FROM THE HISTORY OF SIBERIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTES OF ANIMAL HUSBANDRY AND VETERINARY SCIENCE DURING THE PERIOD OF POLITICAL REPRESSION OF THE THIRTIES

Abstract

Based on archival records from Federal Security Service Administration for Novosibirsk and Omsk Regions, there are shown repression actions of the Soviet Party apparatus towards research workers of Western Siberia in the thirties. There are given facts unknown before, which allow us to discover the extent and character of prosecutions of agricultural scientists of that period, when a lot of them were declared participants of the counter-revolutionary conspiracy responsible for failures in socialist agriculture re-construction. Research activities in a number of agricultural research fields stopped conducting for decades. The names of scientists wrongfully subjected to repression, who were rehabilitated in the fifties and later because of failures to prove their faults, have been recovered.
