RIP Americans who died of treatable conditions because the Soviets lost the Cold War and we don't have public healthcare.

germany hasn't been cracking down on jewish scientists ever since the third reich got defeated but the university of gottingen never recovered as a world centre of mathematics and physics, go figure

When you say "Russia has only recently recovered from Lysenkoism," that implies that they were incapable of reading biological journals for decades after they formally ended Lysenkoism. As if they are somehow starting up biology completely from scratch only a few years ago.

yes dude russian science was definitely separated from western science up until the soviet union fell both politically and linguistically

watson and crick discovered the structure of dna in 1953. lysenko was not discredited until the 1960s

in the words of the great dissident scientist sakharov who helped restore russian academia: "Lysenko is responsible for the shameful backwardness of Soviet biology and of genetics in particular."

so yeah it kinda seems that you are the incredibly stupid one on this here matter pener

You keep moving the goalposts around from "Russian biology couldn't recover until recently" to "Russia is only a leader of biology until recently," and now that you've been called out for acting like scientific research in the West and the Warsaw Pact were mutually unintelligible because it's somehow impossible to translate English to a cyrillic alphabet, you've cited the developer of Soviet thermonuclear weapons as if it has anything to do with what you're saying.

lmao engage tankie mode

when did i call russia a leader in biology

who is calling me out? if you're acting like there wasn't a definitive barrier between soviet and western science during the cold war i don't even know what to say lol

Obviously there are going to be significant barriers in the sharing of research considered essential for the national defense, like nuclear weapons or stealth technology, but Soviet and Western scientists exchanged information on theoretical research all the time. There were multiple Soviet recipients of the Nobel prize in science even.
