Since the start of the war, ruZZian billionaires and other prominent ruZZians have edited information about themselves on Wikipedia to improve their reputations, including the removal of references to sanctions and property, ruZZian citizenship, and ties to the Kremlin.

This is reported by Important Stories, which, together with the Wikiganda project, studied the edits of almost a hundred biographical articles in the russian and English Wikipedias dedicated to ruZZian billionaires, top managers and artists.

Journalists drew attention to the fact that from the russian-language and English-language biography of the former owner of the Pipe Metallurgical Company, Dmitry Pumpyansky, someone tried to remove all information about the imposed sanctions of the EU and the United States, as well as about the seized 72-meter superyacht of the oligarch.

From the article about billionaire and State Duma deputy Andrei Skoch, references to the arrest warrant for his personal plane worth over $90 million, as well as to the possible ties of the parliamentarian to the Solntsevskaya organized crime group, were removed.

The anonymous editors also tried to remove information about the sanctions against Putin's daughters, Maria Vorontsova and Katerina Tikhonova, and from Katerina's biography also information from the investigations of Important Stories and Der Spiegel about a joint child with ballet dancer Igor Zelensky and about the accompaniment of Tikhonova on her trips by officers of the Presidential Security Service.

An article about ruZZian oligarch Alexander Mamut, the former owner of Rambler Group, was edited to make it appear that he has not been associated with ruZZia for a long time and is an entrepreneur from London with Israeli citizenship.
