SHOW NOTES
Almost a year ago, the ekofascism series came to a dramatic painful conclusion with the green dossier and the Hunger Plan. If you at some point stopped and wondered during those last spring months how the USSR still managed to feed its people and eventually defeat the fascist monster that stood frothing at the gates of Moscow, then fear not, because the return of the repressed is returning with another longer season of answers.
The most demanding expedition yet, one that will answer questions you didn’t even know you had. This investigation of the most hated scientists in western modern history, might eventually turn on its head everything you ever thought you knew about biology.
Without further ado I present to you dear listener, the story of Trofim Lysenko!
This is amazing. Thank you for posting! The Lysenko story is wild, and one of my favorites. There is almost nothing available in the English language that portrays “Lysenkoism” as a reaction to Fascist Eugenics. The compelling part of the story is how extreme the influence of political ideology was on the science of genetics at the time, and this guy gets it.
