[Aaus-list] Alert re: Wikipedia on Kyivan Rus and other Ukrainian topics on Wikipedia

[olena wawryshyn]

There has been a recent alert in a Facebook group that I belong to that there have been a huge number of changes in the past week to the Wikipedia entries on Ukrainian topics. I checked Kyivan Rus in Wikipedia.  The title is “Kievan Rus,”  and, indeed, the edit history shows that there have been very many changes.  Obviously, given the current situation, there are forces that want to present their particular viewpoint rather than the historical truth….

I thought that I would let your group so that someone who is an expert on Ukrainian history, who has time, could check the entry on Kyivan Rus and other related entries and make necessary corrections.
