Thank you for inspiration: https://peakd.com/hive-114345/@unlear.communism/solzhenitsyn-about-vavilov-modern-christ

Just a perfect story for Easter. Maybe there was no real Christ, but the story is still real. Story about virtuous man willing to sacrifice for the truth and salvation - only to be ridiculed and crucified by those same people he wanted to save.

As I'm a biologist, every time Solzhenitsyn was mentioning Vavilov, my focus would would be high to the point of saturation, because I knew the story. I knew what was done to him.
