  • Communist) Academy
    4 I SCIENCE, ORTH ODOXY, AND THE QUEST FOR HEGEMONY AT THE SOCIALIST (COMMUNIST) ACADEMY Bolshevik intellectuals presented their cause as a class strug­ gle with bourgeois academia. Their primary field of battle in higher learning, however, was first and foremost institutional. When Evgenii B. Preobrazhenskii insisted in the Socialist Academy's newly founded jour­ nal in 1922 that the academy "represents the highest scientific research institute of Marxist thought," the academy leader was linking the Bol­ shevik declaration of war in organized intellectual life to his own insti­ tutional base. It has rarely been considered, but such assertions of pri­ macy implied as many internal ramifications for the Bolsheviks as outward effects for the nonparty intellectual world. The Socialist Academy - Preobrazhenskii elaborated on his claim to authority - "does not recognize social science not operating on the basis of Marxism. The Academy must turn itself into its own kind of Gosplan in the realm of ideology."l In this formulation, the assertion of orthodoxy, and the vision of a new kind of planned science, or nauka, is intertwined with the claim to hegemony - not simply of a doctrine, a party, or a class, but of an institution.2 1. E. Preobrazhenskü, "Blizhaishie zadachi Sotsialisticheskoi Akademii," Vestnik Sotsia­ listicheskoi Akademii (henceforth cited as VSA), no. 1 (November 1922): 7, 9. 2. "Hegemony" is employed not in tbe Gramscian sense, but in the blunter meaning most frequently implicit in tbe Bolshevik use of tbe word gegemoniia, denoting wide-ranging dornina­ tion, political subordination, and eon�ol over activities and resources. THE SOCIALlST (COMMUNIST) ACADEMY 1 193 No matter that Gosplan, the central state planning agency, was of negligible importance at the time Preobrazhenskii wrote; no matter, indeed, that the Socialist (after 1924, Cornmunist) Academy never achieved the hegemony in the Soviet scholarly world that its leaders coveted.

    THE ROLE OF ISAAK PREZENT IN THE RISE AND FALL OF LYSENKOISM GIULIA RISPOLI1 ABSTRACT. The establishment of an “official” biology in the Soviet Union is often associated with the rise of Trofim D. Lysenko and with the unbridled power that he exercised with the active complicity of Stalin. However, Lysenko did not apply his tyrannical methods with the same effectiveness and to the same ends throughout his career. The institutionalization of the new agron- omy involved a complex combination of factors, and the power and charisma of those who surrounded Lysenko greatly facilitated his indoctrination of this branch of science. One of the most influential collaborators of Lysenko was the Marxist ideologist and Party official Isaak Izrailevich Prezent, whose relation- ship with Lysenko is crucial to understand Lysenko’s development from a simple plant breeder to a political force of the Soviet Union. KEY WORDS. Trofim D. Lysenko, Isaak I. Prezent, official biology, genetics, Academy Session, Alexander A. Malinovskij, science and politics, Soviet sci- ence, Stalinism, agricultural sciences. LYSENKO COMES TO POWER In a report published in 1944, the distinguished Soviet geologist Alexander E. Fersman was eager to demonstrate to the Western world the scientific advances achieved by the Soviet scientists thanks to the advent of Com- munism. His words sounded flattering especially in the field of biological sciences: In the study of the organism and its cells T. D. Lysenko was right when he wrote in the columns of the Herald of the Academy of Sciences that the nature of an organism is unusually pliant and inconstant, that changes in it may occur in the course of not only several generations but even during several days of its life, and that these changes may be caused artificially.

