Russia did land a man on the moon. In fact, America never landed a man on the moon (there's overwhelming proof, even a NASA astronaut came out and said the lunar photos were taken on a stage).
The Russians landed not one, but four men on the moon, somewhere between 1958-1962. These cosmonauts were promised a safe return, but when they landed on the "sea of Moscow", mission control informed them they couldn't bring them back. They stayed on that moon for 4 months. Their space craft was solar powered.
Espionage was alive and well between the USA and USSR during the cold war. An American spy probably found out that Russia landed men on the moon, but couldn't bring them back and realized if they couldn't, America didn't have a chance in hell; thus pulling off a billion dollar movie series called the "Apollo moon landings".
Russia nodded at America's fakery, knowing full well they didn't land a man on the moon. Why would Russia just give up? Clearly, Russia has already gone to the moon. Even if Russia knew America's moon landings were fake, this would give them even more incentive to go to the moon; HOWEVER, they already went and know they don't have the technology or perhaps even the money, to give cosmonauts a safe return home.
It's saddening the USSR didn't commemorate the death of their own cosmonauts. They died tragically in the vacuum of space (the moon has no atmosphere). Imagine being the last cosmonaut to die? Just tragic. They may have been mummified, or if they were within their space suits, decomposed.
The USSR wiped these brave, heroic men from history and may have also executed their families to conceal the truth.
This is to whom it may concern.
Of course there's lots of so-called "proof" the moon landings were hoaxed, but those "proofs" are complete ignorant fantasy like the rest of that post by Hudaemcmora.

Any chance that you can provide proof of any of that and by proof I mean actual verifiable evidence.

If anyone is interested in the real story the Soviet side of the moon race, just read "Challenge To Apollo: The Soviet Union and the Space Race - 1945-1974" by Assif Siddiqi.

That frequency exchange is my favorite part of the story and had been secret a very long time. Is it true? I don't know but it sounds good.
Apparently I had some doubts when I asked "Is it true? I don't know..." so I'm not too shocked by this, but the names in the article seemed to check out as being NASA employees, are these the men you talked to who said the story was false?

I never could find anybody at NASA HQ who remembered ever meeting these kids, the only proof I saw them offer was a photo of them next to the NASA sign on the sidewalk outside, and the names they gave never checked out. As far as I could determine, NASA didn't eavesdrop on Soviet satellites, either, there were other agencies for that.
James Morrison, NASA’s Space Programmes Technical Director arrived minutes later. “I’ll be darned!” he exclaimed. “How did you do this?!” Turning to Haussman, he said, “We should be more careful; if they intercepted it so can the Russians.”...
...NASA Director Harry J Goett told them: “You guys have done a remarkable job.”

Just wondering about the location and composition of the bodies of the dead cosmonauts from the tragic moon mission decades ago.
Are they still on the moon?
Would their bodies still be preserved or decayed?
Should we build a memorial on the moon for them?
Are they in deep outer space?
It is strange perhaps to think they are still floating out there and kind of sad.
