A Kremlin-compliant version of Wikipedia, Ruwiki, has launched in Russia. Its founder, a former longtime editor at Russian Wikipedia, says it will follow strict Russian media laws. Russia has launched its own version of Wikipedia that is markedly more friendly towards President Vladimir Putin and his government. Insider compared Ruwiki with Russian Wikipedia using Google Translate as of July 13 to get a sense of their key differences. Russian Wikipedia has a dedicated article on the episode, during which Wagner forces marched on Moscow and came within 125 miles of the Russian capital before turning back.
