Soviets poll at 57% to know it is a hoax, because they know how easy it is to manipulate opinion with propaganda, when in control of all sources of information like USA. Combined with school indoctrination, the next generations can indulge their corruption just the same.
Over a half of all Russians believe that US astronauts have never been on the Moon and that the US authorities and NASA covered up this fact by forging proof of moon landings, a new poll 2018 shows.
In the recent survey titled “Science and society: authority and trust” experts of the Russian state-run public opinion research center VTSIOM wrote that 57 percent of Russians currently think that the US claims of successful manned Moon missions are lies and that the documented proof of these missions was forged. Only 24 percent of respondents said that they believed that the manned Moon missions were real.
Researchers also specified that 65 percent of those who think that the US authorities are lying about the moon landings have secondary education.
This indeed shows how difficult it is to break out of the Hoax Spiral, once you get deeper in. All of USA resources expended over last 5 decades to retain the Hoax? Not voluminous, but triggering. Get the schools in line (teachers are always obedient to trends and fads), the rest will fall in line. And so goes the music.
Almost anything can be believed, when the authoritative spin is right.
