#1 to show Russia "is a state capable of delivering a payload to the moon,"

Mission successful. Just like a missile.

#4 I wonder how many billion rubles this little effort sucked up? (I read somewhere ~$16B since 2014)

All in the name of showing to the world (and internally) ~~Soviet~~Russian 'greatness'.

#5 In typical ~~Soviet~~ Russian fashion, it landed in a dense civilian center
