"This is a mystery," the French researcher said. "The only possible explanation we can think of is that the designers thought this would compensate for the too small key sizes of the primes involved. But 3 primes of 256 bits are really not the same as one prime of 768 bits."
Russia does have a lot of good mathematicians and scientists, as well as their intelligence agencies. I find it hard to believe they would use 256 bit keys using public key cryptography. Very confusing article but we can learn more later ...
