Synopsis

The classic of Stalinist aberrant genetic theory, hortiturist Lysenko rejected orthodox genetics in favor of the theories of those of the Russian hortiturist I. V. Michurin (d. 1935). Among his theories were that wheat raised under certain conditions produce seeds of rye and that theoretical biology must be fused with Sot agritural practice. He was the total autocrat of Sot biology from 1948 through 1953, and believed that through inherited characteristics Stalinism would create a 'new man'. Lysenko held that heredity can be changed by husbandry, a theory that had disastrous impact on Sot agriture. He was dismissed from his post as director of the Sot Institute of Genetics.
