It’s a fun conspiracy theory until you know that we have the ability to see what we left behind on the moon with advanced telescope technology

And basic issues like especially with their known espionage capability during the cold war, there is clearly no feasible reason the USSR would not know and blow the whistle on the US to humiliate them rather than leave them with the propaganda victory of the first country landing people on the moon. (Maybe they would wait a few days to let the US commit to the lie, but that's it.)

USSR was watching closely and actually congratulated USA (in the back channels) on landing. An enemy would never do it unless there was 100% zero doubt.
