Lurkmore or Lurkomorye (Russian: Луркоморье, a portmanteau of Lukomorye and the English online slang "lurk moar") was an informal Russian-language MediaWiki-powered online encyclopedia, based on the English-wiki website lurkmore.com, focusing on Internet subcultures, folklore, and memes.[3] As of December 17, 2019, Lurkmore contained over 9000 articles.[4] It was one of the most popular humor and internet meme-related websites of the Russian internet.[5]
As of February 24, 2022 (the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine), the website's content is no longer available, with only a black screen covering all its pages. Recently, the phrase "остановить войну", which translates to "stop war" in Russian, written in blue and yellow (the colours of Ukraine's national flag), was added to the top of the black screen.[6]
