.su is an internet domain name extension that was created for the Soviet Union in 1990, shortly before the country dissolved in 1991. Despite the Soviet Union's collapse, the .su domain still exists today and is managed by a Russian organization, making it a rare example of a country-code domain that outlived the nation it represented.
