Technically I know what is possible. I am interested in the fact that many resources say that there should be only one first-level heading on the page, but at the same time there is a tag. Inside this tag, can I use a first level heading if the page already has a first level heading? If visually, will it be true semantically?

<html lang='ru-RU'>
<head>
    <meta charset='UTF-8'/>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>статьи</h1>
    <article>
        <h1>Первая статья</h1>
        <p>Текст статьи</p>
    </article>
    <article>
        <h1>Вторая статья</h1>
        <p>Текст статьи</p>
    </article>
    <article>
        <h1>Третья статья</h1>
        <p>Текст статьи</p>
    </article>
    <article>
        <h1>Четвертая статья</h1>
        <p>Текст статьи</p>
    </article>
</body>
</html>

According to the rules - the heading should be one.
But more than once experiments with several headlines have proved the effectiveness (for example, Lenar Amirkhanov's report at BalticDigitalDays 2016 ). So try and experiment.

John Mueller on Using Multiple H1 Headings on a Page
Post Date: 2019-10-02
Google's New Snippet Requirements Remove Stars from Sites
From the Author: Using multiple h1 tags on a single page won't affect its ranking results and even increase its usability. This was told by a representative of Google.
Speaking with webmasters, John Mueller "allowed" the use of several h1 tags on the page. At the same time, he noted that any number of first-level headings can be placed in the content, and this will not affect the position of the site in the search results.
According to Muller, the use of multiple h1 headings in the markup improves the structure of a web page. They allow you to more clearly highlight the main sections of content.
Many HTML code validators treat multiple first-level headings on a page as an error. But Google does not regard this as a serious omission. However, John advised not to overuse a lot of these tags.
