And there are people who say that Ukrainian war or downfall of the ussr was result of the US/NATO expansionism.

Nope - people just wanted to escape this madness, rest was just a matter of opportunity not the cause.

I might be wrong but I think the orignal wikipedia is not banned. They can't really ban it, it's like banning youtube -- the outcry would be too loud

Oh sweet summer child

I still could visit the page of russian invasion of Ukraine when I was in Russia. And the page is great compared to mainstream russian news. They couldn't call russian government crazy, they use the term "irrational neofeudalism" instead

Switching my VPN to Moscow, English language Wikipedia seem the same. I'm not up on Russian Wikipedia.

Censoring Wikipedia? Who would do something like that?

So you see the big orange "this article has multiple issues" message and your mind goes straight to "this is censorship?"

History (at least on Wikipedia) needs to be properly cited.

Russia still a clown show.

With nukes

And some might even work.

On their adversaries perhaps too.

Like most of the world, sadly :/

The rest of the world doesn't even compare to Russia.

Well, that is your point of view.

I'd say the world on which high school teaches that men can get pregnant really compete with Russia.
