load the same weight to several variables in the new graph

I want to load the same variable in the pretrained model to several variables in the new model

v1 = tf.get_variable("v1", shape=[3], initializer = tf.zeros_initializer)
inc_v1 = v1.assign(v1+1)
init_op = tf.global_variables_initializer()
saver = tf.train.Saver(v1)

with tf.Session() as sess:
  sess.run(init_op)
  sess.run(v1+1)
  save_path = saver.save(sess, "/tmp/model.ckpt")

and afterwords

# Create some variables.
v1 = tf.get_variable("v1", shape=[3])
v2 = tf.get_variable("v2", shape=[3])

# Add ops to save and restore all the variables.
saver = tf.train.Saver({"v1" : v1,"v1":v2})

with tf.Session() as sess:
  saver.restore(sess, "/tmp/model.ckpt")

I.e I want both variables would be initialized from the v1 variable from the previous model.
The following example crashes as it says the graphs are different.

Here's another method, iterating the variables from the previous graph:

def load_pretrained(sess):
    checkpoint_path = 'pretrainedmodel.ckpt'

    vars_to_load = [var for var in tf.get_collection(tf.GraphKeys.VARIABLES) if
                    ("some_scope" in var.op.name)]

    assign_ops = []
    reader = tf.contrib.framework.load_checkpoint(checkpoint_path)

    for var in vars_to_load:
        for name,shape in tf.contrib.framework.list_variables(checkpoint_path):
            if(var.op.name ~some regex comperison~ name):
                assign_ops.append(tf.assign(var,reader.get_tensor(name)))
                break


    sess.run(assign_ops)

Evaluate the assigned value of the variable from the original graph and then initialize new variables from new graph with this value: 

import tensorflow as tf

with tf.Graph().as_default():
    # the variable from the original graph
    v0 = tf.Variable(tf.random_normal([2, 2]))

with tf.Session(graph=v0.graph) as sess:
    sess.run(v0.initializer)
    init_val = v0.eval() # <-- evaluate the assigned value
    print('original graph:')
    print(init_val)
# original graph:
# [[-1.7466899   1.1560178 ]
#  [-0.46535382  1.7059366 ]]

# variables from new graph
with tf.Graph().as_default():
    v1 = tf.Variable(init_val) # <-- variable from new graph
    v2 = tf.Variable(init_val) # <-- variable from new graph

with tf.Session(graph=v1.graph) as sess:
    sess.run([v.initializer for v in [v1, v2]])
    print('new graph:')
    print(v1.eval())
    print(v2.eval())
# new graph:
# [[-1.7466899   1.1560178 ]
#  [-0.46535382  1.7059366 ]]
# [[-1.7466899   1.1560178 ]
#  [-0.46535382  1.7059366 ]]
