Nikolai Dubinin, Russian geneticist

Nikolai Petrovich Dubinin (1907-1998), Russian geneticist, examining microscope slides in a laboratory. Dubinin was one of the founding members of the Cytology and Genetics Insitute within the USSR Academy of Sciences, directing the Institute from 1957-59. Together with Belyaev, Dubinin worked to restore the science of genetics in the USSR after it had been declared a banned pseudoscience in the 1940s under the influence of Trofim Lysenko and Communist politics.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed Russian geneticist, Nikolai Petrovich Dubinin, engrossed in his work at a laboratory in Moscow, Russia. Taken in 1980, this historical image showcases an elderly Dubinin examining microscope slides with great precision and dedication. Dubinin played a pivotal role as one of the founding members of the Cytology and Genetics Institute within the USSR Academy of Sciences. His leadership from 1957 to 1959 was instrumental in restoring genetics as a legitimate science in the Soviet Union after it had been unjustly declared a banned pseudoscience during the 1940s under Trofim Lysenko's influence and Communist politics. As a renowned biologist and researcher, Dubinin's contributions to genetics were invaluable. Alongside Belyaev, he tirelessly worked towards advancing scientific knowledge despite facing significant obstacles imposed by political ideologies. In this portrait, we see an aged yet determined man who has dedicated his life to unraveling the mysteries of biology. With his expertise in microscopy and deep understanding of genetic principles, Dubinin exemplifies resilience and passion for scientific discovery. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of both Dubinin's personal journey through history as well as his immense contribution to the field of genetics. It stands testament to his unwavering commitment to truth-seeking amidst challenging circumstances that shaped not only Soviet genetics but also our understanding of biological sciences worldwide.
