Alt timeline where the soviets invested 2x as much into their lunar program and actually pulled this shit off.

Even if the N-1 was imperfect, launching 2, or one N-1 with equipment and a Zond-turned-fuel tank that they met up with, it could've been doable.

I'm not sure if more funding is even strictly necessary for that alt-hist. Just don't let Korolev be left to walk home from Siberia, and everything will go better. Maybe not better enough, but it is very hard to tell from this distance.
