*weary sigh + facepalm + smdh + eye roll*
Can Wikipedia just... you know... not pay the fine? Given that they've done nothing wrong? Like, can they just pull out any operations they may have in Russia (and if they still have operations in Russia at all at this point, that's already not great, regardless), tell Russia to fuck all the way off, and continue business as usual? Because it would be really great if they could do that. I see no valid reason why they can't do that.
Oh, and it looks like Russia fined Google and, probably, many others for the same thing, i.e. telling the truth (or, at least, allowing the truth to be told) rather than kowtowing to Putin and spreading his blatant lies.
Seriously, Russia can eat shit. They've been free to shove as much shit as they can into their mouths for over a year now. Hell, for almost a decade now, at least.
Or, rather, Putin and his government can eat shit, at least, I should say. I don't want to paint an entire country full of people for the shitty actions of their shitty leaders, any more than I'd want to be painted with the same brush that would've covered Donald Trump and his administration in the diarrhea yellow it so very richly deserved.
