G.D. Lysenko is one of the first promoters of living and dead water

G.D. Lysenko

Poor health since childhood forced me to use medications. The grandmother with whom I lived did not recognize pharmaceutical pharmacology. Apparently, she passed on to me the belief in the limitless possibilities of traditional medicine, in the recipes of a natural pharmacy. I firmly decided to improve my health, strengthen myself, and became a career military man.

As a political worker, he became interested in psychology. Mastered the technique of hypnosis. While improving my knowledge of psychology, I became interested in psychotherapy. I didn’t forget herbal medicine. Despite annual sanatorium and hospital treatment, many diseases (rheumatism of the heart and joints, gastritis, atherosclerosis, prostate adenoma) did not leave me.

On February 25, 1993, my article “Living and Dead Water” appeared. After the article was published, I began to receive many letters. They write mainly from those who did not get rid of their ailments in the hospital. People also come to my home. People want to live. And those who come from all over the republic do not want to leave without water and activated carbon.

First of all, please take into account that Neither “living” nor “dead” water cures individual diseases. It heals the entire body as a whole. After all " “dead” water dissolves and removes salts, toxins, and all kinds of infection. And “live” normalizes acidity, blood pressure and metabolism.

Considering the anatomical structure of a person, I believe that the main thing in the body is the musculoskeletal system, and in it the spine. Based on this, I propose a 2-month course of treatment:

• 1st month. For 10 days, drink “living” and “dead” water every other day, 150 g, half an hour before meals;
  - apply a compress at night for osteochondrosis of the cervicothoracic region (place of compress: at the top - half of the neck, at the bottom - along the lower level of the shoulder blades, across the width - the shoulder joints).
  - Moisten a calico (linen) rag with the water you drink that day;
  — Drink only “living” water for 20 days.
• 2nd month. Also treat radiculitis for 10 days (place of compress: at the top - from the shoulder blades, at the bottom - include the tailbone, across the width - the hip joints); — Drink “living” water for 20 days.

  In the first month, the chest organs and atherosclerosis are cured. In the second - the organs of the genitourinary system, the gastrointestinal tract. You have finished treatment.

Now you can take care of disease prevention. Experience shows that this is no less important. Every morning, half an hour before breakfast, you need to drink 100 g of “dead” water. Rinse the nasopharynx thoroughly. After breakfast, rinse your mouth with “dead” water, then hold the “dead” water in your mouth for 15-20 minutes.

Half an hour before lunch and dinner, drink 150 g of “live” water. If you wake up at night, it is useful to drink 100 g of “dead” water. The use of “living” and “dead” water on oneself and other people made it possible to compile a table of procedures for treating various diseases. I was convinced in practice that this miracle water can replace many medications.

TABLE OF PROCEDURES

Diseases Order of procedures, results

• Prostate adenoma Every month for 20 days, half an hour before meals, take 150 g of “live” and “dead” water (every other day). Then drink “living” water for another 5 days. It is advisable to take additional “dead” water at night.

— While lying in the bath, massage the perineum of the shower.
- Massage with your finger through the perineum, very carefully.
— Enema of warm “living” water, 200 g.
— At night, put a compress on the perineum from “living” water, after washing with soap and moistening the perineum with “dead” water, allowing it to dry.
— When applying a compress, insert a candle made of peeled raw potatoes into the anus, after soaking it in “living” water.
- As a massage - cycling.
- Sunbathing.
— Regular sex life is useful, but during sexual intercourse do not regulate ejaculation.
— Eat more garlic, onions, and herbs.

After 3-4 months, mucus is released, the tumor is not felt. For the purpose of prevention, this course should be repeated periodically.

• Cracked heels and hands Wash your feet and hands with warm water and soap and let dry. Moisten with “dead” water and let dry. Apply a compress of “living” water overnight, scrape off the white coating from your feet in the morning and lubricate it with sunflower oil, let it absorb. In 3-4 days the heel will be healthy. Thoroughly disinfect shoes and slippers.
• Obliterating atherosclerosis of the arteries of the lower extremities Do everything as for cracked heels and hands, plus take 100 g of “dead” water half an hour before meals. This disease is accompanied by the fact that the skin on the soles of the feet dries out, and then due to the death of living cells, the skin thickens , then it cracks. If veins are visible, then you can put a compress on these places or at least moisten them with “dead” water, let them dry and moisten them with “living” water. Self-massage is also necessary. Cured in 6-10 days.
• Foot odor Wash your feet with warm water, wipe dry, then moisten with “dead” water, and after 10 minutes - with “live” water. Wipe the inside of the shoes with a swab moistened with “dead” water and dry. Wash socks, moisten with “dead” water and dry. For prevention, you can wet socks after washing (or new ones) with “dead” water and dry them.
• Purulent wounds First rinse the wound with “dead” water, and after 3-5 minutes - with “live” water. Then during the day, rinse 5-6 times only with “living” water. The wound dries up immediately and heals within two days. Inflammatory processes, closed wounds, boils, acne, stye. Apply a warm compress to the sore spot for two days. Before applying a compress, moisten the inflamed area with “dead” water and allow to dry. At night, take a quarter glass of “dead” water.
• Pierce boils (if not on the face) and squeeze out. Cures in 2-3 days.
• Facial hygiene In the morning and evening after washing, the face is wiped first with “dead” water, then with “living” water. Do the same after shaving. The skin becomes smooth, acne disappears.
• Swelling of the legs (Do not treat without consulting a doctor. This may be an active phase of rheumatism of the heart). Half an hour before meals, drink 150 g of “dead” water, and on the second day drink “live” water. Moisten the sore spots of the legs with “dead” water, and when dry, with “living” water.

Preservation of fruits Spray the fruits with “dead” water for four minutes and place in a container. Store at a temperature of 5-16 degrees.

