At any given point in time, the technology of scientific institutions and the military is far ahead of civilian technology. If at any point, an American civilian could detect a hoax in the photos or videos of the moon landing, the Soviet techno-military machine would also have been able to detect it, and far easier and more accurate than a civilian.
Had the Soviets found legitimate evidence of a moon landing hoax, they would have been more than eager to broadcast to the world the incompetence of the American "capitalists".
