Editing Trofim Lysenko (section)

==Legacy==
In the Soviet Union, streets named after Lysenko existed in several cities, such as [[Krasnoturyinsk]].<ref>{{cite web | title=А вы знаете, где улица Эйзенаха?

[[Arkady and Boris Strugatsky]] cited Lysenko as the inspiration for the character of {{ill|Professor Ambrosy Ambruazovich Vybegallo|ru|Амвросий Амбруазович Выбегалло}} from their 1965 satirical science fantasy novel ''[[Monday Begins on Saturday]]'':<ref>OFF-LINE интервью с Борисом Стругацким.

{{blockquote|Professor Vibegallo is based on the once-famous academician Lysenko, who put all of Russian biology on all fours, spent more than thirty years doing nonsense and at the same time not only destroyed our entire biological science, but also trampled everything around, destroying (physically, with the help of the NKVD) all the best geneticists of the USSR, starting with Vavilov. Our Vibegallo is exactly the same demagogue, ignorant and boorish, but he is far from his prototype!|Boris Strugatsky}}
