Darwin's Jubilee in the USSR and Lysenkoism
The article shows how the Soviet Powers used celebrations Darwin's jubilee in the USSR to maintain control over biologists' community by presenting Trofim Lysenko as an architect of the Soviet version of Darwinism in 1932-1959. At the same time Soviet scientists sought ways to use Darwin's jubilee to promote other evolutionary ideas, and first of all SET. At times when administrative repressions went down in 1957 they maintained free-spoken criticism of Lysenkoism.
