Who are "they"? It's still the same website on the same wikipedia domain, owned and hosted by the same global Wikimedia Foundation, with the same editors, roles and permissions.
P.S. Kinda funny how the narrative of "THEY are rewriting history" is now present in both opposing blocks. These are truly the end times of objectivity and pluralism.
- Yizahi 3y agoPeople writing and moderating Ru Wikipedia. Go check yourself, with a Google translate for example. Their pettiness know no bounds, see articles on the Kievan Rus (they even tried to rename it a few times), downing of MH17 Boeing, Russian invasion and occupation of Georgia, Russian invasion and occupation of Ukraine since Feb 2014, basically anything touching history and politics. It is quite clear that Ru Wikipedia is a state sanctioned and controlled operation.
- toyg 3y agoThere was never any objectivity. As a European, I often find mainstream US media scandalously biased on certain topics. Even just seeing everything as "two opposing blocks" is a terrible simplification of reality that is typical of Anglosphere traditions. And pluralism is arguably as alive as ever - anyone can start a blog and be as successful as anyone else in pushing opinions, without the capital that used to be required to broadcast one's view of the world. If anything, the current problem is that the spectrum of political debate has widened so much that we struggle to contain it in the old institutions.
