Doesn't seem to be banned by my ISP.
Anyway, Russian Wikipedia clones to steal budget money are old news.
There even is such a meme as "encyclong", that's what the Wikipedia article for vikings turned into after one such cloning with replacing wiki- (no difference between V and W in Russian) with encyclo- .
Really? Good to hear it's just an ineffective censorship attempt then.
Damn that's funny.
I don't think there was an attempt, "bans original" is a hallucination by the author.
lmao the encyclongs raiding the villages again. genius. never heard of that before either. 🤣
