pavlov is simply great. he started the whole thing by creating the benchmark for any human research in xx'th century. his results are still valid (though we know and understand much more now). currently i am reading a wonderful pavlov's biography by his student babkin.
life of his ideas in soviet science is another story (and another one abour his western infulences). he was respected by authorities starting with lenin and had his own space for work independent from state. appropriation of his ideas were as usual done with a butchering knife and as u rightly said for political purposes. again, there is a lot of known and still hidden pieces of the puzzle.
