  Ivan Vladimirovich Michurin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michurin studied the aspects of heredity in connection with the natural course of ontogenesis and external influence, creating a whole new concept of predominance.
Michurin also proposed means for overcoming the genetic barrier of incompatibility during the process of hybridization, such as pollination of the young hybrids during their first florescence, preliminary vegetative crossing, use of a “mediator”, pollination with the mix of different kinds of pollen etc.
Michurin was the one to start cultivation of his hybrids of grape, apricot, sweet cherry and other southern plants in the northern climates.

 P. N. Yakovlev: Preface. I. V. Michurin: Selected Works   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Michurin pointed out that if an improper method of training is used, we may obtain a complete wilding from the best hybrid of cultivated varieties, and, contrariwise, by applying the required methods of training we may obtain a good new variety from a hybrid seedling possessing undesirable qualities.
Michurin here for the first time propounded the theoretical principle that the nature of a variety begins to be formed from the very first days of the seed's development, and that during this period it can be most easily changed in the desired direction by the conditions of training.
Michurin considered as decision the role of the external conditions in the formation of the organism.

In 1923, the Council of People’s Commissars recognized Michurin’s “fruit garden” as an institution of state importance and a selectionist genetic station was modelled on it.
Michurin made a major contribution in genetics, especially in pomology; he researched cell structure and experimented with artificial polyploidy, studied the aspects of heredity in connection with the natural course of ontogenesis and external influence, creating a whole new concept of predominance.
During the Lysenkoism campaign, Michurin was wrongly promoted, as a Soviet leader in theory of evolution, in an opposition to genetics.

Ivan 1 moved everything into the Kremlin and it was Ivan 4 who revived the monastery in 1560.

 Lysenkoism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In a broader context, Lysenkoism is often invoked to imply the overt subversion of science by political forces.
Academic geneticists could not hope to provide such simple and immediately tangible results with their work, and so were seen as being politically less useful than the charlatanism of Lysenko.
He was a proponent of the ideas of Ivan Michurin, and practiced a form of Lamarckism, insisting on the change in species among plants through hybridization and grafting, as well as a variety of other non-genetic techniques.

 [No title]
Alexander Dovzhenko's first color film and last completed feature (1948, 103 min.) was based on his play Life in Bloom, a biography (verging on hagiography) of the celebrated Russian botanist Ivan Michurin.
Both the play and its screen adaptation attracted the interest of Joseph Stalin, who dictated various revisions; in fact Dovzhenko may have removed his name from the film in protest, as the credits list his wife, Julia Solntseva, as director and identify him only as the producer and screenwriter.
Certain characteristic touches show up here and there--some signature landscapes, a powerful passage evoking John Ford that shows Michurin's grief over his wife's death--but generally this is a feel-good Stalinist biopic.

Etched against this monumental project is a story of a country lad's progress from a peasant hut to a workers' school, but as in Dovzhenko's other films IVAN seeks to address the danger and effects of a disrupted natural harmony.
After the Bolshevik victory, however, Michurin's career is an ever-rising crescendo of successes, culminating in his doctrine's acceptance as the "sole correct line in the biological sciences."
