In Russia, they offer to close Wikipedia: the Kremlin explained why it was impossible
This was announced at a press conference for International Internet Day by the Chairman of the Council for Human Rights (RPL) Valery Fadeev, reported by RIA Novosti journalists. "My opinion on" Wikipedia " - it must be closed. (…) There are many distortions, to put it mildly when it comes to politics, about history, but simple things are convenient, there is no alternative . . .
You need to create an alternative and close as soon as possible" as soon as possible " Wikipedia "is my position," Fadeev explained. The official emphasized that he did not call to close the online encyclopedia in the coming days, but considers it correct to work in this direction. Wikipedia called the RPL chairman an ideological and politicized product. The Moscow leadership has already responded to Fadeev's statement.
Russian Presidential President Dmitry Peskov explained that to close the online encyclopedia, you need to create your own analogue with proven information. According to the official, it takes time. The idea of creating a Russian encyclopedia with "objective information" was supported in the Kremlin.
"In different formats, at different forums and at different levels, the opinion was repeated Many distortions, lies, mistakes of historical and factual, so of course, it is necessary to create an analogue, " - said Peskov. However, the Presidential Presidential President emphasized that it is too early to talk about the closure of Wikipedia, because there is no alternative. We will remind, today in the State Duma of Russia proposed to cancel the moratorium on the death penalty.
