About ten years ago, when I worked in the Government, I sent an official request to Roscosmos to present to me the documentary evidence of the Americans on the moon available to this at that time as the federal agency. It really bothered me that the Soviet astronauts returning from multi-day expeditions barely kept their feet and underwent a long recovery after such flights, and the Americans crawled out of their lunar ships like cucumbers from the bed.
You know what I got in response?) The book "Concern by the astronauts of the Moon" with the comment of the cosmonaut Leonov that they really were there, because "they told him about it themselves."!
Having moved to work at the Roscosmos State Corporation in 2018, I continued to search for this evidence, but he didn’t find anything there either, except for the angry accusations of some of our lovers of going to America at the expense of academics, what am I, they say, undermine "sacred collaboration with NASA.", and also received one angry call from a high-ranking official with a charge, that I "exacerbate the international situation" with my doubts.
Yes, I did not undermine or aggravate anything, but only because of my nature I tried to get to the bottom of the details and establish, at least for myself, the true state of affairs in the matter of exploring the moon by our competitors. It was not clear to me how the United States at that level of technology development of the 60s of the last century did what they could not do now?
