Encyclopedia plus propaganda: Russia has created an alternative to Wikipedia

Editors of the new online encyclopedia say they are priority to the official position of the Russian Federation on war in Ukraine and compliance with traditional values. In Russia, a new online encyclopedia was created-"Rununsalis". The authors of the project stated that they used to be editors and "Wikipedia" administrators, but decided to break with the project because it stopped meeting the criteria of the neutral and public encyclopedia.

At the same time, they do not hide that they rely on the materials and work of Wikipedia, because they "consider the meaningful part of" Ruwiki "as the property of the entire runner, not the property of a private US fund. " According to the authors of the project, its servers are located in Russia. They emphasize that they intend to comply with the requirements of Russian, not US laws.

"That is, in addition to the fact that the" Rununsal "enforces the laws of Russia, not the United States (which, in particular, means that there will be no fake nonsense about what is happening in Ukraine), the project has a priority of traditional values, - it is said in a statement.

-In practice, this means that for example, for example, homosexuality, editors will not prove from what is recorded in Western scientific magazines that have been pressured by LGBT lobby, but from traditional ideas about the relationship between male and women's sex. " The website interface is almost completely copied from Wikipedia, it has been loaded with more than 8,000 articles, while in the original encyclopedia of more than 1. 8 million.

The materials in it are presented only from the position of Russian propaganda. The Wikipedia representative for the first time heard an analogue of the encyclopedia from journalists. He said that the project was not discussed inside the community, and if one of the former Wikipedia editors and participates in it, it is most likely "one of the indefinitely blocked.

" Judging by the content of the site of the new encyclopedia, work on it began in early June, but this project became known only on August 23. On this day, the deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Technology and Communications Anton Gorilekin informed about the creation of an "ideologically correct" Russian encyclopedia. He wished the team a success. Wikipedia has recently created a new article about a new encyclopedia.
