However, if it IS accurate, it's very interesting indeed...

Not really much to preserve - a couple of bucket fulls of bits and pieces. Is the reported "dark yellow" DAK yellow, or faded brown?

That part may be numbered 250001, but it's not from Tiger 250001. That Tiger never left Germany, and we have film of it being destroyed.

Russia is notorious for counterfeits, so maybe they're faking Tigers?

OK, possible. But even if they counterfeit and build a new one, it is always a Tiger, and if it is accurate, for me it is good