  I CURED MYSELF - I TREAT OTHERS The experience of treatment convinced me of the need for preliminary preparation. I want to draw attention to the state of mind, emotions of the patient himself and the one who treats and helps him. I remembered lines from one letter: “It’s like the hostess - if she cooks food in a good mood, then the food will be good, but if she’s in a bad mood, with negative emotions, don’t expect good things, you can’t do without illnesses.” When taking water or performing any other procedure, always relax, becoming sensitive and permeable.

  Mentally accompany the effect of water and procedures in your body. Only then will the treatment benefit. If you do all this on the fly, without emotions, then everything will be in vain. I explain to the patient in the first conversation before treatment: - the cause of the disease or failure to recover is the lack of mental energy. It needs to be stocked up. How to do this is discussed further;

— we will treat not only the disease, but also the body as a whole;
— health depends on the psyche, skin, nutrition;
— it is very important not to allow immoral thoughts, and when they appear, turn to God with a prayer for forgiveness.

NUTRITION DURING RECOVERY

1st day.

• In the morning on an empty stomach, half an hour before meals, drink 50 grams of “living” water.
• Every day drink 100 grams of any juice (lemon, apple, carrot, beet, cabbage).
• Eat a few cloves of garlic and half an onion every day.
• Take 0.25 aspirin tablets three times a day after meals.
• Eat 10-15 grams of nuts (peanuts, walnuts) daily.
• Dinner: 100 grams of cottage cheese or cheese. After an hour, drink 50 grams of “living” water.

2nd day.

• If you feel good, repeat everything as on the first day. If you feel weak, have breakfast in the morning like this: pour 3 tablespoons of ground cereal an hour before meals with warm water, but not higher than 57 degrees. In an hour the porridge is ready.
• No lunch or dinner.
• The following days are like the second.

  My treatment usually consists of 10 sessions. In addition to water, massage is used for 1.5-2 hours from head to toes. Of course, I take into account the state of health.

TREATMENT OF PSORIASIS Reading the letters, I am once again convinced that the majority of those who want to be cured rely solely on water. She is truly omnipotent. But I want to show just one example how to treat psoriasis.

1. Drink 100 g of “living” water 30 minutes before meals.

2. Bath with nettle 10-15 minutes once a week, 4 times in total.

3. Massage: a) if in the upper part of the body - 2-4th thoracic vertebrae; b) if in the lower part of the body - 4-11th lumbar vertebrae; c) directly at the site of the lesion.

4. At night, massage your feet, then wipe them with vegetable oil, put on warm socks.

5. Sunbathing, dousing with salt water if there is no sea water.

6. A compress to the affected area using a spoonful of birch tar (I make it myself along the way when I prepare activated charcoal from birch), three tablespoons of fish oil. Mix everything thoroughly and spread on a cloth.

7. Nutrition: sprouted wheat, alfalfa. Eat more cabbage, carrots, yeast, drink sunflower oil. Limit the consumption of sweets, animal products, and alcohol.

“LIVING” AND “DEAD” WATER IN NATURE

The Gospel says: when Jesus Christ was crucified, on the second day Mary and Magdalsna brought LIVING water to him for healing... Does this mean that miraculous water existed even then? Yes, such water exists in nature.

The first time she comes is on Epiphany, January 19, from 0 o'clock to 3 am. But this is “dead” water. It should be collected, preferably from a source, in a glass container. This water has the ability to kill everything in the body that interferes with it. For the second time a year, water has healing powers on Kupala night from June 6 to 7, also from 0 to 3 o’clock.

Collect from the source into a glass container. This is “living” water. When you get sick, drink “dead” water, you will feel weak, but then drink “living” water - and you will feel better. On the night of Ivan Kupala, fire has a cleansing power. Many diseases disappear, especially gynecological ones. You need to jump over the fire three times if you take part in this folk festival.

CONCLUSION
Try to lead an active lifestyle! Believe me, this is the main medicine for achieving positive results in treatment.

A bedridden patient must move all the time. Move your whole body - arms, legs, fingers, eyes. If you can roll over, then this is already happiness. Turn over in bed more often. And if you can sit, then it’s a sin not to move, and you have to try to get up or at least crawl. Yes, yes, crawling, because this is movement. You are already able to do many exercises. A person who gets at least a little back on his feet should feel healthy. Always try to have some incentive to move.

Even a bedridden patient can find something to do: cut something, embroider. Don’t feel sorry for yourself, look for every opportunity to be active. Pensioners, sick people, if you can go outside, start collecting medicinal herbs.

You can do this not only for yourself, but also for other people. And the more good deeds you do, the healthier you will feel. Don't try to make money from herbs. Strive to promote them more.

It is very important to be happy more often. Rejoice in your movement, your smallest successes, the hour you have lived, the day you have lived. Celebrate the successes of others.

Don't judge anyone and don't envy anyone. Find opportunities to enjoy the diversity of people's personalities. When going out into nature, do not disdain and do not be afraid to eat leaves or flowers of dandelion and plantain. Make salads from them, especially from nettles and other greens.

Try to exclude meat products from your food, get rid of tobacco and alcohol, try to be calm - and healing will come to you.

I kindly ask everyone who will be treated using my brochure to report the results to me at the address: 231800 Grodno region, Slonim, st. Dovatora, 8a, apt. 46. ​​Lysenko Georgy Dmitrievich.

Agricultural Sciences

Trofim Denisovich Lysenko(* September 29, Karlovka, Poltava region, Ukraine, - November 20) - agronomist, figure in Michurin agrobiology of the USSR, academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR (), academician of the VASKhNIL (), academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences (), president of the VASKhNIL (1938- 1956, 1961-1962), deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR (1937-1966), Hero of Socialist Labor (), holder of eight Orders of Lenin, three times laureate of the Stalin Prize (,,).

