I wish the Russians luck in trying to send thousands of circulars about it in different languages to the thousands of volunteer Wiki editors. It leaves me with two reflections on this news, either the news is fake or the Russians are more idiotic than expected.

If Russian "circulars" had any power, they only need to send it to a few dozen administrators of wikipedia, not to the editors. Wikipedia does have a working heirarchy where some editors are more equal than others.
