Russia said to be planning to launch alternative to Wikipedia

Boris Yeltsin’s presidential library has announced that it intends to develop an alternative to Wikipedia, the widely-used online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, because, in their view, Wikipedia “does not have enough detailed and reliable information about Russian regions and the life of the country.”

According to the library, their Wikipedia alternative “will allow to objectively and accurately present the country and its population, the diversity of the state, the national system of Russia. Posted materials will be constantly updated and renewed, being available to users from any Internet access point.”

The encyclopedia apparently doesn’t have a name yet. How about Министерство правды? (That’s Russian for Ministry of Truth).
