Wikipedia owner was fined 2 million rubles due to refusal to delete articles about military units and war in Ukraine

The justice of the court section No. 422 of the Tagansky district of Moscow was fined the Wikimedia Foundation Foundation for 2 million rubles due to Wikipedia’s refusal to delete materials about the war in Ukraine. This was reported by the press service of the courts in its Telegram channel.

TASS reports that Wikipedia refused to delete articles about three military units: the 74th Guards Motor Rika Brigade (there is also a section on the participation of the brigade in the Chechen War and the War in Ukraine), the 138th separate motorized rifle brigade (participation in the war in 2022 is also mentioned), the 92nd missile brigade and articles about the war in Ukraine.

The organization was found guilty of an administrative offense under Part 2 of Art. 13.41 Administrative Code of Russia.

In April, Roskomnadzor demanded that the Russian -speaking Wikipedia delete two sections from an article about Russian President Vladimir Putin - “Relations with Ukraine (2012 - present)” and “After the invasion of Ukraine (2022)”. In the second, among other things, there is a subsection “Historical analogies with Hitler”, where Putin’s actions during the war with Ukraine are compared with the actions of the German dictator during the Second World War.
