@HygieneMentale Merci pour le partage ! Ironie toutefois, la critique du
#lyssenkisme faite dans cet interview n'a pas l'air complètement honnête sur l'état des connaissances historiographiques sur le sujet depuis plus de 10 ans, je le cite :
le lyssenkisme, qui, dans l’Union soviétique de
#Staline, entraîna le bannissement de la génétique au nom de l’idéologie
#communiste[...]
Sur
#Lyssenko, il y a peu d’archives.
[...]
#TrofimLyssenko est à part. C’est un
#agronome de base qui, grâce à
#Staline, arrive à dominer la biologie en
#UnionSoviétique et à faire interdire la génétique jugée "bourgeoise"
Je n'ai pas encore vu ce qu'en dit précisément le documentaire, peut-être que les propos racontent une histoire plus honnête. Dans tous les cas je recommande très fortement le papier «
Pavel Pantelimonovich Luk’ianenko and the Origins of the Soviet Green Revolution » présenté au « Second International Workshop on Lysenkoism », en 2012 ! Par l'historien
#MarkTauger, étatsunien (
#WestVirginiaUniversity ) russophone, non connu pour être marxiste, et reconnu comme expert de l'histoire de l'agriculture russe.
Je ne cite ci-dessous que sa conclusion, mais le détail est tout aussi intéressant, notamment concernant la récente
« furie anti-science » qu'est devenue la campagne pro-« Holodomor », soit-disant « génocide par la faim ukrainien » en 1932-33 (appelée «
#Holodomor » uniquement d'ailleurs depuis la
seconde vague de propagande mensongère issue d' #Harvard durant les années #Reagan) :
[F]. ConclusionsThe work of
#Lukianenko and certain other grain breeders led to an explosion of research on HYVs in
#Russia from the 1960s onward, as well as substantial genetics research and greatly improved education that began even before
#Lysenko’s removal from power. These topics, however, lie outside the scope of this article. (109) This study of
#Lukianenko challenges the prevailing view that
#Lysenko held back Soviet genetics for a generation. While certainly during the heyday of
#Lysenkoism, the
#Soviet regime victimized many excellent
#Soviet geneticists and wasted money and time on fraudulent Lysenkoists’ “research,” many other scientists conducted valid, substantial, and important work—particularly in the area of plant breeding.
#Lukianenko was not the only agricultural scientist who did such research in these years, but his work had more national and international significance than that of any other
#Soviet agricultural scientist in this period.
This work differed greatly from the conventional view of scientific research in the time of
#Lysenko:
#Lukianenko’s work began before
#Lysenko’s rise and continued despite his dominance.
#Lukianenko’s work relied substantially on plant varieties from outside the
#USSR, in many cases brought into the
#USSR through the work of
#NikolaiVavilov. He also relied on conventional principles of genetics, including the guidelines for plant breeding published by
#Vavilov, as well as some breeding theories and techniques from outside the
#USSR. In particular he and his co-workers independently sought and achieved the same goals as the Italians around
#Strampelli in the early 20th century and
#Borlaug in the
#GreenRevolution of the 1950s-1960s.
#Lukianenko’s work during
#Lysenko’s time and afterwards produced several extremely important wheat varieties that had the same characteristics as the
#GreenRevolution varieties created by
#Borlaug.
#Lukianenko’s Bezostaia-1, a semi-dwarf rust resistant HYV earned the highest praise from European and American breeders including
#Borlaug as one of the best of the HYVs. This finding thus goes beyond even
#Krementsov’s points about scientists’ evasion of
#Lysenko. The work of
#Lukianenko and his colleagues, more than simply continuing previous genetics-based work in plant breeding, achieved breakthroughs that put it at the forefront of world wheat breeding, both in their methods and their results. Because of the accomplishments of
#Lukianenko and his co-workers in
#Krasnodar, a post-Soviet Russian symposium on breeding of wheat and triticale commemorating
#Lukianenko was entitled “The Green Revolution of P. P. Luk’ianenko.” (111) Thus despite
#Lysenko, Soviet agronomists and
#agriculture thus participated in the international
#GreenRevolution under
#Lysenko’s dominance as well as afterwards.
