Very convenient how you left out the last two sentences in the paragraph about Lysenko and Lamarckism:
>After the 1960s, during the Khrushchev Thaw, a policy of liberalization of science was implemented. Lysenkoism was officially renounced in 1963.
Hmm. Almost like you started with your mind made up and went looking for the quickest thing that confirmed it.
Of course, the US didn't engage in any cooky political pseudoscience from the 1930s to 60s. Only the bad guys were backwards 80 years ago right?
> The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male, also known as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study or Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment or the United States Public Health Services Study of Untreated Syphilis in Black Males was an infamous, unethical, and malicious clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service. The purpose of this study was to observe the natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural African-American men in Alabama under the guise of receiving free health care from the United States government.

Well say, what do you know, it's almost like going back 80 years and finding some old fucked up political shit is an unfair way to prove a country is backwards.
