The final resting place of Russia’s failed Luna-25 lunar lander has apparently been found.
Luna-25, Russia’s first moon probe in 47 years, smashed into the lunar surface on Aug. 19, during a maneuver designed to set up its touchdown try a few days later.
The crash blasted out a new 33 feet (10 meters) wide crater, which NASA’s sharp-eyed Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) likely found last week, agency officials said.

I really would not be surprised if they had put a person on that mission in secret. With the hopes of making them a hero and show how great Ruzzia is.
The mission design doesn’t support bringing anything back, so no. As crappy as Russia may be, stranding a cosmonaut on the moon doesn’t sell well with anyone.
