I think you're misreading the situation rather dramatically here.

Wikimedia Russia was an outreach organization; their role was primarily to run local conferences and fundraise. Its closure has no impact on the operations and policies of the Russian Wikipedia and other localized projects -- which are, in any event, focused on the language, not the country. (By way of analogy, notice that the Chinese Wikipedia is still operational, despite the site having been blocked in mainland China nearly since its inception.)