1. Start of a career

2. Criticism of “formal” genetics

2.1. Theses on the possibility of inheritance of acquired characteristics, vegetative hybridization and the generation of other species

T. D. Lysenko argued that the properties of plants acquired during the process of “vernalization” or other methods of “education” can be inherited by subsequent generations, thus allowing breeders to significantly speed up the development of new valuable varieties. Supporters of classical genetics (whom Lysenko called "Weismannists" , "Mendelists" And "The Morganists") denied this possibility, but Lysenko preferred Lamarck's ideas: ?... in the dispute that broke out at the beginning of the 20th century between the Weismannists and the Lamarckists, the latter were closer to the truth, because they defended the interests of science, instead of the Weismannists they fell into mysticism and broke with science... We, representatives of the Soviet Michurinsky direction, we affirm that the inheritance of properties acquired by plants and animals in the process of their development is possible and necessary? .

Lysenko believed that in nature there is no intraspecific overpopulation and no intraspecific struggle, and existing biological species, under the influence of changes in environmental conditions, are capable of directly giving rise to other species.

Lysenko also considered vegetative hybridization possible and argued that the existence of such hybrids proves the falsity of “Mendelism-Morganism”: “I.V. Michurin and the Michurinites found means for the mass production of vegetative hybrids. Vegetative hybrids are convincing proof of the correctness of Michurin’s understanding of heredity. At the same time, they are an insurmountable obstacle to the theory of the Mendelian-Morganists.” .

2.2. An attempt to refute Mendel's laws

2.3. The transition of scientific discussion to the political plane

In the first half of the 1930s, Lysenko began to work closely with I.I. Present, who, without a special biological education, headed the department of Darwinism at Leningrad State University, and in the city became deputy editor-in-chief of Lysenko’s journal “vernalization.” I.I. Present developed an ideological and phraseological basis for Lysenko’s theory of the inheritance of acquired characteristics, “vegetative hybridization” and “generation of new species,” which made it possible to transfer a purely scientific discussion into the plane of ideological and political struggle. Classical genetics was accused of being not only divorced from practice, but also interfering with it.

Lysenko's scientific concepts also received support from the party leadership. In October, a meeting on genetics and selection issues took place in Moscow, at which a dispute unfolded between the “Lysenkoites” and their scientific opponents, known as the “discussion of 1939.” The ideological line of the party was represented by the editor-in-chief of the magazine “Under the Banner of Marxism” M. B. Mitin, who chaired this meeting. Mitin called Lysenko's ideas "advanced", "revolutionary" and "innovative", contrasting them with "conservative", "dogmatic" and "outdated" concepts, for which "reactionary elements in science are clinging" .

3.2. Protests by prominent Western biologists against “Lysenkoism”

In protest against the campaign of persecution of genetics, the famous American geneticist Herman Möller, Nobel Prize laureate, in September announced his refusal of the honorary title of foreign corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, calling Lysenko a “charlatan” and condemning the attempt "to create a politically oriented" science "separated from world science as a whole", similar to how it was done in Germany under Nazi rule. The party leadership instructed academicians A.I. to prepare a response on behalf of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Oparina, T.D. Lysenko, E.N. Pavlovsky, L. A. Orbeli, V. N. Sukachev. Meller was called “a traitor to the interests of genuine science, openly joining the camp of the enemies of progress and science, peace and democracy.” In November, the outstanding English biologist and Nobel laureate Henry Dale also refused the title of honorary member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, stating, in particular, that the communist government was forcibly introducing the dogmatic doctrine of T. D. Lysenko into the USSR, "actually denies all the achievements of researchers in this area since the time when Lamarck's reasoning was published at the beginning of the 19th century". In the USSR Academy of Sciences, Meller and Dale were deprived of honorary titles, and in the Soviet press Meller and other “American Mendelists” were proclaimed servants of racism and fascism, “fly-loving misanthropes”: "American Mendelians are unable to hide their blood relationship with Hitler's fanatical scientists, who covered themselves with shame in the eyes of all progressive humanity... Mendelian genetics, eugenics, racism and propaganda of imperialism are now inseparable " .

4. Criticism and gradual decline of the “Lysenko” direction of biology in the post-Stalin period

4.1. 1955: criticism of Lysenko in "Letter 300"

4.2. Late 1950s - early 1960s: continued political support for “Michurin science”

4.3. 1964: criticism of the “Lysenkoites” at a session of the USSR Academy of Sciences

4.4. Loss of political support and end of career

After the removal of N.S. Khrushchev from leadership positions in October, Lysenko finally lost political support. Already in November 1964, articles criticizing the activities of Lysenko and his supporters appeared in the newspapers Pravda and Komsomolskaya Pravda. At the beginning of 1965, the Department of General Biology of the USSR Academy of Sciences voted against the re-election of Lysenko to the post of director of the Institute of Genetics of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Pravda published a critical speech by M. V. Keldysh, and the popular magazine Science and Life published an article by Nobel laureate Academician M. Semenov , who stated that Lysenko belongs "not to the 20th century, but to the distant past of science". A commission of the USSR Academy of Sciences is checking the activities of the experimental farm "Gorki Leninskie" led by Lysenko and calling into question its achievements.

T. D. Lysenko died in

We are so accustomed to living in a world of patterns and stereotypes that we have forgotten how not only to think, but even to be interested in anything.

I’m not talking about everyone without exception (fortunately, there are exceptions!), but about the overwhelming majority, who with such unshakable conviction judge issues that they do not understand at all and know nothing about.

For example, ask anyone what they think about Vavilov And Lysenko? Not among young people, of course, to whom these names are completely unknown, but among older people, those who still remember “Ogonyok” of the late 80s and the film “White Clothes.” They will answer you that Vavilov was a geneticist, and Lysenko was a persecutor of genetics (whoever wants to show off his erudition will add that Lysenko was a “Michurinist”).

Meanwhile, this has nothing to do with the truth. This is just a stereotype, and a stupid, primitive one, designed to convey complete (not even partial, but complete!) ignorance of the subject.

