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.

      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.
