The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., owner of Wikipedia, was fined 2 million rubles ($27,000) by a Russian court on Tuesday for refusing to remove information about three Russian military units from Wikipedia.The magistrate of the judicial district of the Tagansky district of the city of Moscow, called the articles published on Wikipedia “disinformation”.We are talking about articles about the 74th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade, the 138th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade, the 92nd Rocket Brigade and the release of information about the actions of the Russian army during the war in Kharkiv, Lisichansk and Mariupol.Recall that in Wikipedia, a public multilingual universal Internet encyclopedia, anyone can write or edit an article.Since launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine last year, Russian authorities have imposed fines and blocked websites that disseminate information that contradicts the official Kremlin story.This is the fourth Wikimedia fine in Russia under Part 2 of Art. 13.41 of the RF Code of Administrative Violations.Last year, the organization was fined for failing to remove two articles related to Russia’s war on Ukraine, including one on “an assessment of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 “.Wikimedia said it may appeal today’s verdict, but no decision has yet been made.
