Russia Clones Wikipedia, Censors It, Bans Original
www.404media.co
Ruviki is intended to be a more “trustworthy” source of information for Russians by editing out anything that makes the Russian government look bad.

From real Wikipedia:

Articles containing content contrary to the Russian government’s official line have been removed. Removals of content considered “anti-Russian propaganda” include coverage of the Russo-Ukraine War, the Wagner rebellion, and criticism of Vladimir Putin.

    Suspect this might be clickbait, they didn’t ban the original wiki. I’ve asked a friend of mine from Russia to verify this and they were able to access the ‘old’ wiki, both English and Russian version just fine.
