The usage of sources in this article

Hello, I am the original author of this page. On the 12th of August, 2024, I edited the page to include a lot more information which I sourced from the Great Soviet Encyclopedia. I wrote the first paragraph of the "Proceedings of the Congress" section to be as similar to the source as possible as I believe that is wikipedia's policy. My question is, should I have paraphrased the article further so that the source and the article aren't so nearly identical and is there any risk that I accidentally violated wikipedia's plagarism policy (the source was a publically available government issued encylopedia if that matters) by making the article and the source so similar?
