This fascinating review article describes how hypoxic adaptation was first
developed in the USSR during the late 1930's and how these studies were
ignored for decades by Western science because to Stalin's corrupting
influence and the disgraced studies of the geneticist Lysenko who warped his
findings to fit with communistic ideals.
