    Yeah, well, Lysenko is the best known one. But yeah, "this confuses me so it is actually a bourgeois conspiracy, my uncle knows Stalin so I'm gonna have all professors researching that demoted" was a prevalent attitude these years unfortunately. They still had great science though, especially physics and math.
