Cybernetics in the Soviet Union

Cybernetics in the Soviet Union expressed its own particular characteristics, as the study of cybernetics, the transdisciplinary study of circular causal feedback within systems, came into contact with the dominant scientific ideologies of the Soviet Union and the nation's economic and political reforms. As the influence of these factors evolved, so too did Soviet attitudes of cybernetics; from the unmitigated anti-Americanist criticism of cybernetics in the early 1950s, its legitimization after Stalin's death and up to 1961, its total saturation of Soviet academia in the 1960s, and finally its eventual decline through the 1970s and 1980s.
