One of the world's all-time-known conspiracy theories - that the Apollo xi Moon landing was staged - remains very popular in Russia, (you can't even imagine how much). Some Russians are fifty-fifty altruistic coin in the hopes of 'proving' this theory.
"I small pace for man, ane giant leap for mankind." Neil Armstrong's famous phrase, which he said on the Moon, marked the starting time of a new era, with humans for the first going beyond the boundaries of our planet and landing on another angelic body. That was in distant 1969.
Today, we dream of Mars-landing missions, and read about leaks from a hush-hush Martian conference held by Elon Musk. But you lot know what? Decades since 1969, many Russians are all the same unable to believe in that "small-scale stride" that Armstrong took on the Moon. True, the so-chosen 'lunar conspiracy' was invented in the U.Southward., but no other country in the world has so fully embraced this indestructible conspiracy theory as Russia. Many Russians believe that the U.S. government staged a complex hoax, and that the alleged Moon landing was in fact filmed in Hollywood. At the moment, this myth is NOT believed by - brace yourself - only 24 percent of Russians!
1990s imitation news
This was not always the instance. In the Soviet Union, in that landmark year of 1969, no one - neither officials, nor the media - doubted the achievement of the American astronauts.
"When we were receiving signals from the Moon, we were receiving them from the Moon, not from Hollywood," said Russian cosmonaut Georgy Grechko, a member in the Soviet lunar programme, which was canceled after the Apollo 8 mission for the first time orbited the Moon. At the fourth dimension, all Soviet reconnaissance systems were watching the commencement manned flight to the Moon. Soviet radio equipment was receiving signals from Apollo eleven, equally well as all its audio communications and the TV footage of the landing itself.
"Staging a hoax like that would accept perhaps been just every bit difficult as carrying out the real mission," another cosmonaut and space shuttle designer, Konstantin Feoktistov, ended in his book,The Trajectory of Life. Information technology would take been necessary first to ship a television station to the Moon, then transport Apollo 11 a responder. And create dozens of sham factories manufacturing spacecraft. And stage the return to Earth ... It is all as well complicated. Fifty-fifty for a space race betwixt the two superpowers.
By the late 1990s, however, the world-famous 'lunar conspiracy' reached Russia where information technology gained a lot of followers. Contemporaries aspect it to the fact that the new and frail Russia was in dire need of pseudo-patriotic concepts, such as the notion that the Americans had deceived everyone, including the Soviet Union, which was always the starting time in everything. This is some other reason why the 'lunar conspiracy' notwithstanding holds sway among many Russians.
'Great American lie'
The Russian embrace of this conspiracy theory dates to the publication of Yury Mukhin's volume,Anti-Apollo: Lunar Scam of the USA. The author claims that coin allocated for the lunar plan was allegedly stolen, while the lunar landing scenes were shot by Stanley Kubrick, the managing director behind the cult moving-picture show, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Moreover, according to Mukhin, Soviet communists and some Soviet scientists were part of the conspiracy, for the sake of sure profits, of grade.
But the 'the great American prevarication' would hardly accept gained so much currency in Russian federation had it not found support amid more reputable individuals and the media.

Journalist Alexander Gordon made two documentaries well-nigh the 'lunar conspiracy'. In 2007, the scientific periodicalTopical Issues of Modern Sciencepublished an article 'proving' that at the speed information technology was flying the U.S. rocket could not have reached the Moon. Or, hither is another: in 2018, Dmitry Rogozin, the head of the Russian space agency, Roscosmos, appear that Russia was preparing a Moon mission: amongst other things, with the following purpose. "We take ready the task of flying there to bank check whether they [the Americans] were there or not <...> They say they were, we will bank check."
All this is happening despite the fact that the Russian Academy of Sciences has officially condemned the 'lunar conspiracy' as pseudoscience, and Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed it as "nonsense."
Show goes on
Judging by opinion polls, 65 percent of people who believe that the 1969 Moon landing never happened have only a secondary school pedagogy. Interestingly, the desire to establish the 'truth' goes far beyond ordinary curiosity: some Russians are even prepared to donate their ain money for the crusade.
In 2015, a collection was started on the crowdfunding platform, Boomstarter, to build a micro-satellite with a photographic camera to verify the Apollo 11 landing site. Information technology was launched past a blogger fascinated by space. The target was 800,000 rubles ($12,000), just the actual sum raised was more than twice greater.
Who are these people? Some are those who still take office in countless discussions on online conspiracy theory forums; believe me, there are a lot of them. And those who write comments such as this ane: "If you lot think the Americans are charlatans, I agree... There is a lot of proof for this. For example, there is something wrong with the footprint [presumably, Armstrong's], or the flag is non flapping right, and and then on. For example, Rammstein's America video is proof of that, or the GTA Vice City game - there is a film set on an island somewhere and there, in a domed building, there is bogus lunar rock, and reportedly this is where they filmed the Moon landing."
