It’s not just Wikipedia: which online encyclopedias should you pay attention to?

Wikipedia may be partially or completely blocked. It was learned the other day that Roskomnadzor included the owner of the encyclopedia in the list of foreigners.

Wikipedia has to close its representative office – if this does not happen, the well-known site will be blocked.

This isn’t the first time Wikipedia has threatened to block it. There was a similar case in 2015 when they wanted to penalize an Internet encyclopedia for an article on drugs. The material has been finalized, thus avoiding the blockage.

Now the situation is different – and it completely depends on the representatives of Wikipedia in Russia. If the blocking continues, you will have to look for an alternative to your favorite online encyclopedia. And we have options for you.
