Erm... if I were you, I'd check your dates. Mendeleev died in 1907.
The most famous Soviet scientist was probably Lysenko. Good track record, that. He'd get along quite well with Dasa.

Don't forget Konstantin Mereschkowski, he proposed the theory of symbiogenesis that is widely accepted today.
Originally posted by KazetNagorraI wonder what led the Soviets to doggedly pursue the multiple small rocket theme that led to the end of their moon program. NASA pursued the idea of smaller numbers of large rockets that won the day but the Soviet manned moon program floundered on those rockets that proved to be uncontrollable en mass.

Regardless, there were obviously many prominent Soviet scientists until Soviet science went into decline in the late 70s.
