You've obviously not spent enough time on Leica or Russian sites - the
comedy was very black indeed. The Russians not only fake leicas these days,
quite openly, but even fake collectable versions of their own Feds, etc.
They fake commemorative versions (the Gagarin Fed?) that never actually
existed. Very classy.
