It's interesting to go to any historical topic on Wikipedia that is related to Ukraine or Russia right now. There are thousands of edits since February on every single one of them. It doesn't matter if it's related to the situation at hand. Quite a few of them are rewriting history. It's so hard to find old information about this conflict even when you set the time frame from anywhere to 2020 a lot of recent stuff shows up on google and things I remember are drowned in a sea of noise. But besides the drowning even the same big reputable publications have revised their own coverage as of this year as if the past never existed. Here's an example:
