$\begingroup$ Your answer seems to be self-contradictory: "It was Korolev's death, but when he died it was already too late for the USSR to compete" $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Welcome to Space Exploration Stack Exchange! You may want to read through the other previous answers as most of this was already covered. As you mentioned the loss of Korolev may not have made a difference in the end, because as you said (and mentioned by others) the program started late. Would you be able to elaborate on this aspect, i.e. some details on how and when the Russian program started and maybe how early they would have needed to start it? $\endgroup$
