Do citizens of Hong Kong living in Canada - still need a visa to enter Russia for <2 weeks?
score:4
According to Timatic, a Hong Kong citizen does not require a visa to visit Russian for up to 14 days, even if they are a resident of Canada. Note that you will require an onward ticket in order to be granted entry.
In general, residency does not affect visa requirements, however it's always a good idea to check.

I don't know specifically about Russia but in general it does not make a difference and I would be a little surprised if it did. Being a resident somewhere can exempt you from some requirements (e.g. transit in the UK if you have a US green card) but typically not add some. Similarly, having Canadian citizenship can help you qualify for some exemptions but not make a visa necessary if you already qualify in another way. Basically, you can show one of your passports to benefit from the most advantageous rules.
What could happen in some cases is that border guards notice you are a Canadian resident (because you come from Canada without a visa - if you are a citizen - or have a long-stay visa or stamps in your passport - if you are not) and question you about that (it's more likely to happen with a country they consider sensitive for some reason, which Canada usually is not).
