Huh, that's nice to know. I only knew him before as the thug dictator who killed millions of his own people.
Great the 2nd greatest mass murderer in history wrote a book and I should care why?

And you have Winston Churchill quotes in your sig. Are you trying to claim some sort of moral superiority here?
Wasn't Stalin the one who said something like that if he wanted to punish a country he would take it over and let the intellectuals run it, or something along those lines?
It is a good quote whoever said it but I cannot source it right off the bat.
Huh, I thought this was another "tovarisch" thread starter. Was wondering what happened to that faux russian advocate.
In any case, who cares about Stalin's literary accomplishments, meagre as they are. His faults overshadow them.
Someone else ask if I was tovarisch, I said no. I looked his threads up, I was insulted.
I would disagree. The west seems to disregard USSR science. I made another thread about. But I was removed.
Not true. For example we owe Russia for eye correction operations. They came from there to the USA, and we ran with that idea, but you did it succesfully first. We also respect the fact that Russia was the first into space, which compelled us to put the first man on the moon.
Have no fear, we greatly respect Russia and all it's achievements.

I don't think thats fair, the U.S did similar things. The understanding of Language is important for humans. Why you may ask, because it can to lead answers in other fields.
Oh and to answer your question from the other thread. I meant social significance as having a positive outcome, I don't consider science within military as a positive outcome.
Did Winston Churchill Murder 20 million people?

Nuclear weapons led to nuclear power a positive outcome. Often military advancements lead to general advancements in society.
Two things that the U.S has trouble accepting is Characteristics of acquired traits, Which is just now being looked at (look at the second part of the op). Abiogenesis which Oparin successful proved that the chemicals gelatin and gum arabic can spontaneously structure themselves into coacervates, which resemble organic chemicals that could have possible create life, without invoking natural selection or random variation. This is why I posted studies showing lamarckian characteristics.
Marxism is still not accepted in the U.S. Which has influenced and embedded The science in the USSR.
No, but neither did Stalin.
One can have a discussion about the numbers (very difficult to quantify exactly) but Stalin did murder many millions of people. Only Mao surpassed him as a mass murderer.
I don't think you fully understand the events that occurred back then. It's not that simple.
no, but he didn't have the forces to do it. When he did have the forces to do it, he wasted no time slaughtering the French who had not fired on the UK at Mers-el-Kébir just because they did not immediately yield to his commands.
Example:
Michael Faraday was ask to help create chemicals weapons for the Crimean War. He refuse due citing ethical reasons
Michael Faraday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This the same reason why I don'r consider the Nuclear bombs or any military technologies a positive aspect. Ethically reasons...
