It appears that Russian Wikipedia is about to reject Verifiability as a policy:

Verifiability is usually considered one of the 3 core content policies on English Wikipedia.
This leads to a question; must the different Wikipedias have the same core policies? Could Russian Wikipedia do away with NPOV and NOR as well? Could some other language Wikipedia do away with WP:CIVIL, etc.?
Well, it seems more that they are having some discussions over the precisely implementation, not over the policy in the broadest sense.
As far as I can tell, the vote has been closed and the policy has failed.