  • Why Did Stalin Not Support a Quick Victory for the Korean People's Army? Stalin's Unspoken Global Security Strategy for the Korean War | 81
    Why Did Stalin Not Support a Quick Victory for the Korean People’s Army? Stalin’s Unspoken Global Security Strategy for the Korean War Youngjun Kim In this paper, I argue that Stalin maintained a maximum gain/minimum risk security strategy during the Korean War. For the first time, I challenge a com- mon misconception that the Korean People’s Army of North Korea copied and followed the Soviet Army’s operational strategy during the war. I question why the KPA did not follow the Soviet Army’s operational concept in guranteeing a quick victory, and why the Kremlin and Soviet military advisors kept silent during the initial stage of the war. Because the KPA did not follow the Soviet Army’s operational strategy initially, the United Nations forces were able to arrive in Pusan, extending the war. Why didn’t Stalin want a quick victory? Did Stalin want bigger benefits than a quick victory on the Korean Peninsula by delaying the war and distracting the enemy? By examining the KPA’s perfor- mance according to the Soviet Army’s operational concept, I argue that Stalin wanted to use the Korean War as a useful card in his global struggle against the United States. He wanted to lower the risk of war in the European theater because Europe was more strategically significant than Northeast Asia. The memory of Nazi Germany’s invasion was still fresh in Stalin’s mind at the outbreak of the Korean War. Throughout the war, Stalin’s top priority was the national interests of the Soviet Union, and he did not take into account the costs to allies China and North Korea.

  • Note a Soviet-German Military Collaboration Throughout
    NOTE A SOVIET-GERMAN MILITARY COLLABORATION THROUGHOUT this period, the secret military agreements formed the hard kernel of Soviet-German relations. Since only those im­ mediately concerned were initiated into the details of this collaboration, and the records, at any rate on the German side, were systematically destroyed, information about it is intermittent and imperfect. Colla­ boration in aeronautical matters is the best documented, and was probably the most important. Early in 1924 a crisis occurred in the affairs of the Junkers aircraft factory at Fili, operated under a concession agreement from the Soviet Government. 1 The Reichswehr demanded a large expansion of the Fili enterprise and the association with Junkers of another firm specializ­ ing in the manufacture of aircraft engines (apparently the Bayerische Motorenwerke) - a project which from the outset encountered strong opposition from Junkers.2 As a result of negotiations a new agreement was signed on May S' 1924, between Sondergruppe R. of the Reichswehr Ministry, the Junkers firm and the Soviet authorities. Under this agreement, or on the occasion of it, the Reichswehr promised to Junkers a further subvention of eight million gold marks, in addition to four millions already advanced, for the extension of the factory at Fili; the Soviet authorities promised to place a large order for aircraft for the Red Fleet.J The shortage of Soviet orders for Fili was one of a list of grievances put forward by Brockdorff-Rantzau in an interview with Trotsky a month later.4 But the question of the supply of aero­ plane engines remained acute; and in June 1924 Rozengolts was trying I See The Bolshevik Revolution, I9I7-I9Z3, Vol.

Marcelline Hutton Resilient Russian Women in the 1920s & 1930s The stories of Russian educated women, peasants, prisoners, workers, wives, and mothers of the 1920s and 1930s show how work, marriage, family, religion, and even patriotism helped sustain them during harsh times. The Russian Revolution launched an economic and social upheaval that released peasant women from the control of traditional extended fam- ilies. It promised urban women equality and created opportunities for employment and higher education. Yet, the revolution did little to elim- inate Russian patriarchal culture, which continued to undermine wom- en’s social, sexual, economic, and political conditions. Divorce and abor- tion became more widespread, but birth control remained limited, and sexual liberation meant greater freedom for men than for women. The transformations that women needed to gain true equality were post- poned by the pov erty of the new state and the political agendas of lead- ers like Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.

