[Megi Kartsivadze · Rating 4 out of 5]

Highly recommended for those interested in the correlation between science and politics, especially within the scope of the Soviet 'psychedelia':))) it describes the impact Stalinist policy had on various scientific fields such as biology, philosophy, linguistics, physiology, physics and economics by examining the Soviet archives, revealing Stalin's active interference in scientific discussions. The most appealing aspect of this book for me is that although it is basically focused on past events, particular explanation for the ongoing processes in the Post Soviet scientific area can be found in it.

I became interested in this book a number of yeArs after completing a. Open University Course in International Politics. It struck m a chord with my interest in the planning. Debate and in the remarkable though forced developments in Soviet society during the Post war period.
