If one thinks a Moon landing is the arrival of an intact (i.e not a crash into the Moon) unmanned spacecraft onto the Moon's surface, then the Russians were the first to do this in 1966

However, if one thinks of a Moon landing as the arrival and return of a manned spacecraft onto the Moon's surface then the people of US were the first to do this in 1969. No other nation has yet made a manned moon landing.

The United States was the first country to land humans on the moon on July 20, 1969 with the Apollo 11 mission. The Soviet Union, now Russia, had unmanned missions to the moon before the United States, but never successfully landed humans on its surface.
