The Argument Between Vavilov And Lysenko Under The Political Background

The argument that occurred in the former Soviet Union 20th century 30's between Vavilov and Lysenko was about the genetics and a selective breeding polemic. It has tremendous influence to former Soviet Union's scientific status, the scientific level and the agricultural production. The research take the process of the production and development of the argument as the masterstroke, give a thoroughly dissertation to the society politics and other factor in the argument. By the research we can get the conclusion that the political is the main reason of the occurrence and the development of the argument. We can get the conclusion that there is a fundamental collision between science and politics. Politics needs the science but doesn't trust it very much. There is contradiction between politics and the scientific especially the scientific thought and scientific spirit. The science has a rule which can make the science develop themselves. The intervention of the politics to the science would sharpen the contradiction and give a counterwork to the development of the science. China have a similar experience with former Soviet Union, so the study the argument have a important significance of theory and practice for us.