The truth is that both were geneticists. Both Lysenko and Vavilov argued for the existence of the genome and the laws of heredity. Fundamentally, they differed only in one thing - the question of the heritability of acquired properties. Vavilov believed that acquired properties are not inherited and the genome remains unchanged throughout the history of its existence. In this he relied on the work of Weismann and Morgan (hence the “Weismann-Morganists”). Lysenko, on the contrary, argued that the genome can change, fixing acquired properties. In this he relied on Lamarck's neo-Darwinism.

Roughly speaking, if I succeed in the technical sciences or humanities through my labors and efforts, I have every chance of passing on these achievements in the form of a genetic inheritance to my son (daughter), and it doesn’t matter that my grandfather had no idea about these sciences.

Actually, the dispute between the “Weismannists” and the “neo-Darwinists” was purely academic. And this was not a dispute between genetics and antigenetics, but dispute between two directions in genetics. So there was no “persecution of genetics”! The Weismannists had troubles, yes, but not at all because they were geneticists, but for another reason: first, waste of public money, and then an attempt to attack their scientific opponents with the involvement of foreign colleagues (the conflict in the VASKhNIL was provoked precisely by them, through denunciations , study primary sources!).

Modern scientific research has fully confirmed the correctness of Lysenko and the fallacy of Vavilov’s views. Yes, the genome is changing! But the most interesting thing is that this had nothing to do with the fates of these two scientists.

Let me allow myself the smallest digression. Among the many modern, most modern and now classic works confirming the variability of the genome, I will cite only one paragraph and only for one reason: it is written L.A. Zhivotovsky, employee of the Institute of General Genetics named after. N.I. Vavilova (!) RAS.

“So, the only thing that remains on the issue under discussion is to call a spade a spade. Namely, J. Lamarck’s hypothesis about the inheritance of acquired characteristics is correct. A new trait may arise through the formation of protein/DNA/RNA regulatory complexes, modification of chromatin, or changes in the DNA of somatic cells and then be transmitted to offspring ... "(Zhivotovsky L.A. “Inheritance of acquired characteristics: Lamarck was right.” “Chemistry and Life”, 2003. No. 4. pp. 22-26).

So, geneticists working at the Institute named after. N.I. Vavilov, in fact, the “Vavilovites” confirm Lysenko’s rightness! What remains for them?

Of course, the range of interests and active work Lysenko was not limited to genetics. And of course, this is another reason to reproach him for being a dork. For example, for the introduction of the method of planting potatoes with the tops of tubers on March 22, 1943, T.D. Lysenko was awarded the Stalin Prize of the first degree.

If anyone doesn’t know: this means cutting the tuber into pieces, one eye for each, and using them as planting material instead of the whole tuber. You can go even further - use only the eye with a small fragment of the tuber - the top - for planting, and eat the rest of the potato.

“Trofim Lysenko took the risk of preparing these tops in the fall and eating the planting potatoes themselves during the winter, which was incredible - no one believed that the tops could be saved as planting material until spring. He also took the risk of sowing crops over the stubble. This method, which saves the soil from erosion, is still used both here on virgin lands and in Canada...”(Kiev Telegraph, 2010, November).

Fi, planting potatoes with tops, ha ha! But the date of the award says a lot about how this method helped save the country from hunger, helped feed the nation and ultimately win the war. From one tuber you can get one potato bush or five to ten bushes, plus saved potatoes, which truly became “second bread” during the Second World War, is there a difference? For armchair science, probably none. And during the war - big, huge!

“In 1936, Trofim Lysenko developed a method of minting (removing the tops of shoots) of cotton, and this agrotechnical technique, which increases cotton yield, is still used throughout the world. In 1939, he developed new agricultural technology for millet, which made it possible to increase the yield from 8-9 to 15 centners per hectare. In the pre-war years, he proposed using summer planting of potatoes in the southern regions of the Soviet Union to improve its varietal qualities. And its forest belts, which protected millions of hectares in the USSR from dry winds, and the use of natural enemies of agricultural pests instead of pesticides?..”(Kyiv Telegraph, 2010, November)

That is why on September 10, 1945, Lysenko was awarded the next Order of Lenin “for the successful completion of the government’s task during the war to provide the front and the country’s population with food.” Also nonsense, of course. And Lysenko has many such achievements, not just the Order of Lenin, but he had eight of them(!) (the same amount as A.N. Tupolev and S.V. Ilyushin), was not awarded just like that. Under Stalin, orders of Lenin were not simply awarded.

Word to the People's Commissar and Minister of Agriculture of the USSR I.A. Benediktov:

“...After all, it is a fact that on the basis of Lysenko’s work such varieties of agricultural crops as spring wheat “Lutents-1173”, “Odesskaya-13”, barley “Odessky-14”, cotton “Odessky-1” were created, a number of agrotechnical methods were developed , including vernalization, cotton minting. A devoted student of Lysenko, who highly revered him until the end of his days, was Pavel Panteleimonovich Lukyanenko, perhaps our most talented and prolific breeder, who has 15 zoned varieties of winter wheat, including the world-famous “Bezostaya-1”, “Aurora” ", "Caucasus"..."

The key words here are “may be interpreted” as sabotage. Conscious or unconscious is difficult to prove, the main thing is facts. Waste - sabotage! Here are the words of N.I. himself. Vavilov from the interrogation protocol:

“One of the main sabotage measures was the creation of an excessively large number of narrowly specialized, completely non-viable, scientific research institutes... divorced from direct agronomic work, this led to disorganization of scientific research work... to the scattering of already insufficient personnel and caused completely unnecessary large government expenditures..."(Protocol of interrogation of N.I. Vavilov on September 6, 1940)

All the fault of N.I. Vavilov was waste of huge public funds, including foreign exchange, which today, strictly speaking, is a crime. Another thing is that today they are not punished for this, they are not even deprived of bonuses. And in the difficult pre-war years, when every ruble counted, they questioned and punished.

