Slight Thaw. Rumanian foreign policy favors Soviet-style peaceful coexistence, but Dej himself was as much a Stalinist as Mao. A onetime shoemaker's apprentice, he used Stalin's backing to oust Ana Pauker, the Communist Amazon, in 1952. His regime, despite some slight thawing, maintains just about the greyest, grimmest police state in Europe. Not until last year were 10,000 of his 12,000 political prisoners released...

...When Stalin died and was replaced by Khrushchev, Lysenko lost his absolute power. He was fired as president of the Soviet Academy of Agricultural Sciences as an increasing number of critics dared to oppose his views. Still, Lysenko had startling survivability. Even though Khrushchev was a great admirer of hybrid corn, the most conspicuous practical triumph of orthodox genetics, he did not cut Lysenko down entirely.
