I've no idea about Russia, but this WOULD NOT WORK in the Anglo-Saxon legal system.

Legally, the signed contract is simply the physical manifestation of something deeper: the consensus ad idem or both sides agreeing to the same thing. Tricking a busy clerk into signing an altered document does not constitute acceptance of the contract.

The court generally chooses not to reward such dishonesty, and therefore allows the honest party to choose which version of the contract should hold.
