For me .su is a kind of historical curiousity. Not sure if I like it or not, or if it should be phased out, but there are a bunch of Soviet Union related sites in there too and sometimes these are pretty amusing (how about a site of the CPSU?)

Also there's sudo.su :)

That's AMAZING!
Yes, that's it.

Коммунистическая партия Советского Союза

Communist Party of the Soviet Union

There's also aboynamed.su, that is a reference to the Jhonny Cash song [1]

The domain description is actually some part of the lyrics of the song [2]

Just an embellishment: that Johnny Cash song's words were written by children's author and poet Shel Silverstein.
Some folks have personal websites on the .su domain (mostly Russians?).
