Description
We present to you the audiobook “White Coats”—a novel by Vladimir Dudintsev devoted to the period of “lysenkoism” in Soviet biological science, when genetics was declared an ideologically hostile movement, and the “official science” approved by the party leadership became the scientific views of the academic-agronomist Trofim Lysenko.
The main hero is a young biologist, Fyodor Dezkin, who arrives in a small town with an assignment to monitor the work of an agricultural institute in connection with information about the existence there of an underground organization of Weismannists-Morganists. Dezkin quickly understands that the truth is on the side of the disgraced scientists—and he joins their ranks. He makes his moral choice and, bravely facing tragic trials, remains faithful to the cause of his life.
Vladimir Dudintsev’s book is not only about fidelity to science. It is about devotion to one’s convictions and to one’s human duty, about honor and dignity, selflessness and self-sacrifice, about the search for truth and responsibility for choosing one’s own path.
The novel “White Coats” was published in 1986—thirty years after it was written—and immediately became a milestone in the history of modern Russian literature. In 1992, an eponymous multi-part television film was made based on the novel.
The performer of the role of Fyodor Dezkin, People’s Artist of the Russian Federation Valeriy Garkalin, has recorded for you a chapter from V. Dudintsev’s autobiographical story “Between Two Novels,” devoted to the history of writing “White Coats.”
