The news was reported to various Russian media on Monday by Stanislav Kozlovskiy, the head of the Russian nonprofit organization Wikipedia.ru, which provides support to the Russian segment of the free encyclopedia. According to Kozlovskiy, an unnamed official from the city police department called their office and said that the police received a complaint, saying that some texts from the list of extremist materials were posted on the Wikipedia website.
He added that the police were currently gathering information about Wikipedia, but said that Russian law enforcement had no means to make Wikipedia change its content as the encyclopedia’s servers are outside Russia.
Kozlovskiy said that the caller did not specify what texts were mentioned in the complaint, but the activists from the organization checked the website and found the text of Benito Mussolini’s 1932 essay "The Doctrine of Fascism." He also said that the text will be deleted from Wikipedia’s website if it turns out that it is protected by copyright.
“If this text is protected by copyright we will delete it,” he added.
The police made no official comment on the matter as of Monday evening.
