Russia fines Wikipedia owner for failing to delete Azov battalion content – Ifax

A Russian court on Tuesday fined the Wikimedia Foundation, which owns Wikipedia, 3 million roubles ($36,854) for refusing to delete an article on Ukraine’s Azov battalion, the Interfax news agency reported.

Wikimedia did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

It has previously said information that Russian authorities complained about was well-sourced and in line with Wikipedia standards.

The Azov battalion, a unit of Ukraine’s military, has been designated a terrorist group by Russia.
