Default Russian moon landers

Sorry to be so off topic. I am interested in finding a video or still
pictures from that video that was taken by an astronaut during a moon
landing. It included a view of a Russian moon lander. The video might
have been the personal property of the astronaut. I hope it is
available somehow for viewing. Do any of you know about it?



No Apollo mission landed near enough to a Russian one to visit:

Apollo 15 was as close as they came, and it landed over 100 km from
Luna 2:

80 km in diameter.)

You may be thinking of Apollo 12, which did land near Surveyor 3:
