I mean, this might work today, but as soon as people start making edits on both versions it will be a nightmare to update the copy. They’re going to have to merge different edits on the same article. I don’t want to be anywhere near that merge conflict.
Russian Wikipedians well be quick to demand reliable sources for any text copied over. And they’ll probably have bots to check if anything is copied over without attribution. In the end it’ll probably be a trickle of usable information, like all the other wikis.
The new site just won’t keep up and degrade quickly, even by their own standards.
Why do you think that Russia would care to include the edits from the original Wikipedia ?
