Communist propaganda in the Soviet Union was extensively based on the Marxism-Leninism ideology to promote the Communist Party line. In societies with pervasive censorship, the propaganda was omnipresent and very efficient. It penetrated even social and natural sciences giving rise to various pseudo-scientific theories like Lysenkoism, whereas fields of real knowledge, as genetics, cybernetics, and comparative linguistics were condemned and forbidden as "bourgeois pseudoscience". With "truths repressed, falsehoods in every field were incessantly rubbed in print, at endless meetings, in school, in mass demonstrations, on the radio". The main Soviet censorship body, Glavlit, was employed not only to eliminate any undesirable printed materials, but also "to ensure that the correct ideological spin was put on every published item". Telling anything against the "Party line" was punished by imprisonment or through punitive psychiatry. "Today a man only talks freely to his wife - at night, with the blankets pulled over his head", said writer Isaac Babel privately to a trusted friend.

Evolution tells us that, biologically, we can chnage characteristics to suit our environment and overcome adverse habitats. In relation to evolutionary psychology this would indicate that the mind also adapts to its environment and can ultimately change. Also, if we did evolve from chimps then how did the mind come into being? what sort of adverse environmet would lead to the evolution of such a complex, and seemingly uneccessary application? Evolutionary psychology is needed to answer these questions and to discover whether the rest of the animal kingdom has a mind.

ANSWER Evolution suggests that traits leading to survival and successful reproduction should over time outnumber and overwhelm other less useful traits. This is expressed physically in things like effective immune systems, manual dexterity, or physical size, speed, and strength. Some psychological traits (or instincts, or "inclinations") that would encourage survival and successful reproduction and the furthest continuation of one's own genes might be lack of sexual attraction to siblings, preference for young, strong, healthy mates, or a sense of camaraderie to defend your family group against outsiders, and human proclivity towards nurturing their young for many years.

The first answer sounds shaped by Lysenkoism evolutionary theory, where the will to adapt to the environment effects genetic expression. Essentially, it's like a plucked chicken laying eggs that hatch featherless birds. That theory was proven unsound and caused and exacerbation of the Soviet Union's agricultural crisis in the 1930's.

Propaganda played a crucial role in the Bolshevik success by helping to shape public opinion, mobilize support for the party, and demonize their political opponents. Through newspapers, posters, rallies, and speeches, the Bolsheviks were able to spread their message effectively and frame themselves as the party that could bring about change and address the grievances of the working class. This contributed to their rise to power during the October Revolution in 1917.
