I'll take American values over applying random norms to encyclopedia contents.
Russian language speakers are not limited to Russia, there's tens of millions speakers in other countries. Wikipedia can't cave to demands from specific country. That is a road that will quickly lead to removal and censorship of any information not in line with what state TV in that country say, "or else".

- guard-of-terra 11y agoMoral arguments aside, what makes you think this will work? Tomorrow, some town judge in Zazhopinsk, Udmurtia (population 5000) will open this single page in some sort of anonymizer and will issue blocking orders on, in some order: Wikipedia, anonymizer, Internet Explorer. And yes, she will specifically search for such thing because she is promoted by the bulk of cases.
