As you could possibly notice Wikipedia's home page (en.wikipedia.org) was not fully disabled and there's full English content blinking prior to the black banner covers it. As it turned out there's a JavaScript added to the page which blocks the landing page:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:BannerLoader&banner=blackout&campaign=English+Wikipedia+Blackout&userlang=en&db=enwiki&sitename=Wikipedia&country=BY
- the ending can be a bit different depending on your country, language settings.
To turn off the banner you may use Ad blocker and add a special rule. I use AdBlock Plus with FF, the exception looks the following way:
URL to block: *meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:BannerLoader&banner=blackout&campaign=English+Wikipedia+Blackout*
