> does *not*, by the way, mean that scientific research is paralysed
That what I was just going to point out - various biases and flaws of scientific processes in different countries are well known.
I could talk for hours about how science if broken in Poland and Russia, but none of these actually prevents them from doing *some* good science.
These biases and flaws just prevent them from realizing their full potential but this is far away from how it worked in USSR.
