Official documents workflow use GOST signatures for authenticity and
consistency verification, so there is no harm to have FSB backdoor in
the algo, unless some hacker will find it. Just don't use GOST for
something else to stay on safe side.

BTW, latest GOST based on elliptic curves, so from math point of view
probability of having backdoor here is minimal.

You can consider GOST goals are the same as FIPS ones with the reason to
have things "domestically produced".
