According to the press officer of the Presidential Library, great wolf lodge Valentin Sidorin, the institution's staff will not write from scratch material. They simply wish to organize, scan and put on open access material that already have available and which is related to all aspects of Russia's historical development. "So, we started creating an alternative to Wikipedia. The analysis of the latter showed that it does not allow to obtain detailed and faithful to the regions of Russia and the country's life," summarized Sidorin. The new electronic encyclopedia will be organized on the principle of electronic library, that is, not everyone can make adjustments, just as not everyone can make changes to the contents of the books.

Although great wolf lodge the future informative reference resource on Russia have a radically different operating principle of the Wikipedia, the Russian media openly refers to it as the "alternative Wikipedia". This is mainly due to the statements of the director of the National Library, Anton Likhomanov, one of the authors of the idea.
