The most famous Soviet scientist was probably Lysenko. Good track record, that. He'd get along quite well with Dasa.

What does Mendeleev's his death have to do with anything? He made very important advances in chemistry.

Don't forget Konstantin Mereschkowski, he proposed the theory of symbiogenesis that is widely accepted today.

If he died in 1907 then he clearly wasn't Soviet.

Regardless, there were obviously many prominent Soviet scientists until Soviet science went into decline in the late 70s.

I wonder what led the Soviets to doggedly pursue the multiple small rocket theme that led to the end of their moon program. NASA pursued the idea of smaller numbers of large rockets that won the day but the Soviet manned moon program floundered on those rockets that proved to be uncontrollable en mass.
