As someone from the former USSR, I find that hard to imagine. Downright denial that the moon landings even happened, sure, but seeing them as a bad event? Not really likely.

Maybe not a bad event in itself, but a sign of decline to come perhaps?

They have much more concrete ‘local’ examples (from the people I know). Moon landing never came up.

They were the first to orbit, after all.
