Baikal was an April Fool's Day 2000 joke by the administrator of the website buran.ru, Vadim Luckashevich. The article was of a high quality, but contained a discreet clue that it was a joke, as the background of the page featured a low-contrast image upon which was written "С первым апреля!" (Russian: Literally "With the first of April!", i.e. "all fools' day congratulation").

Possibly named for Lake Baikal.