But T.D. Lysenko spoke about this, repeatedly, persuaded, exhorted:

“I have repeatedly stated to Mendelian geneticists: let’s not argue, I won’t become a Mendelian anyway. It's not a matter of arguing, but let's work together according to a strictly scientifically developed plan. Let's take certain problems, receive orders from the People's Commissariat for Health of the USSR and carry them out scientifically. The paths for carrying out this or that practically important scientific work can be discussed, you can even argue about these paths, but arguing is not pointless...”(“Under the banner of Marxism”, No. 11, 1939)

Actually, Vavilov was quite normal "academic scientist", cut off from his country and his people. Perhaps this can be forgiven for an “academic scientist,” but this is not what he was allocated money for, and this is not what he promised, but the creation of new varieties. And he didn’t fulfill his promise, he squandered the money, which means he deliberately misled and deceived the state. And you won’t be jailed for this? Scold him and let him go? This is probably what Vavilov was counting on. But I couldn’t get away with it, I had to sit down.

Vavilov's trouble was the timing. In some 1970s, he would have received great prizes and titles. But in order to finance purely theoretical science, without practical return, requires exceptionally favorable conditions, few people can afford it. Of course, such conditions did not exist either in the 1930s or 1940s! But Vavilov pointedly ignored this fact, and he paid for it.

By the way, when this happened, everyone happily began to kick him, without in the least challenging the justice of the accusations. The people “in white robes” readily betrayed their comrade-in-arms and teacher. The only one who refused to participate in the condemnation campaign was... Lysenko! Testimony T.D. Lysenko:

“In response to the question asked, what do I know about the sabotage activities of N.I. Vavilov on the destruction of the seed collection at VIR, I answer: I know that Academician N.I. Vavilov collected this collection. I don’t know anything about the fact that he destroyed this collection...” Signature: Academician T.D. Lysenko. (From the investigation materials in the case of N.I. Vavilov)

From an interview with I.A. Benediktova:

“When Vavilov was arrested, his closest supporters and “friends,” shielding themselves, one after another began to confirm the investigator’s “sabotage” version. Lysenko, who by that time had disagreed with Vavilov on scientific positions, flatly refused to do this and confirmed his refusal in writing. But for aiding the “enemies of the people” at that time, people with a much higher position than Lysenko could have suffered, which he, of course, knew very well...”(Benediktov I.A. “About Stalin and Khrushchev.” Young Guard. 1989. No. 4.)

Well, what about the film based on Dudintsev’s book? "White Clothes"? The action takes place after the war in connection with the so-called “defeat of VASKHNIL and genetics.” Although, as we know, we can only talk about the defeat of the Weismannists, followers of N.I. Vavilov, but not geneticists and not VASKHNIL. Genetics in the USSR both developed and continued to develop, and no one decisively smashed her!

Word T.D. Lysenko:

“Approval of Academician. Serebrovsky that I deny the often observed facts of diversity of hybrid offspring in a 3:1 ratio is also incorrect. We don't deny this. We deny your position that this ratio cannot be manipulated. Based on the concept we are developing, it will be possible (and quite soon) to control fission..."(T.D. Lysenko “Agrobiology. Works on genetics, selection and seed production.” 6th edition. M.: Selkhozgiz, 1952. – p. 195.)

Thus, the work was carried out with the same notorious “Mendelian splitting”, the existence of which, according to Dudintsev, Lysenko allegedly denied! So genetics clearly has nothing to do with it. Here's a summary of what happened:

IN 1946-47 gg. Weismanists launched an attack against Lysenko, trying to remove him from the post of president of VASKHNIL. At first, their offensive, carried out with the involvement of the party apparatus and attempts to exert pressure by the foreign press, was successful. However, it ultimately failed. At the August session of VASKhNIL 1948, T.D. Lysenko and his group, supported by Stalin, defeated their opponents. Why I.V. Stalin supported Lysenko, of course. Because he knew very well that his work was beneficial to the country, and the Weismannists were useless.

“As a result of many years of work, Dubinin “enriched” science with the “discovery” that during the war, in the fly population of fruit flies in Voronezh and its environs, there was an increase in the percentage of flies with some chromosomal differences and a decrease in other fruit flies with other differences in chromosomes. Dubinin is not limited to the discoveries he made during the war, so “highly valuable” for theory and practice, he sets himself further tasks for the recovery period and writes: “It will be very interesting to study over the next few years the restoration of the karyotypic structure of the city’s population in connection with the restoration normal living conditions." (Movement in the hall. Laughter). This is the typical “contribution” of Morganists to science and practice before the war, during the war, and these are the prospects of Morganist “science” for the recovery period! (Applause)". (From the report of T.D. Lysenko at the session of the All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences in 1948)

All Conferences are open and completely free. We invite everyone who wakes up and is interested...

Trofim Denisovich Lysenko(1898 - 1976) - Soviet agronomist and biologist. Founder and largest representative of the pseudoscientific direction in biology - Michurin agrobiology, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1939), academician of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (1934), academician of the All-Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences (1935). Hero of Socialist Labor (1945). Winner of three Stalin Prizes of the first degree (1941, 1943, 1949). He was awarded eight Orders of Lenin, a gold medal named after. I. I. Mechnikov USSR Academy of Sciences (1950).

As an agronomist, Trofim Lysenko proposed and promoted a number of agrotechnical techniques (vernalization, cotton minting, summer planting of potatoes). Most of the methods proposed by Lysenko were criticized by scientists such as P. N. Konstantinov, A. A. Lyubishchev, P. I. Lisitsyn and others, even during the period of their widespread implementation in Soviet agriculture. Revealing the general shortcomings of Lysenko's theories and agronomic methods, his scientific opponents also condemned him for breaking with world science and economic practice. Some methods (such as, for example, the method of combating the beet weevil proposed by the Hungarian entomologist Yablonovsky) were known long before Lysenko, but did not live up to expectations or were outdated. Author of the theory of stage development of plants. The name of Lysenko is associated with a campaign of persecution against genetic scientists, as well as against his opponents who did not recognize “Michurin genetics”.

