## Dataset Description

### Dataset Summary

This is a dataset of questions and answers scraped from [otvet.mail.ru](https://otvet.mail.ru/). There are about 130 million questions with all their corresponding metadata that were posted before 03/05/2022 (the date the dataset was collected). This is a reupload of my dataset on [Kaggle](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/atleast6characterss/otvetmailru-full)

### Languages

The dataset is mostly in Russian, but there may be other languages present.

## Dataset Structure

~~Please refer to the Dataset Viewer for more information on the dataset structure.~~  
For now the Dataset Viewer doesn't work because of inconsistent data type across samples. I'll try to fix it later, but for now, the dataset could be used by downloading ZSTD compressed chunks, each consisting of 2_500_000 samples.

## Dataset Creation

The data was scraped using AJAX endpoints that return full question and answers metadata by id that is auto-incremented.
