Lurkmore.ru or Lurkomorye (Russian: Луркоморье, a portmanteau of Lukomorye and the English online slang "lurk more") is a Russian-language MediaWiki-powered online encyclopedia focused on Internet subcultures, folklore, and memes.[3] Nevertheless, formally, the range of topics covered is not limited. As of July 31, 2010, Lurkomorye contains 4844 articles.[4] It presents its material in an ironic, humorous-but-factual tone, and is one of the most popular humor websites of the Russian Internet.

One notable feature of the project is that the IP addresses of anonymous editors in page history are invisible to everyone except for the administrators; normal users will see anonymous edits' authors simply marked as Анонимус ("Anonymous").[8] Registered users also have the option of marking any of their edits as anonymous. Editing for anonymous and new registered users is complicated by the need to solve a CAPTCHA on every edit. Usually a reCAPTCHA consisting of two English words is used. However, on April 1, 2009, it was replaced by a mathematical CAPTCHA which asked the users to solve a simple calculus problem.[9][10]

There are separate categories for articles on native Russian and foreign memes.
