I don't see how you can have NPOV without Verifiability - surely by 
presenting a dispute or provide critical analysis or whatever by showing 
what other people have said about it you are inherently requiring that 
these statements be verifiable, no? Unless of course the Russian 
Wikipedia's concept of what NPOV means is different to the English 
Wikipedia's, which from "And furthermore, to create the ideal article, 
we need to study the actual thing, not stories about it in 
'authoritative sources'"  they quite possibly do.
