Four days ago (October 4, 2012), it became possible
to read on REGNUM’s website (with a link
to the human rights activist Dmitry Krayukhin’s
blog ) about a curious trial that took place in the Soviet district court of Orel.
The prosecutor's office demanded that the
Orlets site, built according to the wiki technology (on the MediaWiki engine) and allowed for free editing by anyone, be considered extremist. The court was presented the results of the operational-search measures of the FSB, which were found on the site six
wiki articles of extremist content.
The defense submitted to the court evidence that texts of an extremist nature were posted on the wiki literally
two to three minutes after the FSB officer began inspecting the site, and hung in the public domain for about
five to seven minutes, after which they were discovered and removed by the wiki administration. According to Krajukhina, such an extraordinary coincidence of events in time indicates a causal relationship between them: an FSB officer was either involved in placing extremist materials on the wiki, or was informed in advance about their placement time.

The court found the materials found to be extremist, but the claims of the prosecutor for the recognition
of the Orlets site as extremist were denied.
This conclusion suggests itself: it’s long time for many and many Russian wiki owners to ponder over the text “
9½ rules for maintaining secure IT business in Russia ” and follow at least the first two rules. Because it is necessary to foresee the future. The events that occurred in Orel, judging by the details given in the original source, took place for political reasons; But what will start when similar injections will be organized for reasons of economic competition or for career reasons?
(In particular, the aforementioned
Orlets website was called “local Lurk”
on Dirty.Ru in July, since it is really very lurk-like in its vocabulary. One can only wonder how this site has not yet used the example of
lurkmore .to and urbanculture . in .)
To some extent, this event serves as a vivid illustration of the
comment I left to the words of the psychiatrist Alexander G. Danilin, who said: “It seems
that a generation under 30 years old has only one thought - to leave this country to hell. Is this what we call mental
health? ... ” Let's think about it: if there is a pretty good reason to suspect
that the FSB is throwing
extremist materials on the Internet - is this not a madhouse?
However, humanity, philanthropy is clearly visible. Provocation is not liquidation.
