List Of Wikipedia Pages Banned In Russia

Some of the banned articles have resulted in fines levied against the Wiki Foundation. As of July 2023^[update], there have been a total of 7 fines totaling 8.4 million rubles. The Wiki Foundation has appealed these fines in court, and has lost. Due to the enabling of HTTPS encryption on all Wiki sites, individual Wikipedia articles cannot be blocked by governments without blocking the entire Wikipedia site for that language (for example, see the block of Wikipedia in Turkey).

The Federal List of Extremist Materials is compiled by the Russian Ministry of Justice on the basis of court decisions. It includes various materials recognized by the court as extremist. The list is available on the website of the Ministry of Justice.

This table shows the Wikipedia pages included in Roskomnadzor's Unified Register of Information Disseminated in Violation of Articles 15.3 and 15.3-1 of Federal Law 149-FZ. Unless otherwise noted, the links in the Article column are to the Russian Wikipedia page, with the equivalent English Wikipedia page linked where available. The links in the URL column are in the form in which they appear in the registry.
