No, the RD-270 program ran from 1962 until 1970, Glushko made 27 engines test
and the engine show combustions instability, he could have solve that problem had program went on.
I was under the impression that when Korolev and the N-1 were greenlit, the UR-700 the RD-270 had little more funding other than to keep the programs on life support and not be cancelled, but no real development until the N-1 was tested, then a need for a real backup program got some more funding, till the Soviets gave up on the Moon, and ended the RD-270, UR-700 and N-1 programs.in 1974 with funding cuts, and officially killed in '76
 
Actually the Soviet Moon program was mess, under funding, Technological issue, there were also rivalry between chief designers, Korolev hated Glushko, Chelomei machination, the incompetence of Vasily Mishin, and allot of vodka...

Compare to that were internal problem in NASA during Apollo a Kindergarten party...

Hmm, I wonder how the internal conflicts could be mitigated? IIRC there was no 1 space agency for the Soviets compared to the US's NASA. Would consildating it into one agency help here?

In "2001: A Space-Time Odysses ver2" i use a trick here Khrushchev son is hired by Korolev instead of Chelomei, give Korolev excellent connection to Khrushchev, who rule longer in that TL.
After dead of Korolev take Khrushchev son took over the N1 program what is quite different as Original N1

Your timeline has quite a lot of good ideas that are giving me some insperation for the background. So thanks. :)

Check Version 1 in Wiki it took UR-700 as Soviet Moon rocket.

I think to reuse that idea in another TL, but for moment i'm working TL on German Empire who survives WW1
