He does raise some good points in his findings:

I know Sputnik isn't a good source, but according to him, they were the only ones who would publish the findings without edits.

Thats a pretty strong indication that his claims are BS. Sputnik is a literal propaganda arm.

It's certainly grounds for more scrutiny, but not outright dismissal before even looking at it.

Sputnik has twisted my actual research from grad school into garbage propaganda. I've seen first hand how "accurate" their reporting is. I'm likely to believe that something adjacent to their claims is true but I believe that slapping their name on something makes it less likely to be true.

I usually find expert consensus to be pretty good grounds.

They only let him do that because it fits with their agenda. The real test is if they would let him publish an article on Putin's corruption...without edits..
