This is amazing. Thank you for posting! The Lysenko story is wild, and one of my favorites. There is almost nothing available in the English language that portrays "Lysenkoism" as a reaction to Fascist Eugenics. The compelling part of the story is how extreme the influence of political ideology was on the science of genetics at the time, and this guy gets it.
