    Th. Dobzhansky and the development of evolutionary biology in the USSR.Mikhail B. Konashev - 2019 - History of Science 57 (3):346-371.
    Th. Dobzhansky played a special role in the reception and development of the “synthetic theory of evolution,” as well as in the establishment of scientific connections between Soviet and U.S. evolutionists, and first and foremost, geneticists. These connections greatly influenced the development of Soviet genetics, of evolutionary theory and evolutionary biology as a whole, and in particular the restoration of Soviet genetics in the late 1960s. A discussion of Dobzhansky’s correspondence and collaboration with colleagues in his native country, moreover, allows (...)

    The Russian Backdrop to Dobzhansky’s Genetics and the Origin of Species.Mikhail B. Konashev - 2023 - Journal of the History of Biology 56 (2):285-307.

    The discovery of Gramicidin S: the Intellectual Transformation of G.F. Gause from Biologist to Researcher of Antibiotics and on its Meaning for the Fate of Russian Genetics.Yasha M. Gall & Mikhail B. Konashev - 2001 - History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences 23 (1):137 - 150.
    The discovery of Gramicidin S is considered to be the outcome of the intellectual transformation of Russian biologist G.F. Gause from simply a biologist to a researcher of antibiotics. Different historical conditions of this change as well as the development of experimental biology itself at this time are analysed in detail. The meaning of Gause's occupation of a new 'niche' in soviet science for the fate of Russian post-war genetics is defined as well.
