It would be useful if someone could translate some of this for those of us who do not read russian.
as far as I can figure out from machine translations the policy has recently been translated from English and they are now trying to get community approval. Most of the opposition appears to be from those who think it is over ridged and that cites should only need to be provided in cases where something has been challanged.
This is the practice on enwiki in any case. Cites are recommended but not mandatory unless there is a dispute. Here we have an example of where the complex real policy mismatching the clearly stated written policy is causing problems.
