The Russian section needs to do its part in removing spam. You can't expect global moderators who can't even speak Russian to handle all of this. Some moderator will probably have to be chosen, even if he isn't perfect.
I think xandry would be good enough to moderate. I can't judge on his trustworthiness but I might able to judge on his judgements on others' posts by looking
his reports.
+1. I think so, me too. Also, I don't think actual mod need to be removed since he may be helpful to the new one even if log in only a few times per month. 2 mods are better than 1 mod. IMHO, at least.
