EcuRed (abbreviation for " E nciclopedia cu bana en la Red " - "Cuban Encyclopedia on the Net") is a Cuban Wiki - Online Encyclopedia , based on the MediaWiki software. EcuRed wants to be a “ revolutionary ”, “ socialist ”, “ Bolivarian ” alternative to Wikipedia . The texts are available under the license Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike released.

The project in Spanish , which started on December 14, 2010 with 19,621 contributions, consists of articles, biographies and academic papers. The online encyclopedia of Cuban, to be organized Communist youth associated computer and electronics youth club with the nation's approximately 600 branches.
EcuRed aims to propagate the worldview of the Cuban regime. The content often relates to the Cuban revolution and is written from an anti-capitalist perspective. For example, the article on the United States of America states that the United States "violently stole the territories and natural resources of other nations" in order to "use them to serve their businesses and monopolies ." The US government regards Cuba as "a beautiful fruit that will eventually fall into their hands". About the German reunification one learns, for example, that the Federal Republic of Germany annexed the GDR . Cuban history is also viewed from this perspective only. For example, the democratically elected Presidents Alfredo Zayas , Ramón Grau San Martín and Carlos Prío are described as neo-colonialists who promote corruption , bribery and gangsterism . The first president of Cuba after the revolution, Manuel Urrutia , is described as "tactless", "opportunistic", "conservative" and "confused". Other heroes of the revolution, such as General Arnaldo Ochoa , who later fell out of favor and was shot dead , are not mentioned in detail. The EcuRed category "Terrorism against Cuba" contains articles about the internationally awarded Cuban human rights organization Damas de Blanco and other opposition figures.
In order to be able to change pages or create new articles, registration with the editorial team is required. Qualities such as “responsibility, traceability, originality, reliability” are required of the potential author. 447 articles were marked as "in need of improvement" ( páginas a mejorar ) at the time of launch .
The Internet was only accessible under severe restrictions in Cuba (status: 2000). However, access to the intra-Cuban intranet and thus also to EcuRed is much easier.
