They knew it was true. The US made no secret of their intentions to go to the moon. The USSR also had people feeding them information. Once the launch was made they could monitor it just as well as the US. Radio telemetry and location of signals would have confirmed the landing.

No, of course not. They monitored the Apollo mission on radio and radar and knew that it was true.
Don’t you think that the Soviets would have presented the proof and crowed from the rooftops had they even suspected that the Americans faked the landings?
