Lots of websites running with this inaccurate 'disocvered in the Moscow archives' story.
1) The MS is located in the Berlin State Library
2) It's scanned online where anyone can find it
3) It was simply mislabeled as Rashi, when it in fact alternates between Rashi and Rashbam

This may sound plausible, but is sadly factually false. This could easily be rectified by reading my recent definitive article on the subject!

When hamantaschen made their halachic debut (in 1858), why was their blessing given as 'Hamotzi', like bread? In yet another "truly groundbreaking" study, I (humbly) reexamine and completely overhaul the accepted history of hamantaschen and 'oznei haman'

Last year a photo of this snippet was making the rounds on WhatsApp. It suggests, "al pi halatzah", that women and Amalek share the characteristics of starting fights and scapegoating others, and that's why Yisro brought Moshe's wife after he'd proven adept at fending off Amalek.
