Ken Johnston, the NASA expert, the former Manager of the Data and Photo Control Department at NASA’s Lunar Receiving Laboratory during NASA’s manned Apollo Lunar Program, and the award winner Richard C. Hoagland presented on their site the Moon images, which resulted in accusing NASA of holding back the scientifically important information for about three decades.
The articles presented on the portal aroused interest abroad. Saying that the Russians independently revealed the anomalies on the images presented on the NASA site, which become evident even after the simplest processing, the mentioned people offer the possible explanation for the anomalies origin.
The image (picture 2) is given on CNews R&D blog with no comments. The site creators only say '... the Russians revealed the most evident image processing...' The given processing results in the image of an astronaut containing nothing dubious at first site to become rather strange.
The anomalies on the other image (picture 4) also presented on CNews R&D portal are likely to have been explained. According to Richard C. Hoagland, in the given case one can speak about processing the image with a razor blade, the given technology used in the analog era.
The given technology means that several positives are first produced. Then one of them is used as a background, while some fragments are cut out of the others, so that finally the undesirable objects in the image are covered. Under the given circumstances the parallel lines, which are not seen on the final analog image, can be revealed through digital processing.

On the images produced on the site one can see some objects in the background not characteristic for the Moon. Meanwhile, it is impossible to jump to any certain conclusion. However, such anomaly origin deserves to be studied.
