To the best of my knowledge, in the Wilkes Land there is only one Russian base, the famous Vostok Station.

Wilkes Land is a vast antarctic district and, under the Antarctic Treaty, it is limited at the north by the South Indian ocean, and at the south by...

...the geographic South Pole!

So, the Vostok Station, at latitude 78ºS, is still considered to be situated in the Wilkes Land because of Vostok station's longitude (aprox. 106ºE).

Australia had formally claimed Wilkes Land as part of the Australian Antarctic territory.
