THE MEDICOGENETICAL INSTITUTE OF MOSCOW | 2006-11-03

Someone wrote me that he Googled the Medicogenetical Institute of Moscow and found only me as reference, so it must not be true.

The Medicogenetical Institude study on identical twins is discussed at some length in "Nature nad Man's Fate" by Garrett Hardin. I pointed out that I had a friend, an Oxford Professor of Genetics and one of about five hundred members of THE Royal Society, the one Isaac Newton belonged to, who had the experience of having his fellow Russian geneticists just disappear, one after another, after that study in the 1930s.

National Review's obituary on Lysenko discuss that Medicogenetical Institute study as the way he became Stalin's head of genetics.

This comment was of the "Mommy Professor never said that so you must be a peasant" variety. It said I didn't have an editor for my last book, peasant as I am, so no one could check out my facts for me. Actually, I discussed the Medicogenetical Institute study in my first book in my own name, "A Plague on Both Your Houses." That book definitely had an editor. It also got favorably reviewed in Publisher's Weekly, Kirkus, and was recommeded for puchase bythe American Library Association.

It was in the Review of Reviews and it was discussed in the New York Times Review of Books.

Which makes it really a news item that you cannot Google a major incident in scientific history except under MY name. NO ONE mentions the thousand sets of identical twins who were definitively studied by the Medicogenetical Institute of Moscow and discounted the environmentalism Communism, depended on, thereby getting the membership murdered by Stalin.

Mommy Professor never mentioned that so that makes ME a rube.

Can anybody but me see what a twit that makes the commenter? Can anyone else see the significance of this. It has been relegated to NON-history, all these peple have been relegated to NON-persons, and NOT JUST BY THE COMMUNISTS.
