2022: Presentation of "Rapedia"
On August 31, 2022, it became known about the development of Rapedia, an Internet encyclopedia that is designed to replace foreign Wikipedia and provide Russian users with permanent access to more than 2.1 million articles in Russian.
Foreign Wikipedia was at the center of a scandal when thematic articles moderated and removed Russian sources of information and articles by Russian-speaking community authors. Thus, the principle of neutrality of sources was completely lost - instead of representing different points of view in equal volumes, the editors left the word for Western sources.
In November 2019, at a meeting of the Council on the Russian Language, Russian President Vladimir Putinov proposed to abandon Wikipedia in favor of the Great Russian Encyclopedia. The president questioned the accuracy of the information contained in Wikipedia. In early December 2019, the Russian government ordered the creation of a non-profit organization that will create a Russian online encyclopedia.
The creators of Rapedia intend to return and comply with the principle of a neutral point of view on the pages of the Russian portal. As of the end of August 2022, the project is in the filling stage and forms a staff of editors. The creators promise that in the future a section with a library will appear on the site, but some rare books can already be found in the Telegram channel. project
