Never trust Russians. Born liars and cheats. They claimed to have achieved temperatures in a lab on the order of 3 billion degrees. LIE!

Particle physics labs routinely achieve temperatures of billions of
kelvins (in some cases, trillions). Depending on the details of their
claim, there's nothing about 3 billion kelvins that strains belief at
all.
