I wonder if this is related to the recent blocking of reddit.

To me the basic step in such a case like this is translating the article about the agency in more languages, so that people can get more background information. The article:

Creating awareness starts with having a good article about the organisation in question.

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 ru.wikipedia.org will be blocked, or all WMF projects. In the latter case, 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.
