Wizards and Witches with human reaction time and reflexes have dodged, blocked, and countered spells up close with no problem. Russell should be easily fast enough to dodge anything Voldy throws at him, and speedblitz him.
Apparition neutralizes Russell's superspeed advantage. Voldy has too many advantages in this fight while all Russell has is his strength and speed. TK, AK, Imperio, Crucio etc. seal Edgington's fate.
This borders on spite against crazy King of Mississippi.
It really doest. Sonic speed and reactions > Peak reactions and teleporting.
Wouldn't hold too much on those advantages. TK is rarely if ever used, AK wouldn't work on the dead. Imp and Cru maybe, but it comes down to that huge speed edge. Russ could run up and attempt to glamour him if brutal murder isn't his first option.

^Sonic speed-level Eric Northman has been tagged by a human-speed level werewolf before. Hell, sonic speed-level Eric Northman has been tagged with a silver keychain(or was it bracelet) by a human in one of his very first appearances on the show as well before. And we're talking about the guy that has actually shown sonic speed and perception time as opposed to the guy on whom you're superficially imposing that level of reaction time simply by the grace of TB vamps' age-based powerscaling. The same show which showed us how useless vamp speed is against people that can casually teleport(Niall vs Nora).
The point is that Voldy has shown the tk ability before, and can do so again, while Russell has no defenses against it. How do you know it wouldn't work? Vampires aren't dead, they're undead, and can still suffer the true death. Even if it doesn't work, we've seen what it did to the quasi-immortal Voldemort when it backfired the first time. Vampires can also feel pain, so Crucio is effective. Vampires have shown a particular susceptibility to magic-based mind control as well(Necromancy) so Imperio will also be equally effective.
Glamour him? (please log in to view the image)
Voldemort is one of the most powerful legilimenses aka telepaths in the HP universe, and a wizard on top of that to boot. We've seen how useless glamouring is against both telepaths and high-level witches in the show, so Russell trying to glamour him will be about as *edit:effective* someone trying to crush solid titanium with cotton candy.
Voldemort on the other hand can mind-control him via Imperio, or take possession of his body.
This really is Voldy's fight to lose.

Think it was actually a necklace? Anyhow yeah, he's been tagged by slower and reacted to faster. Also routinely blitzing humans. And first thats the top Fae who has shown reactions to follow Nora, and second that Nora's speed is nothing to Russell's. When did Tom become supersonic?
Because Tom still had his soul, unsure about Crucio but I wouldn't link normal mind control to necromancy.
Have we seen Glamouring on Witches? And its not because the Fae are telepaths that it doesn't work on them, its because they're Fae, You need resistance or a very strong will to resist Glamour.

The point still stands though: if they can get tagged and caught offguard by slower human beings, then it should be fairly easy for Voldy to do so as well. It's also never been confirmed that speed also increases with age, only strength and control over the bloodlust. Young vampires have routinely managed to blitz/outpace older ones, so it's not written in black and white. Tom doesn't need to be supersonic, considering he isn't facing a supersonic level threat anyways.
How is Niall being the top pure Fae of the show relevant here? The comparison is simple enough: Niall can teleport which neutralizes vamp superspeed blitzing in a battle. Voldemort can teleport, which gives him the same advantage against a superfast opponent like Russell.
How do you know vampires don't have souls either? Lilith's dialogue with Bill, coupled with the fact that they can meet the true death, tells me they aren't immune either. Even if it doesn't, Voldemort can still create snake-shaped firestorms that can fry Russell in combat. Crucio will most likely work as well, since vampires have a sense of touch and can experience physical pain. Imperio will also work, considering that it's worked on non-humans and non-wizards before and because vampires have no defenses against magical mind control.
Bill admitted that he couldn't do so to Antonia. No, it's never been stated that they're immune simply because they're fae. Their telepathic nature clearly has something to do with it, as Sookie has been able to undo Eric's glamouring of Alcide with her tp. Voldemort also has a very strong will, as shown by how he was able to brave the torment of being trapped in the form of a dismembered ghost and eventually returned to a fully functional body via his efforts.
