The censorship of science in the Soviet Union affected scientific research in various fields. All humanities and social sciences were additionally tested for strict accordance with historical materialism. These tests were alleged to serve as a cover for political suppression of scientists who engaged in research labeled as "idealistic" or "bourgeois".
In several cases, the consequences of ideological influences were dramatic. The suppression of research began during the Stalin era and continued after his regime.
Certain scientific fields in the Soviet Union were suppressed primarily after being labeled as ideologically suspect.
