Even if it’s perfectly safe, people will only focus on it being from Russia and assume it’s not.

Science transcends international borders and politics, usually.

If this is successful, they would share it with the world—like we Americans would.

Following an "accidental" slip up where immunisation injections were mixed up with COVID-19 several thousand Gulag inmates were more than happy to volunteer for the trials.

The 1st trial is typically to see if anyone dies from the vaccine.

If people don't drop dead then it can go to trial 2.

If it’s a first trial, it has already been done a few times.

It’s a big deal if the sample is large. I believe vaccine human trials go through 3 phases.

Knowing Russian attitude towards the truth, I would prefer repeating the trials elsewhere before allowing the vaccine anywhere near me.
Russia has great scientists who do really great jobs but this country is also notorious for governments telling plain lies. Unless you have international cooperation, you can never tell which one is the case.
