“BTW, the Soviets arrested people and worse for teaching Darwinism.” You have some examples of this?

Of course it isn't true. One of the most "eminent" darwinians, Haldane, Darwin Medalist and co-founder of the Modern Synthesis, was a shill for Lysenko. It's kind of hard to reconcile the fact that the architect of the modern theory of evolution was a useful idiot for Stalin, with the notion that the Soviets were anti-Darwinian. In fact Haldane mentions (Science Advances) that Vavilov (the guy who ended up in the Gulag) was alledged to have had anti-Darwinian views.
