Ruviki is intended to be a more “trustworthy” source of information for Russians by editing out anything that makes the Russian government look bad.

What the hell?

    Really? Good to hear it’s just an ineffective censorship attempt then.

    There even is such a meme as “encyclong”, that’s what the Wikipedia article for vikings turned into after one such cloning with replacing wiki- (no difference between V and W in Russian) with encyclo- .

    Damn that’s funny.

      I don’t think there was an attempt, “bans original” is a hallucination by the author.
