First, if authentic, this document would really confirm that the Russian government was behind the leak of Hillary's emails - and also that Trump's campaign was actively involved. It also shows that the actual hacking was a fairly minor part of the operation; it was basically a standard intelligence operation.
There are a number of other interesting tidbits in this document:
The operation has been going on for at least 8 years, and Trump was actively involved.
It appears that from Putin's perspective, that whole operation was a disappointment (although a different section of the document claims that he was "generally satisfied"). While Trump was eventually elected, apparently Putin had expected a far more dramatic impact on the election.
The operation also was a disappointment because the backlash that is now erupting is hurting Russia and Putin personally.
Putin seems to be experiencing buyer's remorse. It seems that Trump turned out not to be the benefit Putin had hoped for, because Trump is too unpredictable.
Heads have started rolling in Moscow over the failure of the operation.
