#Russia has launched "Ruviki," a state-backed encyclopedia mirroring the original Russian Wikipedia. This new platform includes all previous Russian-language Wikipedia content but has been edited to omit information potentially unfavorable to the Russian government.
Interestingly, the Ruviki article about George Orwell’s 1984 entirely omits the Ministry of Truth.

@wildebees The Russian Government has its very own Ministry of Truth, which deals in lies, & follows the principle of Dr Joseph Goebbels: "A lie, repeated often enough, becomes the truth."
@wildebees we need to go after Russia's cables with a sawzall and just end their connection to the rest of the world. They're not trustworthy.
@wildebees Russian Wikipedia editors nicknamed it Bug-o-Pedia.
Yes, every notable Wikipedia clone (a.k.a. "encyclong", from encyclopedia+viking) has its own nickname.
