Guy drilled a hole in the wrong spot while making the Russian part of the ISS and covered it up. Patch freezes and expands in space.

Measure at least twice in space, drill once.

Yeppers. Not malicious, but a simple error. (Or a drunken error - same result is a misplaced hole.)
Then, he tried to cover it up so as to “not make a fuss, not cost (even more) money and delays.

Thanks grundle. Probably a Kaepernick fan, or opponent of Brett Kavanaugh, or some other Demwit crap like wanting to repeal (sic) the 2nd Amendment.

It certainly looks like a hole that was drilled.

Regardless of how the hole formed it looks like an easy fix. Run a tap through the hole. Spread some sealant on the threads of a bolt. And then install the bolt. You will get a durable and permanent seal.

In space, no one can hear you freeze.

“There were several attempts at drilling,” he said in televised comments, by a “wavering hand.” Space psychosis?

This is why they always carry a can of Flex Seal on the Space Station.

Your fix sounds 100Xs better than theirs. Who the heck came up with tape and gauze?

The hole as pictured, next to several stamp marks in the metal, possibly indicate it was a documented defect that was repaired.
The stampings may be similar to a method we used at a major US aerospace company to document a repair. We would ink stamp an area near a repair with the QA documentation method that allowed the repair.
A repair, by definition in MIL-STD-1520/ISO 9000:2000, may make a component functional but not in compliance to original engineering documentation.
In this case, the repair may have been a patch or plug that failed revealing the original defect.
