Russia released a transcript of their (the USSR’s) intercepted Apollo moon mission communications last year. If the Soviets say the Americans did it, then I believe it.
Especially at a time when tensions between Russian federation and USA are at an all time high. They have an extreme incentive to lie in the opposite direction and say America never landed on the moon. But they didn’t say that.
True, but I don’t think Russia is that crazy. It’s more of a “we were able to track your entire space flight and hear everything you said”.
However, from what I remembered about the story, it was likely more innocuous than that. Some Russian reporter from a major news outlet (forgot which one) was writing a story and asked the space agency for some materials, and they went sure, here you go. Like, it wasn’t intended to be released as some kind of political statements.

Neat. Do you know where could I read more about this? Google is failing me.

I also couldn’t find it at first and thought I had hallucinated the whole thing.
