EcuRed is a Cuban online encyclopedia built on MediaWiki software. The site was launched on 13 December 2010. The name is an acronym from the Spanish phrase (literally "Cuban Encyclopedia on the Web"). ==Reception== EcuRed was described by The Guardian as a Cuban version of Wikipedia. Activist Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas, winner of the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, accused the encyclopedia of "molding reality" and said it was "a perversion to destroy the mind". The encyclopedia refers to the United States as "the empire of our time" and "the most powerful nation of all time", which has historically taken "by force territory and natural resources from other nations, to put at the service of its businesses and monopolies". The encyclopedia describes blogger Yoani Sánchez as a "cybermercenary linked to the United States government". ==See also== ==References== ==External links==
