Reportedly this is over 2 million pages of documentation. As with everything coming out of Russia, the provenance is unclear.

At the very least, it willl give western intelligence agencies something else to look at via satellite.

who was using an unsecure service to display his vast knowledge to his bros online.

That's one theory. European intelligence seems to have snagged it, looked at it, and they've given it to publishers. European intelligence has [probably been hanging onto this for a while, poring over the details and know by now whether or not it's genuine.

In any case, publication now will embarrass Putin if the files are genuine and make him think he's put one over on the evil west if they are not. Chances are also very good that the facility was either not built or scaled down to a tenth the size indicated by the drawings so that contractors could buy villas in Italy, Switzerland, or the French Riviera. That's how things work in Russia.

True Russian patriots are trying to overthrow Putin and end the Ukrainian massacre.
I can hope.
