        Lysenkoism had been the official scientific stance on evolution in China from 1946 to 1956. Sounds like he had fuck all to do with China, sure.

        Several of the techniques employed on collectivized farms, such as sextupling the density of seeds or deep plowing, were solely based on Lysenkoist teaching and had a fatal impact on yields.
