Abstract
A FTER the Bolshevist revolution in 1917, Russian men of science adopted two courses of action. Those who engaged in active or passive opposition to the Soviet regime emigrated or were shot, and some were deported abroad by the government, so that there are now about 500 Russian scientific workers outside the borders of Russia. Others took up a strictly non-political attitude and decided to remain at their posts to safeguard and carry on Russian science. All teaching of moral sciences was abolished or “adapted to communist principles.” Those professors who refused to comply were dismissed, and some died of starvation in spite of the existence of a government commission for improving the conditions of scientific workers, some of whom received extra food rations.
