Wikileaks has stated explicitly they are not focused on Russia, mostly due to a poorer understanding of the language and culture: > Most of WikiLeaks’ biggest revelations concern the US military-industrial complex….Why aren’t human rights abuses producing the same effects in regimes like China or Russia, and what can be done to democratise information in those countries? > In Russia, there are many vibrant publications, online blogs, and Kremlin critics such as [Alexey] Navalny are part of that spectrum…..In Russia there are competitors to WikiLeaks, and no WikiLeaks staff speak Russian….WikiLeaks is a predominantly English-speaking organisation with a website predominantly in English. We have published more than 800,000 documents about or referencing Russia and president Putin, so we do have quite a bit of coverage, but the majority of our publications come from Western sources….The real determinant is how distant that culture is from English. source: https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2016/12/no-julian-assange-didnt-say-wikileaks-ignores-russia-because-its-already-open-and/ https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2016/12/no-julian-ass...
