as nothing more than a meaningless piece of paper, some government officials reportedly descended into a full-blown panic in private chats after the news broke—with some wondering if they’d become the next Heinrich Himmler and Joseph Goebbels., which spoke with sources close to the Kremlin and several sources in parliament about the reaction behind the scenes.