Life path and activities

Trofim Lysenko was born on September 17 (29), 1898 in a Ukrainian peasant family to Denis Nikanorovich and Oksana Fominichna Lysenko, in the village of Karlovka.

The family later welcomed two sons and a daughter.

Period of study

Lysenko did not learn to read or write until he was 13 years old. In 1913, after graduating from a two-year rural school, he entered the lower school of horticulture in Poltava. In 1917 he entered and in 1921 he graduated from the secondary school of horticulture in the city of Uman.

Lysenko’s period of study in Uman coincided with the First World War and the Civil War: the city was captured by Austro-Hungarian troops, then by the Central Ukrainian Rada. In February 1918, Soviet power was proclaimed in Uman, after which until 1920 the city periodically passed into the hands of the “red” and “white” armies.

In 1921, Lysenko was sent to Kiev for selection courses of Glavsakhar, then, in 1922, he entered the Kiev Agricultural Institute (now the National University of Bioresources and Natural Resources of Ukraine), to the correspondence department, from which he graduated with a degree in agronomy in 1925 . During his studies, he worked at the Belotserkovsk experimental station as a breeder of garden plants. In 1923, he published his first scientific works: “Techniques and methods of tomato selection at the Belotserkovskaya selection station” and “Grafting of sugar beets.” As Roll-Hansen writes, Lysenko did not speak a single foreign language.

In 1922-1925. Lysenko worked as a senior specialist at the Belotserkovskaya breeding station.

Early works

Work in Ganja (Azerbaijan)

In October 1925, Lysenko, having graduated from the Kiev Agricultural Institute, was sent to Azerbaijan, to a breeding station in the city of Ganja.

The Ganja breeding station was part of the staff of the All-Union Institute of Applied Botany and New Crops (VIPBiNK, later VIR), created in 1925, which was headed by N. I. Vavilov. The director of the station at that time was a specialist in mathematical statistics in agronomy N.F. Derevitsky. He set Lysenko the task of introducing legume crops (lupine, clover, china, vetch) into Azerbaijan, which could solve the problem of starvation of livestock in early spring, as well as increasing soil fertility when plowing these crops in the spring to green manure the soil "

On August 7, 1927, the Pravda newspaper published an article about Lysenko, where the following was said about his activities in Ganja:

Lysenko solves (and has solved) the problem of fertilizing the land without fertilizers and mineral fertilizers, greening the empty fields of Transcaucasia in winter, so that livestock does not die from meager food, and the Turkic peasant lives through the winter without trembling for tomorrow... The barefoot professor Lysenko now has followers, students , experimental field, the luminaries of agronomy come in winter, stand in front of the green fields of the station, gratefully shake his hand.

Here is what science historian David Joravsky (1970) writes about this period of Lysenko’s activity:

Session of VASKhNIL 1948 Confrontation with geneticists

On April 10, 1948, Yu. A. Zhdanov, who considered the complaints of scientists against Lysenko, made a report at the Polytechnic Museum at a seminar of regional party committee lecturers on the topic: “Controversial issues of modern Darwinism.” Lysenko himself listened to the critical speech of Yu. A. Zhdanov at the loudspeaker in another room, since he was denied a ticket to the report. Correspondence and a personal meeting between Lysenko and Stalin followed, who ordered the session to be held and personally made corrections to Lysenko’s report.

From July 31 to August 7, 1948, a Session of the All-Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences took place, at which most of the speakers supported the biological views of T. D. Lysenko, and pointed to the “practical successes” of the specialists of the “Michurin direction,” which can be easily explained by the fate of Lysenko’s previous opponents.

Due to Lysenko’s erroneous views on genetics (denial of Mendelian segregation, denial of immutable “genes”), as well as politicized statements addressed to opponents (for example, Morgan genetics was credited with justifying racism, eugenics, and also serving the interests of the militaristic bourgeois class), Lysenko’s critics subsequently viewed the session as a “debacle of genetics.”

As the historian of science Aleksey Kozhevnikov (1998) notes, the session took place according to the scenario of one of the “games of internal party democracy” that Stalin’s regime introduced into all spheres of life of Soviet society at that time, namely, according to the scenario of the game of “party congress”: 1) decision a representative collective body carried much more weight than an individual decision; 2) factions and opposition were allowed only until the final vote. 2) The Lysenkoites directly stated at the session that the discussion (another element of the game) ended in 1939, and now “formal geneticists” continue their useless factional struggle; Thus, “formal geneticists” were relegated to the category of “disloyal pests”, to whom administrative measures should be applied, not words. According to the rules of the game of "congress", after the final discussion and voting, the discussion ceased forever, and the only possible remaining options for the game were "discussion" of the decision made and "criticism/self-criticism". Repressive measures or other measures of persecution were applied to the “formal geneticists” who were transferred to the category of “disloyal pests”. (see also the section “Lysenko and the repression of biologists”)

“Letter of the Three Hundred”, end of career

On October 11, 1955, a “letter of three hundred” was sent to the Presidium of the CPSU Central Committee - a letter criticizing Lysenko’s activities, signed by 297 scientists, among whom were biologists (including surviving geneticists), physicists, mathematicians, chemists, geologists, etc.

Critics considered Lysenko's activities "bringing incalculable losses", citing as examples the work of a group of Lysenko's supporters on vegetative hybridization, "remaking the nature" of plants and nesting plantings, and denying the practical and scientific significance of these works.

