>they could have been saying that anyway
Yet the USSR didn't. The official line was that the USSR chose using lunokhods (Moon robotic rovers) over sending people.
>without bothering with proof
You mean like Biden's lies about Russian bounties on American soldiers in Afghanistan or Bush's about WMD in Iraq?

- protomolecule 2y agoI don't know, sure internet plays its part, but our television since the fall of the Soviet Union has been busy spreading all kinds of pseudo-scientific and conspiracy theories. Reptiloids, Nibiru, psychics, the moon hoax too. It's not like they are mad or something, just some commercial channels and tv show studios are pushing this kind of content that is surprisingly popular. If anything, what sets apart the older generation from the younger ones is their habit of trusting TV, Soviet censure didn't allow things like that on tv and in printing. Personally I've met only one guy who believed that Americans haven't landed on the moon. He was young and had higher education.
