I don't think such a WikiProject exists...

Btw, I do think we may be assuming to much, hmmm, cabal behind Russavia. 
Really, he is no more active than I am, for example. Until proven 
otherwise, we should always consider it highly possible (Ockham razor) 
that he is just a very active pro-Putin editor (the letter could be 
explained by pure luck or having a friend in the right place).

And seriously, if any country wanted to manage Wikipedia properly, they 
would be doing a much better job than Russavia and the few others 
amateurish USSR Forever cabalists and friends.

For a cost of 4-5 officials/agents, you can hire that many full hour 
smart editors, who would have time aplenty to create/adjust content, up 
to and including possible FAs, get adminship and weight in and likely 
dominate most subject areas. Seriously, consider what I was able to do, 
and that's in my spare time (although I am highly addicted to the 
Wiki... :D). And if you get restricted/banned, you have funds aplenty to 
get a different ISP / computer / whatever. Heck, they could be rotating 
agents and everything. You don't even need to dabble to much in 
controversial articles, there is a ton of uncontroversial Russia article 
that could be promoted to DYKs/FAs and thus improve Russia image that 
way. The fact that this is not happening, and the fact that we are more 
or less holding our own against them, tells me that either they are 
highly uncompetent/not serious or most likely, we are dealing with 
amateurish pro-Putin editor(s).
