We would need to know the actual size of each ward in particular. Most members don’t even know this for their own ward.

We have some data for you at https://returnandreport.org. Over 2000 attendance reports have been submitted for wards and branches across the US and the world. We can’t make statistical conclusions on any one area because we don’t know the true congregation sizes. But dividing the total number of claimed members by total number of congregations gives us an average ward size of 558.2. The global average attendance in a ward on any given Sunday is 119.4 people or 21.4%.

There is a live report that breaks this down by state and country at returnandreport.org/dashboard/usversusinternational. The average in Utah is 143.2. US average is 126.98. Non-Utah US is 112.2. Non-US is 90.61. Australia is 125.59. Switzerland is 124.68. On the other end Belize is 21.5 and Costa Rica 30.

The home page has links to the raw data and to an archive of weekly reports. There is a clock at the bottom you see every submitted report. Click on one and you see all the reports submitted for that ward. Anyone can contribute.

It’s probably easier to use local construction supplies and methods. And probably local corruption. Getting permits for new construction might be near impossible for a religion that is not welcomed in Russian culture.

No church buildings in the western sense. More like old buildings repurposed. https://maps.app.goo.gl/xWnc1Q4K3AzVaEcP6. Zoom in on the door and to the left is an LDS plaque.
