There is 237 human sysops on Commons speaking more than 70 languages. I
find that rather unexpected...
And having a sysop is just a bonus, having a Commons user would be already
very useful and helpful.

We have several (four or five I believe) Russian-speaking Commons admins.


There is 24 sysops with various level of russian (and probably various
level of activity), 11 seems to be native according to
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators
Maybe you can reach them for help...