  • The Beginnings of the Soviet Encyclopedia
    The beginnings of the Soviet encyclopedia. Utopia and misery of mathematics in the political turmoils of the 1920s. Laurent MAZLIAK1 Abstract : In this paper we focus on the beginning of publication of the Large Soviet Encyclopedia, launched in 1925. We present the context of this launching and explain why it was tightly connected to the period of the New Economical Policy. In a last section, we examine four articles included in the first volumes of the encyclopedia and relative to randomness and probability, in order to illustrate some debates of the scientific scene in USSR during the 1920s. Key-Words and Phrases : National encyclopedia. USSR. New Economical Policy. History of probability theory. Foundations of Probability. Otto Schmidt. Arthur Bowley. Introduction The Large Soviet encyclopedia (Большая Советская Энциклопедия ; LSE in the sequel) was a gigantic enterprise to the glory of "Marxist science" and of the Soviet regime. There were three editions : the first one was launched in 1926, the second one in 1949, the third one in 1977. The statement of these years alone allows to understand the enormous differences between the three editions. Moreover, one observes that if the second and the third were launched in a relatively short period of time, nine years for both, the first edition needed more than twenty years to be completed. Roughly speaking, the second edition of the LSE was characterized by the years of Stalinist glaciation of the 1950s, when, after World War 2, Soviet Union and its satellite countries were more or less isolated behind the iron curtain. As for the third one, it represented the last attempt for the declining regime to present a general picture of the Soviet conception of the world and it implied a deep tidying up of the most salient aspects inherited from the Stalinist period.

  • Introduction Threading the Needle
    INTRODUCTION THREADING THE NEEDLE The Soviet Order between Exceptionalism and Shared Modernity evolutionaries, whatever else they may believe, are predisposed to think that they are turning an entirely new page in history. As revolutionary R rulers consolidate their new order, they become even more heavily invested in touting its unprecedented nature. The Bolshevik Revolution in fact triggered decades of far-reaching transformation; it was marked by an initial wave of icono- clasm, violence, and utopianism that fueled the idea of Soviet exceptionalism, both at home and abroad. Even after Stalin’s “second revolution” accentuated a hybrid combination of radical change and what might be called statist-conservative el- ements, the notion that communism was unique and sui generis was constantly trumpeted in Soviet ideology, assuming a prominent place in propaganda aimed at domestic and foreign audiences. It was given additional weight by a range of factors: the distance of Stalin’s USSR from the “capitalist” world, the novelty of the five-year plans and the abolition of private property, the political system and the party-state, and a thoroughly altered culture and society. These features of the Soviet order could easily be perceived even by those who could see beyond endless talk of the “new world” and the new historical epoch that the world’s first socialist country had begun. Acceptance of communist novelty, however, was shaped not just by the nature of the revolutionary enterprise. It was furthered inside the country and without by the layering of Soviet claims onto the great debates about Russian national identity in the nineteenth century, which had already placed enormous stress on Russian difference.

  • Biologists and the Ethics of Science During Early Stalinism*
    E. I. Kolchinsky Biologists and the Ethics of Science during Early Stalinism* Neither temptation nor salvation appear out of nowhere. Each person carries within oneself their own Jesus and their own Judas. A. M. Ugolev The history of biology in the USSR is a popular topic for social his- torians of science. Mostly, they pay particular attention to Lysenko’s activities, and his connections with general party-state policy. The bi- ological community, as a rule, is depicted as a victim of the Lysenkoists. The question arises then, why did these scientists willingly cooperate with the Stalinist regime, often participating in its pseudo-scientific projects? We suggest that Lysenkoism appears as the ugliest result of the Stalinist regime because of its connections with the deformation of bi- ologist’s ethics during the years of the NEP and the "Cultural Revolution", i. e. between 1922 and 1932. During this period it was not only the political leadership, but also, and primarily, the scientists themselves, who initiated the ideologization of natural sciences. Displacement in the consciousness was reflected in the struggle within the biological community: in the reaction of various groups of scientists to the sovietization, proletariatization and dia- lectization moral of biology; in the influence of these processes on the themes and language of research; on the rituals of scientific events, on the ideas, values, and traditions of biologists; on their interrelationship with the authorities, and on the style of scientist's behavior (1). In the historical literature these events are usually described from the perspective of some group that participated in the biological discussions during that period (2, p.
