I’m resurrecting my post from this day in 2021 because the question it asks still requires some sort of answer.

“The article, at its core, is about how Lysenko’s fake science, intended to demonstrate the superiority of Marxist theory, was responsible for the death by starvation not only of Nikolai Vavilov but also of uncountable millions of Russians.

“Does a photo faked to show Vavilov in the card index of a library not undermine that intent?”
