Still can’t get my damn my mind around the “fact” that this shit is disputed

Quick update: the discussion page is even worse, libs try to completely remove the Neo Nazi part of it and label this as “russian propaganda”, it already worked in the German version of the article and you can’t even change it back, to protect the page from “vandalism”

    Don’t be too harsh on them, they have a system that works and gives the opportunity to really punish patently false information.

    In principle, yes. In practice, not so much. Just read the article “Holodomor genocide question”, and you see an example of falsehood. The article is supposedly “neutral”, but they very clearly tend towards the idea that it is a genocide.

    For instance, when they mention the “genocide” camp, they do not contest their arguments. However, when they mention, for instance, Davies and Wheatcroft, which are against the genocide thesis, it has a paragraph from another author arguing why they are wrong. The genocide camp also mentions Payaslian, which is an author whose work was focused on producing encyclopedias, and they have never studied the Soviet famine.

    Usually political articles are biased towards imperialist and anti-communist propaganda