Lysenko's critics paid special attention to his denial of the method of incubating plants, in particular corn, considering this method the greatest practical achievement of genetics and referring to the experience of American geneticists. Critics in this letter considered the method of intervarietal hybridization of corn recommended by Lysenko’s supporters to be outdated and discarded by US practice. Regarding corn they wrote:

As a result of the activities of T.D. Lysenko, we did not have hybrid corn, the income from the introduction of which, according to the Americans, fully covered all their costs for the manufacture of atomic bombs.

Critics called Lysenko’s theory of the “generation of species” “medieval, disgracing Soviet science.” They pointed out that as a result of the discussions of 1952-1955. This theory was completely rejected by USSR specialists.

Mathematicians and physicists, who wrote a separate letter, argued that Academician A. N. Kolmogorov’s attempt to establish the correct application of statistics in biology was rejected by Academician T. D. Lysenko.

N. S. Khrushchev, according to I. V. Kurchatov, was very indignant and spoke of the letter as “outrageous.” Kurchatov himself and the President of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Academician A.N. Nesmeyanov, were familiarized with the text of the letter and fully approved it, but could not sign it, since they were members of the CPSU Central Committee. However, Kurchatov supported the opinions and conclusions of scientists in a conversation with Khrushchev.

The rejection of scientists and many letters to the governing bodies ultimately led to Lysenko’s resignation from the post of president of the All-Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, but in 1961-1962. Lysenko was returned to this post on the personal initiative of N. S. Khrushchev.

T. D. Lysenko spoke out against us [the All-Union Institute of Grain Farming] in the newspaper Pravda: “We must finish sowing grain in Northern Kazakhstan by May 15, and not start at this time.” But we knew something else: in 1961, the infestation of wild oats in the Virgin Lands was more than 80%, because we usually sowed early and did not wait for the germination of wild oats, which occurred on May 15 in optimal springs.
- Director of the All-Union Institute of Grain Farming A. I. Baraev

After Khrushchev's resignation in 1965, Lysenko was removed from his post as director of the Institute of Genetics of the USSR Academy of Sciences, and the institute itself was transformed into the Institute of General Genetics of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

In 1966-1976, Lysenko worked as the head of the laboratory of the Experimental Research Base of the USSR Academy of Sciences "Gorki Leninskie".

He was buried at the Kuntsevo cemetery.

Lysenko and the repression of biologists

The name of T. D. Lysenko was mentioned by critics in connection with the repression of biologists during the reign of I. V. Stalin.

In confrontation with opponents, whom he and his supporters called “Weismannists-Mendelists-Morganists.” Lysenko's supporter Isaac Izrailevich Prezent used accusations from his opponents of ideological unreliability. At the 1948 VASKhNIL session, Prezent said:

We are encouraged to debate here. We will not discuss with the Morganists (applause), we will continue to expose them as representatives of a harmful and ideologically alien movement, brought to us from an alien foreign country, pseudoscientific in its essence. (Applause.)

At the Second Congress of Collective Farmers-Shock Workers, held in February 1935 (Pravda, February 15, 1935), Lysenko, speaking about the kulak and class enemy “at the front” of vernalization, argued:

And in the learned world and not in the learned world, the class enemy is always an enemy, whether he is a scientist or not.

Relationship between Lysenko and N.I. Vavilov

In 1931-1935, Vavilov to a certain extent supported Lysenko’s work, in particular, nominated him for the V.I. Lenin Prize for his work on vernalization. However, from 1936 he switched to sharp criticism of his views and practical activities.

After the arrest of the director of the Institute of Genetics, Academician Vavilov, in 1940, Lysenko was appointed director. Most sources consider Lysenko directly involved in the Vavilov case.

“Michurin Genetics” Lysenko

Lysenko and his supporters extolled the practical and theoretical achievements of I.V. Michurin, while not verbally denying the role of genetics. In 1939, Lysenko stated in his speech: “It is in vain that the Mendelian comrades claim that we profess the closure of genetics. ... genetics is necessary, and we are fighting for its development, for its flourishing". However, the unconditional support of Lysenko by the party leadership of the USSR, Lysenko’s direct use of the party apparatus to suppress any dissent led to the virtual defeat and, ultimately, the official prohibition of genetics in the USSR.

Denial of Mendel's laws

T. D. Lysenko had a skeptical and even negative attitude towards Mendel’s laws, pointing out the non-compliance with the 3:1 ratio in the experiments of G. Mendel himself. However, Lysenko's experiments were not accompanied by a thorough scientific analysis of the results, and their results were not reproducible. As for Mendel’s laws, they were confirmed by three independent groups of scientists back in 1900. Postgraduate student Lysenko N.I. Ermolaeva in 1939 published the article “Once again about the “pea laws””, where, using extensive statistical material when crossing pea plants, she unsuccessfully tried refute this pattern.

Lysenko published a critical response in which he considered Kolmogorov’s work “absolutely impeccable” from a formal mathematical point of view, but did not prove the conclusions of the “Mendelists” in essence. However, as stated above, Mendel's experiments were confirmed back in 1900 by three independent groups of scientists.

Explaining the difficulties in clarifying this pattern when observing the crossing of plants, A. N. Kolmogorov recognized the presence of a fairly high probability of distribution of 3:1 only in large samples (in the example with Ermolaeva’s tables - 12000 with a probability of 0.99). Lysenko, although with significant reservations, also recognized the possibility of observing this law on large amounts of source data.

On average, of course, it can and does happen (though not always) a ratio of 3:1. After all, the average ratio of three to one is obtained and is derived by geneticists (they do not hide this) from the law of probability, from the law of large numbers.

At the same time, Lysenko considered the influence of the external environment to be a significant factor that prevents Mendel's laws from manifesting themselves in actually observed plants (in particular, during intravarietal crossing of cereals), and believed that following this law would be an obstacle in his work to improve cereal seeds , which was a completely unscientific argument, unacceptable among scientists.

