This is excellent! It's a very useful and reliable source for
biographies of current public figures in the Russian-speaking world.
Good to hear that it was freed, and good to hear that Wikisource
became its new home.

Good day, colleagues,
I want to say about our small news: Lenta.ru, one of the most popular
Russian language online resources with over 600 thousand visitors
daily, have developed Lentapedia, an archive about popular news. It
was very popular source for Russian Wikipedia articles, but some time
ago the main Lenta's editor decided to stop updating the project
because of lack of traffic and publish the project under cc-by-sa 3.0.
Some days ago Lenta.ru changed it's design, and there isn't any place
for Lentapedia in it, so we copied all materials from Lentapedia to
Wikisourse; 1993 articles.
As I said before, it's enough small news, but I hope it will be
interesting there.
Our post about it is there:

regards,
