The majority of active internet users in Russia reside in Moscow
alone.  I suggest we rename Russia to Moscow, to be more informative,
and list it under Europe. Speaking of which, in practical terms,
Moscow isn't even Russia (well, this is an inside joke :), so
technically, this mere suggestion is not even meant to be taken as a
joke.

Seriously, though, all the known DragonFly mirrors in Russia are
located specifically in Moscow for the reasons specified above, so
please do move them from Asia to Europe to avoid the confusion. :-)
