All will be fine as long as ideological purity is held. Not to mention:Proponents falsely claimed to have discovered, among many other things, that rye could transform into wheat and wheat into barley, that weeds are spontaneously transmuting into food grains, and that 'natural cooperation' was observed in nature as opposed to 'natural selection'.Lysenkoism promised extraordinary advances in breeding and agriculture that never came about.
The campaign was supported by Joseph Stalin. More than 3,000 mainstream biologists were sent to prison or fired or executed as a part of this campaign instigated by Lysenko to suppress his scientific opponents. The president of the Agriculture Academy was sent to prison and died there, while the scientific research in the field of genetics was effectively destroyed until the death of Stalin in 1953

As to the video and story I am holding my judgement. While it appears on the surface that the women was legally in her rights, there is always also a moral question.
If the story comes out that the kid was just trying to leave with his ill gotten goods I don't think that is a reason to take some one's life. If on the other hand she stopped him and there was a confrontation and she feared for her life, then good on her.
Any how the friends or family of the dead kid are not doing their community any favors with their rationing of his crimes.

I do feel pity for the kid's parents. Burglary in the grand scheme of things is not that big of a deal. This was a 17 year old kid, his ability at risk assessment could not have been that good. Having kids of my own I don't know if I could even handle one of them dying.
