Russia Clones Wikipedia, Censors It, Bans Original

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.

    As awful as state controlled media is I look forward to reading the absurdities. The absolute distain communists have for jeans is absolutely hilarious, durable clothing made for sailors and miners is a sign of western opulence.

      Why wait? You can go read conservapedia right now. Just as absurd, but possibly less Russian.

      What does communism have to do with the Russian government? Russia abandoned communism 34 years ago.

        The communists used state controlled media… Just like the Russians. Governments can only get away with saying crazy shit, like blue jeans are the devil, when there is no one to keep them in check.
