I am sure this Putin version of Wikipedia will be as reliable as the Great Soviet Encyclopedia. Meet the new boss same as the old boss.

So will you get shot if you post about Putin’s KGB history and the fact that he is an authoritarian thug?

Wikipedia isn’t slanted enough for the Russians?

Krocopedia? After “Krocodile” - satire and cartoons.

Izvestiapedia? After Izvestia, where there is no news.

Pravdapedia? After Pravda, where there is no truth.

Censorship has always been common in Russia, even long before the Soviet Union. It appears to be embedded in the culture.

It might be good for math. Russia has a lot of mathematicians who are highly qualified. Not all of them are fluent English speakers.

Let Google Translate deal with it!

I think once you start planning a wikipedia you’ve kind of lost what the whole thing is about.

This might be as fun as reading the Great Soviet Encyclopedia during the Cold War—where one could learn that the incandescent light bulb was invented by Lodinov, the airplane was invented by Mozhaiskii, etc.