J. B. S. Haldane, in an article "Lysenko and Genetics", published in 1940 in the journal Science and Society, discussing this position of Lysenko, pointed out that the 3:1 ratio "is very rarely obtained with complete accuracy." He considered systematic deviations of this kind to be an instrument of natural selection, and “a fact of extreme biological importance.” However, Haldane, unlike Lysenko, did not consider these deviations to be a direct result of the influence of the external environment.

Almost everyone has heard about living and dead water. No, not the one from fairy tales, but from our real life. Although it does not have fabulous properties, those that it does have are enough for it to take root in every home.

How I experienced living and dead water myself

At the end of the last century (how does it sound, huh?) I made a device for obtaining living and dead water. Just out of curiosity, just in case. They said that the New Year tree stands on this water for a long time and does not fall off, and the wounds heal quickly, like in a fairy tale. Well, I decided to check it out. I made the device, but didn’t find a use for it then: it was far from the New Year, I was young and healthy, there was nothing to treat; and I forgot about him.

One day I had to go to a neighboring town in my Zhiguli. I arrived and the engine started to malfunction. I crawled under the hood to make repairs and severely burned my left palm in the area of ​​my thumb. A large white blister immediately swelled at the site of the burn.

About an hour later I returned home and remembered about the device that produced wonderful water. Prepared it quickly. I generously smeared the blister and the area around it with fresh dead water. When the hand was dry, I did the same thing twice using living water.

After this procedure, I did something, and the burn simply fell out of my memory. Already in the evening I caught myself thinking that something unpleasant had happened during the day, but there was no discomfort. Then I remembered about the burn and looked at my hand. There was no blister! The skin returned to its place and only its slightly whitish color indicated the site of the burn. Nothing hurt.

How I use living and dead water

In addition to healing burns and wounds, I use dead water as an aftershave lotion. There are no irritations or unpleasant sensations, the skin subjectively becomes more velvety or something. And it also seems to me that the stubble is growing a little slower.

Dead water is still the first remedy for caries. If you rinse your mouth with this water after every meal, then you won’t have to spend money on the orbit that everyone is given. Fact.

I sometimes use living and dead water to wash my hair. Or rather for rinsing or rubbing. If itching appears and hair begins to fall out, I immediately prepare water. After washing, I rinse my hair with dead water. After 10-20 minutes, when the sediment has settled, I rinse it with live water. After drying, the hair becomes voluminous and it seems that there is twice as much hair.

I tried to drink this water. But I didn’t notice any effect. Apparently I haven’t acquired the corresponding diseases yet :) But the Internet is full of recipes for a lot of diseases. The field for experimentation is vast.

Already, taking into account the above, a device for preparing living and dead water, I believe, is worth having in every family. You can make the device yourself or buy it. This is not a problem now.

My friends experimented with plants. The experience is positive, but not interesting to me yet. You can find everything you want on the Internet.

In the magazine “Inventor and Innovator” (sorry, I don’t remember the year and issue) I read an article by one smart, judging by the text of the article, candidate of technical sciences from Moscow about a miraculous cure for prostatitis.

The candidate described the electrochemical processes occurring in the prostate during inflammation and the treatment procedure. He specially made a device for himself, calculated everything and was cured.

G.D. Lysenko is one of the first promoters of living and dead water

One of the first propagandists of the living and the dead is G.D. Lysenko from the city of Slonim, in Belarus. He wrote one pamphlet and two books on this topic. I know him personally, I even organized his meeting with residents of my city. At almost seventy then, he looked quite dashing and noticed every pretty young skirt.

His books contain a lot of things for a healthy lifestyle. I don’t entirely agree with some things, but everyone will find something according to their faith. Read his books if you can find them: “Wonderful Water” (1997) and “Saving Water” (2001).

Next time I will talk about the intricacies of making the device yourself. You don't have to read any further.

What happens to water during electrolysis?

In conclusion, a little science from the book by G.D. Lysenko "Wonderful Water":

“During the electrolytic decomposition of water, the release of hydrogen and oxygen, the pH of the solution changes: the catholyte becomes alkaline (pH reaches 10-11), and the anolyte is acidified (pH up to 3-4).

Alkaline catholyte actively absorbs carbon dioxide from the air and carbonizes - soluble carbonates (and biocarbonates) of sodium and potassium appear in it, as well as insoluble carbonates of potassium and magnesium. The physiological effect of carbonate-bicarbonate waters is well known: millions of people drink mineral water.

When receiving living and dead water, mineral salts undergo inevitable electrochemical transformations. Chlorine ions, discharging at the anode, form elemental chlorine. It is released in the form of a gas, and, evaporating from the solution, partially dissolves to form the so-called active chlorine - a strong oxidizing agent that exists in different forms: in the form of dissolved molecular chlorine, in the form of products of its hydrolysis, for example, hypochlorous acid or hypochlorites.

The oxidizing properties of active chlorine solutions are well known; they have long been widely used for disinfection. Under certain conditions, other oxidizing agents can also form at the anode - percarbonates, persulfates, etc. Their concentration is not high, but they also have a disinfecting effect.

At the cathode, along with the release of hydrogen, oxygen reduction occurs, albeit to an insignificant extent - the water is constantly in contact with air. As a result, hydrogen peroxide is formed, which can be easily detected, for example, by a characteristic reaction with titanyl sulfate.

The composition of living and dead water strongly depends on the initial composition of natural water and on the electrolysis conditions: electrode materials, current density, temperature, process duration, electrolyzer geometry, etc. Therefore, it is impossible to predict in advance what will happen in each specific case. But in most cases, it is possible to explain what determines the “miraculous” effect of living and dead water.

If acidic soil requires liming, and it is watered with dead water, this most likely will not benefit the crop. If a purulent wound is treated with dead water containing active chlorine, the pathogenic microbes will die and the wound will heal. If you drink a certain amount of alkaline-carbonate living water during heartburn, the heartburn will stop. In principle, the mechanism for curing gastric diseases becomes clear - changing the pH of the environment and actively influencing the microflora.”
