        Make edit, but make typo: shit that cancels out but still gulag for finding loophole in system. The system is flawless; it’s you who is wrong. Oh yea, did we mention gulag?

    But Putin’s stooges already did this. Apparently one dictator-oriented misinformation spewing Conservapedia wasn’t enough. Gotta have two, I guess.

    As awful as state controlled media is I look forward to reading the absurdities. The absolute distain communists have for jeans is absolutely hilarious, durable clothing made for sailors and miners is a sign of western opulence.

      Why wait? You can go read conservapedia right now. Just as absurd, but possibly less Russian.

      What does communism have to do with the Russian government? Russia abandoned communism 34 years ago.

        The communists used state controlled media… Just like the Russians. Governments can only get away with saying crazy shit, like blue jeans are the devil, when there is no one to keep them in check.

    Why didn’t they just start with Metapedia? It would have been a shorter walk.

    Suspect this might be clickbait, they didn’t ban the original wiki. I’ve asked a friend of mine from Russia to verify this and they were able to access the ‘old’ wiki, both English and Russian version just fine.
