Both Stalin and Lysenko were LAMARKIAN evolutionists.
While Darwinian evolution has been demonstrated in the lab (yes it HAS!); Lamarkian evolution has been shown to be false in the lab. Moreover Darwinian evolution has an actual mechanism proposed (DNA, mutation, selection) while Lamarkian evolution has to rely on "vital forces" that apparently don't work in the lab (or anywhere else for that matter).
Neither Stalin or Lysenko was interested in Science, only Communist ideology. Lamarkian evolution falls in line with Communist ideology, and like Communist economic theory- it has been entirely disproven and discredited.

Both Stalin and Lysenko were LAMARKIAN evolutionists. And LAMARKIAN evolution is prefectly consistant with Intelligent Design.
