Soviet physicist Pyotr Kapitsa, an expert on low-temperature gases, was arrested in 1946 and interned in the Gulag.
When, some time later, he was suddenly transferred to a Soviet research institute, inquiring minds at the CIA wanted to know why.
Kapitsa, it seemed, had been working on another project which the CIA had somehow failed to notice - one which proved to be a major embarrassment to America throughout the 1950s.

Kapitsa’s statement in Pravda did not pass him by.
Obviously, it was precisely because of this that the legend was born that, in October 1942, Stalin summoned these four academicians to his dacha in Kuntsevo for consultations about the problem of the atomic bomb.
Amongst the academicians, the most senior were Abram Joffe, Vitali Khlopin and Pyotr Kapitsa, who, as directors of institutes, already led collectives of scientists.

Khenkin believed that Fischer played an important role in convincing the hesitant Kapitsa to return to the Soviet Union, where his passport was seized and he was detained (although he received exceptional treatment and a special institute was build for him).
Kapitsa confirmed this story in the memoirs of Andrei Saharov, even recollecting Fischer's real name.
In 1938 Fischer was sent to Chernovtsy, near the border between Bukovina, Galicia, and Polish territory occupied by the Germans to finalise contacts with agents recruited from German, Polish, and Ukrainian ethnic minorities.

However, mainstream scientists were now given the ability to criticize Lysenko for the first time since the late 1920s.
In 1962 three of the most prominent Soviet physicists, Yakov Borisovich Zel'dovich, Vitaly Ginzburg, and Pyotr Kapitsa, set out the case against Lysenko, his false science and his policy of political extermination of scientific opponents.
This happened as a part of a greater trend of combatting the ideological influence that had held such sway in Soviet society and science.
