russia demands that Wikipedia remove the truth about war crimes in Ukraine
Wikipedia is a free, multilingual, online encyclopedia that can be edited by anyone. Before being published, each article in the encyclopedia is reviewed by independent community experts, which is managed by the non-profit organization Wikimedia Foundation.
Wikipedia reported on Roskomnadzor’s complaints about the content of five materials because of the russian law “on fakes”:
1. “The Battle of Kyiv (2022)”;
2. “War crimes during the russian invasion of Ukraine”;
3. “The shelling of a hospital in Mariupol”;
4. “Destruction of the Mariupol Theater (2022);
5. “Massacre in Bucha”.
“They demand to delete the information, but they do not say what kind of information,” the community noted.
As a reminder, Roskomnadzor has repeatedly threatened to block the site in russia for allegedly misrepresenting the “special operation” in Ukraine.
Russians don’t need to know the truth, Roskomnadzor believes.
