About the book: 1973 / The USSR quietly abandoned the “lunar race” with the United States and American astronauts, not Soviet cosmonauts, were the first to land on the moon, although in the lunar there are serious doubts about the American program. We bring to your attention a sensational text that casts doubt on the successes of the Soviet cosmonautics, at least after 1965. Let us ask ourselves the question: were we always the first in space or did our priority in space exploration end in 1965–1970? Let us immediately warn everyone about our anti-patriotism - we are publishing this text, although we ourselves, due to our patriotic feelings, do not entirely agree with it, with minimal denominations so that the truth will still prevail. We were the first to fly into space, but then why didn’t we land first on the Moon? Was it really just money that was missing, or did Soviet insanity prevail, as always? Or was our film industry not up to the level of Hollywood to organize staged filming of this level? However, if Napoleon had had the Soviet newspaper Pravda, the world would never have known about his defeat at Waterloo.
