SCIENTIFIC work in the Soviet Union is not less subject to the government's control than any other branch of cultural activity. There are several academies in the Soviet Union: Artillery, Architecture, Communal Economy, Medicine, Art; two academies of R. S. F. S. R. of Agriculture and of Pedagogy; and one of Social Sciences (obshchetvennykh nauk) of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, for preparation of theoreticians and propagandists of Communism. The most significant, however, in the field of science is the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R. As a government institution the Academy of Sciences is working in conformity with the general line of the Communist Party and the program of the Council of Ministers of the U.S.S.R. It assists the government in both its war and its peace policy. During World War II the Academy's contributions became very essential.
