Abstract

The USSR Human Genome Project is an intrinsic part of genetic research that still has to recover from the hard ordeal of the past. The imperious influence of Trofim Lysenko and his concepts inhibited the progress of genetics, which had been developing quite successfully before him, and suppressed and often physically destroyed many of our outstanding scientists. Human genome studies were discussed for the first time at a general meeting of the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1988. As early as December 1988, the USSR Council of Ministers adopted a resolution on the creation of a Human Genome Project, which since 1989 exists in the USSR as one of the national projects.
