Marxism and Problems of Linguistics
Stalin wrote Marxism and Problems in Linguistics in 1950. Stalin pointed out, contrary to the theories of NY Marr, that language is not part of the superstructure, because it is not used by a single class, but is common to the whole society.
Stalin then affirmed the freedom of science to develop in pursuit of the truth, against the existing tyranny of Meshchaninov, a student of Marr. He accused Meshchaninov of setting up an Arakcheyevshchina - Arakcheyev regime, a reference to a Russian Tsarist general notorious for reactionary repression and censorship.
This work disproves the myth that Stalin imposed Lysenkoism by force.
