Russia Finally Admits US Landed on Moon (newsweek.com)

What a weird title. Neither Russia nor USSR has never denied that Americans landed on the moon.

Not too long ago Russia declassified documents related to the project "Poisk" ("Search" in Russian) which was devoted to intercepting American astronauts' communications with the ground.

But it is significant that according to a recent poll, only 31 percent of Russian adults accepted that U.S. astronauts landed on the moon in the last century.

Meaning we have here a population that is so used to being propagandized that it propagandizes itself without even being told to.


You are upsetting your beloved and somewhat thin-skinned uncle.


Yeah, he gets that way sometimes.


Be respectful to your uncle, dear niece.
