Russian language WikiWiki encyclopedia released under theFreeBSD Documentation License license and created in 2003. It uses theMediaWiki software. The name derives fromwiki and "znanie", which is Russian for "knowledge".In 2006, WikiZnanie added over 1000 articles. As of July 2008, WikiZnanie has over 111,000 articles (compared with over 297,000 on the
Russian Wikipedia ). The main part (about 95-98%) of its content comes fromBrockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary , which was published in Imperial Russia in 1890-1906.WikiZnanie differs from the
Wikipedia (andRussian Wikipedia ) project by licensing under the BSL DPL (instead ofGFDL ) and displaying of commercial ads on article pages. It also allowsoriginal research (which must, if possible, use the methodology of scientific research) and encourages "multiple points of view" rather than "neutral point of view" in articles. It has servers inMoscow for faster access to pages fromRussia n territory and uses ads to secure financial support.The author and webmaster of the project is Andrey Vovk ().
