Wikipedia seems to have stopped displaying Cyrillic/Russian script on anything to do with Russia:
People, places, history, technology etc.
Anyone know why?

On the page on Russia, it's showing Cyrillic characters.

For example

'Anthem: 
Государственный гимн Российской Федерации
("State Anthem of the Russian Federation")'
It is your PC, not Wiki. Cyrillic script is still showing on Wiki for me
Which browser (e.g. Chrome, Edge, Firefox) are you using? Which version of the Operating System? (E.g Windows 10, Windows 11.)

Thanks but I don't think it's my PC as there are one or two words in cyrillic I can see on very few Wiki pages, just not on most.
eg. I would look up famous Russians and their names would ALWAYS be there in cyrillic as well as the latin alphabet.
Put a link to the Wiki page that is not showing Cyrillic characters

Hi Barry and thanks for your help, here is one example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitri_Shostakovich
The last time I looked his name was also there, at the top in cyrillic.
In case you're thinking I'm being a bit pedantic, I am learning Russian.
You are right, that page is not displaying Cyrillic. However, if I click the 'edit' tab and click the last link on the page that opens dated 25th April 21 it is displayed.
Somewhere between those two dates the Cyrillic has been edited out but I don't know why. I suspect it is nothing to do with Wiki - anyone can edit an article



You can see that this page displays Cyrillic script
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia
It depends on the page.
The Shostakovich page just happens not to have any
