“The apparatus moved into an unpredictable orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the moon,” Roscosmos said in a statement.
That's a hell of a way to put it. Might just be the translator, but it seriously made me LOL.

Apparently landing on another planet is rather difficult to do. And it's extremely difficult if there's no human aboard to adjust for changing conditions. Mars has 19 piles of crashed failed landings.
Timewise 60+

Russia will claim they wanted to crash into the moon. Landings come later...
Made me laugh too .... couldn't happen to a better country.

To be fair, Russia did land on Venus several times (so they say). Most of the crafts crashed or malfunctioned, but two of them successfully sent back photos, and Russia shared those photos with Europe, China, the UK, and USA & Canada.
