The Instant View Editor uses a three-column layout, so you really want to use it on a desktop screen that's wide enough. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Issue #1

We shouldn't use a slideshow when it completely consists of photos and its short description.

It does say so in IV rules.
But it is the way original article was formatted, should this rule really apply here?

EXCEPTION! Slideshows must not be used:

Unrelated images end up collected in the slideshow (e.g. an illustration and a disclaimer).
When the article consists entirely of a slideshow (and its caption/description) and there's no other content.
When the article uses images/videos/GIFs with captions as the main medium (e.g.: travel blogs that show many photos with captions, step-by-step crafting guides, cooking recipes, etc.).

Hi!
I agree with the decision, but would like to clarify some things.
The issue here is "When the article consists entirely of a slideshow (and its caption/description) and there's no other content.", correct?

1) Slideshow description should always be a single paragraph or i can decide based on body length?
Talking about something like this:

Like can i leave slideshow as is if article body is more then 600 symbols.

2) May i move description to top? To not have it after all 20 images like other IV authors do.

You can decide based on body length. You can also consider that page is in the photo category ("Фотогалереи") that means the gallery is a main content.

It's acceptable to move text to the top in this case.
Type of issue
IV page is missing essential content
