This isn't a hit piece from a left wing magazine, it's from an article in Scientific America.

Starting in the 1930s, the Soviets spurned genetics in favor of Lysenkoism, a fraudulent theory of heredity inspired by Communist ideology. Doing so crippled agriculture in the U.S.S.R. for decades.

Go read the whole thing, ya lazy bastid.
