No, this is not an emergency. This is a serious issue requiring attention from the community, but there is no urgency in it. You really seem to project your experience from the big English-language Wikipedia to the tiny Russian-language Wikibooks, though they can't be compared at all. RfCs on meta are a good way to deal with issues on small projects with almost no community.
Guillaume, the evidence has been made overwhelmingly clear. The last time that any sort of attempt to comment on the situation was made, according to MaxSem, the guy indef-blocked the instigator. So you have a guy hiding WMF logos and stuff, revert warring over it, blocking over any sort of criticism, violating of the core policies that Wikimedia projects are founded on, and you don't see that as an emergency? Who can stop him? Oh that's right, nobody, because he can block anyone who opposes him, and has shown evidence already that he will do so. You don't see that as an emergency?
And don't even begin to presume to say that I'm projecting my experience from en.wp. I edit en.wikiversity as well. I know what smaller projects are like. And if this was happening on en.wikiversity, I'd be throwing a fit over it.
