in video communication programs were developed. Today, the site published the materials of seven modules of the extended training course.

A significant contribution to the development of the project was online seminars for teachers and course organizers on the ABC of the Internet. The first seminar was attended by students from 13 regions, the seminar, which was held in May 2019, was attended by more than 1,400 representatives of regional ministries of social policy, librarians and various social institutions, university professors from 51 regions.

The release of ABC Internet is a charitable project for the company: the preparation, publication and free distribution of the textbook allows to increase the number of pensioners who know how to use a computer and work on the Internet, to facilitate older people's access to electronic government services and social services.

In support of the “ABCs of the Internet” project, the annual “Thanks to the Internet!” contest was organized, the participants of which in their works talk about how the Internet is useful for the 50+ audience, how it has changed and improved their lives. IV All-Russian competition in 2018, there were 3,383 older Internet users from 74 regions of Russia, which is almost 23% more than in 2017.

The representative of the regional branch of the Union of Pensioners of Russia in the Altai Territory, Alexander Milyukov, thanked for the much needed social project: “Thanks to the authors of the ABC of the Internet manual - the Pension Fund of Russia and the Rostelecom company - for finally having a textbook that pensioners can use on their own, without anyone's prompting, because it was created specifically for the older generation. This is really necessary, because we should not lag behind life in order to be interesting for our grandchildren, who would say: “My grandfather or my grandmother are advanced, because they are “on you” with a computer!”.

The Pension Fund jointly with Rostelecom issued a textbook for pensioners.

“We want all older people to master the basic skills of working on a computer and on the Internet,” the developers of the federal project set themselves such a task.

The project is aimed at the implementation of one of the presidential decrees, according to which in four years 70% of all public services should be provided to Russians in electronic form.

One of the goals of creating the textbook was to make it easier for older people to find information and access public services, many of which they can order without leaving their homes. The Internet portal has a tab for the visually impaired.

Computer science teachers, psychologists, gerontologists and methodologists worked on the creation of the training manual. Thus, the resulting manual is maximally adapted to the perception of people of respectable age. The information is presented in an accessible form and without the use of heavy terminology, so that the elderly “student” does not have additional questions. The textbook will teach the pensioner the basic skills of working on a computer, help to master the Internet.
