The Russian object could have been a fragment of almost anything,

That is the key point, since without it being a very recent fragment,
it would be wildly unlikely that both the fragment and the parent
would arrive here at the same time. As unlikely as any other pair of
objects (which also shows the error of assigning odds to
coincidences).
