Annnnnd that's why I downloaded a snapshot of Wikipedia a few months ago and host it locally.

Sad that it's necessary, but with modern AI tooling, we have everything we need to destroy knowledge on an industrial scale.

As soon as you leave English language wikipedia this happens fairly often. Not necessarily Russian, maybe adjacent. And not since yesterday! I noticed around Corona, and it's been a problem for way longer. It's relatively easy for 1 editor to slip through unnoticed if there isn't enough eyeballs on the article, and hey they can write what their overlords tell them unchallenged.

"that some believe may be part of a Russian influence operation"

Jeebus a bunch of drivel propaganda.. The whole site is the same kind of nonsense fantasy. They just jump along on the dumdum official propaganda narrative about the baad baad Russia.. Incredible that people still haven't figured out that they were conned - played - by US/western elites.

Oh well, fortunately Russia will survive Nato's proxy war against them, and they'll survive primitive propaganda as this 'article'.
