[citation needed] In late May 2023, Stanislav Kozlovsky, then executive director of Wikimedia RU, stated that "anyone can take Wikipedia content and use it, it's perfectly normal.

[15] In April 2024, Ruwiki launched new editions in Buryat, Veps, Ingush, Kalmyk, Komi, Permian Komi, Livvian-Karelian and Khakas languages with a total number of articles in the new sections exceeding 29 thousand, the website interface was improved and portals with materials for preparation for the Unified State Exam and Basic State Exam were launched.

[22] Ruwiki was created by copying all 1.9 million articles from the Russian Wikipedia, as well as several media components from Wikimedia Commons,[23] and data items from Wikidata.

[1][4] Removals of content considered "anti-Russian propaganda" include coverage of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the Wagner rebellion, and criticism of Vladimir Putin.

[24][25] Analysis from the independent Russian media outlet Mediazona shows that the majority of Ruwiki edits take place during weekday work hours.

Mediazona deduces that teams of paid writers are responsible for Ruwiki’s editorial activity, which contrasts with Wikipedia’s volunteer model.

Edits made by several administrators in the article about Naila Asker-Zadeh, as well as some other facts indicate a possible connection between Ruwiki and VTB Bank.

Vladimir Medeyko notes that investors expect to make a profit, but they are very interested in what is realized in Ruwiki - free content, access to knowledge for everyone.

[41][42] It is noted that the essence of the Ruwiki concept is manifested in articles devoted to modern politics (primarily Russia's foreign policy).

[43] Ruwiki cleaned up an article about the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by the British writer George Orwell, the plot of which many observers compared to what is happening in Putin's Russia.

When Ruwiki was created, articles on topics that were banned by the Russian authorities, such as the massacre in Bucha and the Ukrainian chant "Putin khuylo!

The drafts of two articles with the titles "Torture, castration and murder of a prisoner of war in the Privolye sanatorium" and Putin's Palace were deleted by the administrators, one of whom had previously edited the article about the journalist Naila Asker-Zade, removing the word "propaganda" from the text and the mention of Asker-Zade's illegitimate partner, the head of VTB Andrei Kostin.

Many events accompanying the military actions are not mentioned, in particular the failures of Russian plans (the offensive on Kyiv, the expansion of the border with NATO).
