Trofim Lysenko - “...Though for a period the Soviet government under Stalin continued its support of agricultural scientists, after 1935 the balance of power abruptly swung towards Lysenko and his followers. Lysenko was put in charge of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of the Soviet Union and made responsible for ending the propagation of “harmful” ideas among Soviet scientists. Lysenko served this purpose by causing the expulsion, imprisonment, and death of hundreds of scientists and eliminating all study and research involving Mendelian genetics throughout the Soviet Union. This period is known as Lysenkoism. He bears particular responsibility for the persecution of his predecessor and rival, prominent Soviet biologist Nikolai Vavilov, which ended in 1943 with the imprisoned Vavilov’s death by starvation. In 1941 Lysenko was awarded the Stalin Prize.”....
Now we know where the Climate change persecution of scientists BS comes from. This is really scary the stuff one goes through to justify taxation, stealing people’s positions, and going on high government welfare. So much destruction for a little bit of vanity and pride in 100% ownership and psycho possession.
