Didn't Lysenkoism and a general rejection of evolutionary and Mendellian theory lead them to really really REALLY shitty agricultural practices that had lots more to do with the USSR falling than Reagan ever did? Sure they had given up Lysenkoism by the mid-1950's but their agriculture never recovered. That's why we were always selling them grain in the 1970's...

Just askin'...
