Refimprove date August 2011 Soviet Union sidebar In the Soviet Union , science and technology served as an important part of national politics , practices, and identity. From the time of Lenin until the dissolution of the USSR in the early 1990s, both science and technology were intimately linked to the ideology and practical functioning of the Soviet state, and were pursued along paths both similar and distinct from models in other countries. Many great scientists, who worked in Imperial Russia like, e.g. Konstantin Tsiolkovsky , continued to work in the USSR and gave birth to Soviet science. Marked by a highly developed pure science and innovation at the theoretical level, interpretation and application fell short. Biology , chemistry , materials science , mathematics , and physics , were fields in which Soviet citizens have excelled. Science was emphasized at all levels of education, and very large numbers of engineer s graduated every year. The Soviet government made the development and advancement of science a national priority and showered top scientists with honours. Although the sciences were less rigorously censored than other fields such as art, there were several examples of Suppressed research in the Soviet Union suppression of ideas . In the most notorious, agronomist Trofim Lysenko refused to accept the chromosome theory of heredity usually accepted by modern genetics . Claiming his theories corresponded to Marxism , he managed to talk Joseph Stalin in 1948 into banning population genetics and several other related fields of biological research this decision was only reversed in the 1960s. Soviet scientists won acclaim in several fields. They were at the cutting edge of science in fields such as mathematics and in several branches of physical science , notably theoretical nuclear physics , chemistry, and astronomy . The physical chemist and physicist Nikolay Semenov was the first Soviet citizen to win a Nobel Prize , in 1956 among several other Soviet ... more details
