Today, the Russian Federal Service for Supervision in
the Sphere of Telecom,
Information Technologies and Mass Communications instructed all Russian
internet providers to block all user access to Wikipedia. All involved
parties are aware of the development. I am not sure whether only

if you are going to travel to Russia, you will need to gen an IP exempt flag
in advance in the projects you are going to edit.
Cheers
Yaroslav
