==Fall from Power==
Lysenko's fortunes waned following Stalin's death in 1953, as [[Nikita Khrushchev]] was less willing to provide him with unlimited power. By the 1950s, Lysenkoism was being thoroughly disproven by western [[genetics]] (not by Darwinian evolution as its supporters like to claim), throwing his authority into question. He was removed from office and left to conduct small-scale research on a state farm.
