Ruwiki (Russian: Рувики, romanized: Ruviki) is a Russian online encyclopedia.[1] It was launched in June 24, 2023 as a fork of the Russian Wikipedia,[1][2] and has been described by media as "Putin-friendly" and "Kremlin-compliant".[3][4] A full-scale launch took place on 15 January 2024.[5]
The project is led by Vladimir Medeyko, who was formerly involved with the Russian Wikipedia project and a director of Wikimedia Russia.[1][6] Medeyko reportedly created the project as an alternative to the Russian Wikipedia, which would be more friendly to the Russian government.[4]
The words "рувики" and its English version, "ruwiki", have long been used to refer to Russian Wikipedia among Wikipedians.[7]
