==Attack on Biology==

Lysenko connected his evolution theory to [[Marxism|Marxist-Leninist]] theory and began attacking all those who disagreed with him, using state institutions against them.  With growing support from [[Stalin]] (who would come to support Lysenkoism directly), Lysenko had many of his opponents, called [[Mendel|Mendelists]] removed from their jobs, and even imprisoned during Stalin's purges of 1937-8, by connecting them to matters of treason.  Lysenko was established as a de-facto dictator of Biology in 1948, as the Soviet Union entrenched Lysenkoism as state-sponsored doctrine.
