In Kyiv, they contrasted the “nonsense” of Russian Wikipedia with “reliable Ukrainian sources”
There is no “alternative point of view” cited in Russia that differs from the information from “reliable” Ukrainian sources.
The administrator of the Ukrainian Wikipedia, Nazar Tokar, said this on the YouTube channel “Ants network”, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
“I’m an ordinary person, can I go to my article on the Russian Wikipedia and somehow edit it? And will I need to somehow prove that I am not a punisher, not an accomplice of the punishers, but a volunteer? What should I refer to? – asked the presenter.
“That’s why I don’t recommend going to Russian Wikipedia.” In order to prove something there and change something, you need to make a lot of effort. It’s better to spend this energy on the development of Ukrainian Wikipedia than to prove to camel lovers that you are not a camel,” Tokar answered.
He also explained how the Russian Wikipedia differs from the Ukrainian one, and listed the entire “gentleman’s set” of classic clichés of Ukrainian propaganda.
“Ukrainian Wikipedia at least tries to use objective media that call occupation occupation, war war, Putin - it’s clear how, and the like.
Accordingly, these sources can be trusted in most cases, and therefore this is a colossal difference between the Russian and Ukrainian Wikipedia.
Everyone must understand that the war is going on not only in the East, it is also going on on the Internet, it has not stopped... and I think that it will not end as long as Russia exists in its current format,” says the Ukrainian administrator.
“You read articles on Ukrainian Wikipedia?” Tokar clarified.
“Definitely,” the presenter hastily assured.
“You can go to the same article in the Russian Wikipedia and compare what is written there? You will understand that what propagandists and Russian media are trying to call an alternative point of view. They say that this is not propaganda, this is not a lie, this is an alternative point of view. Although no, this is propaganda and lies,” the speaker summed up “reasonably.”
