The Russian theory here is that, apparently by damaging the Soyuz vehicle, Auñón-Chancellor would impel Russian and NASA authorities to allow her to fly back to Earth immediately.

Then the article asserts that a video camera that could have shown NASA astronauts entering the Russian segment of the space station—where the Soyuz vehicle was docked—may have been tampered with. The article also says NASA astronauts refused a polygraph test about the incident and that Russian cosmonauts were not allowed to assess US tools on the station that may have been used to drill into the ship's hull.

No one is perfect, of course. Astronauts are people, and all people have flaws. But the idea that a NASA astronaut snapped on orbit and decided to drill her way through a pressure module, with only vacuum on the other side, is preposterous.

Also, there is a very reasonable explanation for the hole. The TASS article dismisses the possibility that the problem happened on Earth, before launch. But this is almost certainly what happened. Most likely a technician accidentally damaged the Soyuz spacecraft and sought to cover up this error by applying a makeshift patch, perhaps some form of super glue. Such a patch would have held up during a vacuum chamber test on Earth but eventually failed during prolonged exposure on orbit. And going through repeated thermal cycles in and out of Earth's shadow wouldn't have done the patch any favors. Russia's engineers must know this.
