We put a man on the moon in 1969. Lukhod landed on the moon in 1970 and 1973. They were landed on the moon after us, and they didn't even send a man.

Also interesting is the fact that in Soviet Block, they were shown as a proof that USSR does care about pepole's lifes much more than US does, so rather than risking dnagerous human mission on the moon, they only sent robot, while astronauts stayed safely at home.
