> Sergei Korolev, the literal architect of the Soviet space program, was sent to the Gulag, where he lost his teeth to scurvy and survived a broken jaw

That's just a scary tale, that was created long after he died.

> Trofim Lysenko’s fraudulent agricultural theories were deemed "more communist."

Not exactly. His "fraudulent" theories delivered real value, and saved millions of people from starving. But he didn't belong to fancy scientific establishment (which traveled to conferences abroad while studying things with no impact to the people). He was a regular man, with experience working on land and with an aim for a practical results. He was not from "the club". So said establishment hated him and seized the first opportunity to attack him. Said establishment in all forms and shapes still hates him and other talented outsiders.

Discussion between Trofim Lysenko and his challengers actually public - you can read it yourself, not distorted conclusion-ready version presented by his haters.

I'm not saying you are wrong on all counts, but at least with those two examples you seem to just follow the usual narrative.

Oh my, we have an actual Stalinist here.
