By the 2015, when the Alley was opened, more than 100 children were killed in shelling and air strikes.
They’re willing to have an article that calls a famine a genocide directed at Ukrainians by the Soviet state, despite it being disproven multiple times and shown that it’s nothing more than nazi propaganda, but refuse to keep an article about a memorial dedicated to an actual atrocity on their site.
Why? Because it’s suddenly against the Western narrative of Ukraine being a peaceful state which never did anything wrong?
Wikipedia tends to maintain a pro-Western line on every hot topic, as explained by its donors and top editors. There are various other topics that are not allowed to have articles on English Wikipedia because they were never covered on mainstream western media and are therefore “of low relevance”.
Such a absurd excuse. They might aswell just shut down if that’s their standard. OIf course, that’d require them not to be propaganda tools.
Need to make this into a prolewiki article. I’ll start a stub.
yeah pretty much all english references to alley of angels were deleted right when the war started, the wiki page was like the only English source showing it existed, and that was only like 2 sentences. Ukronazis call it a “propaganda site”, so all references to it are outlawed because Russia brings Ukrainian POW’s there sometimes to interview them. Westerners aren’t even allowed to know if statues exist apparently
That’s disturbing really. Like, that’s war crime denial.
