November 10, 2014. A citizen of Ukraine from Uman, Cherkass Region, proved the most active contributor to Tankopedia, an online project run by Uralvagonzavod Corporation, last October, the corporation’s press service reports.

This author added 99 entries to the online encyclopedia altogether (75 entries in September and 24 in October). They were all dedicated to the theory and design of armored vehicles and received an impressive number of hits.

The person in question is fifteen years old; he has been interested in armored vehicles for quite a few years now. He says this is something he must have inherited from his grandfather. To thank the entry-writer, Uralvagonzavod Corporation sent him some branded clothing items and souvenirs in company style (products from UVZShop) and a greeting card.

2,970 entries have been added to Tankopedia so far, including 914 entries on armored troops, 344 on theory and design of armored vehicles, and 331 on films. There are fourteen rubrics on the site all in all.

The website has been getting increasingly more hits: tankopedia.org was visited 29,031 times in September 2014 and as many as 68,811 times in October. The overall number of user hits since the day the site was launched has already exceeded a million. Last October, users mainly clicked on such rubrics as Armored Vehicles (1,849 hits), Full-Track Vehicles (776 hits), Films (717 hits), and Games (713 hits). This was actually the first time Films collected more hits that Battles, which might have to do with Dmitri Rogozin’s work (Tanks. The Ural Personality) and the airing of Russia Today’s Tanks: Made in Russia, a film portraying the everyday lives of Uralvagonzavod workers. The number of registered users is on the rise as well: there are 685 of them at the moment.
