I afraid that WM Russia and WM Canada will be equivalents of WM Moscow and WM South Ontario (the last one will have more contacts with Wikimedians from Illinois than with Wikimedians from Vancouver) -- if they don't start to work immediately on federalization of their chapters.
That's not correct actually. Of 10 founders of the Chapter, at least two are from Siberia, one from the North, and two or more from St-Petersburg. I think the diversity is fairly well represented. The last national wiki-conference was held in St-Petersburg, not in Moscow.
