We too watched the landing live

Posted by Victor Khomenko on May 2, 2019 at 15:05:02:
Our university's summer camp was close to Hungarian border, so we watched their TV.
The USSR was I believe the only country in the world that did not show it.
It wasn't even in the news, so pissed were the Russians, suffering one huge failure of their monstrous N1 rocket after another.
After the landing their estimates was calling for them being about 5 years behind, but by all accounts that was hugely optimistic estimate.
Big part of the problem lies squarely on their chief designer Korolev. It was he, who kept pushing the ridiculous N1 over the far more reliable UR-700, with disastrous results. He was also responsible for poor choice of the lunar ship design.
After 4 unsuccessful N1 launches they gave up on their Moon program. I think they were more than 10 years behind, because they had no suitable rocket at all.
