Don't mind the source, it's just the top result on Google, needed an English article.

In a response to the US' investigation into FIFA, Russia wants to launch an investigation into missing artifacts from the moon landing.

An international investigation could help solve the mystery of the disappearance of film footage from the original moon landing in 1969, or explain where the nearly 400 kilograms of lunar rock reportedly obtained during several such missions between 1969 and 1972 have been spirited away to, Markin suggested.

"We are not contending that they did not fly [to the moon], and simply made a film about it. But all of these scientific — or perhaps cultural — artifacts are part of the legacy of humanity, and their disappearance without a trace is our common loss. An investigation will reveal what happened," Markin wrote.

U.S. space agency NASA admitted in 2009 that the original recordings of the first moon landing had been erased, but said they had managed to remaster the original television broadcast of the landing, Reuters reported at the time.

Of the approximately 380 kilograms of moon rock said to have been obtained during manned U.S. moon landings, the bulk is stored in the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Texas, though samples can be seen on display in various museums around the world.

They can do that right after they investigate the abundance of political murders in Russia.

It doesn't even surprise me as long as Russians are involved..

Mostly just seems like they're upset because they feel the US is stepping outside their boundaries by investigating an international organization, this looks like their way of saying "hah, we can investigate you, too!"

Haha, Mother Russia is grand and great and Putin is great.
Even USA must know this.
Like, they try to retrieve lost artifacts of Humanity, for Humans are important to Russia.
Please spare the peasantry; there are no political murders in Russia!
Must we all attack our greatest country?
Ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, America is the one who should be investigated for their suspicious activities?

Maybe you should run for PM of Russia because "they feel the US is stepping outside their boundaries" is really all that needs to be said, and I would probably agree with. But getting into this whole we can investigate you too pissing contest that outside of entertainment for some isn't helpful.

I don't have the moon-sized balls required to run for political office in Russia

That's what it sounds like to me too. They'd have to be pretty crazy to assert we didn't go. There's mirrors up there that anyone can use, really.

Screw Russia and Putin as entertainment, soon its time for the GOP presidential race to begin.
Best comedy ever made.

I don't see how investigating money laundering in your nation by an organization is "over stepping your bounds" though.

With Trump in the race, this might beat the Sarah Palin one

[Crissi]

Sure, only after we investigsate wether RUssia REALLY sent the firts human into space. In fact, investigate their entire space program to make sure!

this is just stupid levels of silliness...

Also, I doubt they'll be able to get access to the LBJ center anyways, cause Texas.

[Cradyz]

Oh Russia, they're so transparent it's like they're not even trying at all. It's really just the international political equivalent of "nah-ah you're infinity stupid plus 1".. At this point their petty jabs are just becoming annoying.

[Independent voter]

The tires are gone off their lander? It wasn't us.

[Easo]

Strange time to start worrying about it...
Coincedence, right?

Wow,very silly, not sure if serious.
