The Soviet Union claimed that the creation of the Warsaw Pact was in direct response to the inclusion of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) in NATO in 1955.
The Soviet Union was unable to conceal the fact that the alliance served as the ultimate mechanism for its control of Eastern Europe.
The Soviet Union resorted to occasional propaganda offensives, accusing West Germany of revanchism and aggressive intentions in Eastern Europe, to remind its allies of their ultimate dependence on Soviet protection and to reinforce the Warsaw Pact's cohesion against the attraction of good relations with the West.

 Suppressed research in the Soviet Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Research in the Soviet Union in science and humanities was placed from the very beginning under a strict ideological scrutiny, together with art, literature, education and all other domains of human culture.
At different moments in Soviet history a number of research areas were declared "bourgeois pseudosciences", on ideological grounds, the most notable and harmful cases being these of genetics and cybernetics.
Soviet pedology was a combination of pedagogy and psychology of human development, that heavily relied on various tests.

 Soviet Union - RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND PRODUCTION ORGANIZATIONS
In addition to their categorization according to the research, development, and production phase in which they were most involved, these facilities were characterized according to their organizational affiliation: industrial ministries, university and higher education, or the Academy of Sciences system.
The network also included the separate academies of sciences in each of the fifteen union republics of the Soviet Union (except the Russian Republic, which was represented by the allunion academy) and regional divisions, the most prominent of which has been the Siberian Division.
Soviet scientists and governmental officials have debated the precise role of the Academy of Sciences in the development of science and technology since the inception of the Soviet state.

 Science and technology in the Soviet Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Soviet Union, science and technology served as an important part of national politics, practices, and identity.
Soviet technology was most highly developed in the fields of nuclear physics, where the arms race with the West convinced policy makers to set aside sufficient resources for research.
Space exploration was also highly developed: in October 1957 the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, into orbit; in April 1961 a Russian cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin, became the first man in space.

Soviet long-distance telepathy experiments are a matter of record; we may assume that the "reinforcement" or "mind amplification" by hypnosis or drugs, of telepathic senders (inducers) and receivers had been attempted in all types of telepathy tests.
Research on the problems of extrasensory perception has been in the hands of a few very workers and has not been directed to the purpose here in mind, or to any practical application whatever.

 Biography: Sergei Kruschev
As a Senior Fellow at the Watson Institute for International Studies, Dr. Krushchev focuses his research on the Former Soviet Union's transition form a centralized to a decentralized society, as well as its transformation from a central to a market economy and its international security during this transition.
He is also interested in the history of the Cold War and the turning points in the relations between the US and the Soviet Union in the Krushchev, Eisenhower, and Kennedy periods.
In the Soviet Union, he received the Lenin Prize for his research, the prize of the Council of Ministers, the title "Hero of Socialist Labor," several awards for achievements in space and computer research, and six awards from the Soviet Union Engineering Society.

 U.S. Civilian Research and Development Foundation for the Independent States of the former Soviet Union
CRDF is a private, nonprofit foundation created in August 1995 by the National Science Foundation in response to the dramatic decline of resources for science and engineering research in the former Soviet Union.
All research activities funded by CRDF must be carried out in a civilian environment and directed toward non-defense uses.
The premise of the Closed Cities program is that civilian research opportunities won't materialize for scientists in these closed cities until, through international collaborations, they are exposed to industry and better understand some of the markets that may exist for their skills.

 Philosophy in the Soviet Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Philosophical research in the Soviet Union was officially confined to Marxist-Leninist thinking, which theoretically was the basis of objective and ultimate philosophical truth.
Following the 1917 October Revolution, Soviet philosophy divided itself between "dialecticians" (Deborin) and "mechanists" (Bukharin, who would detail Stalin's thesis upheld in 1924 concerning "socialism in one country"), was not a "mechanist," per se, but was seen as an ally of them.
Henceforth, the possibilities for philosophical research independent of official dogmatics virtually vanished, while lysenkoism was enforced in the scientific fields (in 1948, genetics were declared a "bourgeois pseudoscience").

 History of Science Society | HSSOnline.org
One Soviet contribution to historiography--nor in fact itself on the history of Russian or Soviet science--caused a great controversy over methodology and interpretation in the field as a whole.
In 1931, at the Second International Conference of the History of Science in London, the Soviet physicist and historian Boris Hessen presented a paper on Isaac Newton that is often considered the most influential paper in the externalist interpretation of the history of science.
Although not on Soviet science, his paper must be seen in the context of Soviet events that fundamenrally affected its form and substance.

Because of the rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union in international relations, a competition necessarily involving science and technology, a large literature exists on science and technology policy in the Soviet Union.

In 1976 researchers reproduced the effects of weightlessness by having subjects lie with their feet slightly elevated, and concluded that a regien of exercise in space would steel travelers for the rigors of re-adapting to life with gravity.

Soviet efforts to harness telepathy (mind-to-mind communication), telekinesis (better known as psychokinesis, the influence of the human mind on matter), or any other psychic ability, needed to overcome strong ideological objections from Marxist theoreticians.
The tests showed that when one group of cells was contaminated with a virus, the adjacent group - although separated by quartz glass - "caught the disease." When regular glass was used to separate the two cell groups, the non-contaminated cells remained healthy.
In order to widen the geographic scope of bio-electronic research, Popov institutes in Leningrad, Kiev, Alma Ata, Kishinev, Taganrog, Minsk, and Tallin were urged to establish similar laboratories and engage psychics for experiments.
