A comment on the quote "modern genetics is burgeois"

Earlier on Friday Mr.Xavier has said that modern genetics was considered to be heretics, or burgeois to be exact, in the former Soviet Union. I have dug around a bit and find out that such view was actually prevalent during Nikita Khruschoyv's rule, not under Iosef Stalin's. In particular, Trofim Lysenko was responsible for such view. It is true that he came to prominence during Stalin's rule, but it was Khruschoyv's tenure that his view was widely enforced. An explanation for such view was that back then such genetic concepts were still unknown, combined with the fact that Mendel was a priest, hence such Lamarckian view became widespread in the USSR since later half of the 1950s.
