2021/2022 is a diffucult time for Wikimedia Movement in Russia due to Covid-19 and other events. However, we are still have a lot of activities, including new ones. For example, we created a new Wikipedia course for novices. We have a record number of articles writing and photo uploading contests. We visited a lot of Russian Universities and engaged students to work in Wikimedia projects. And a lot of other activities that we wish to share.
