The saga of formal and complex ways of sericulture genetics (in an almost free style)

Boris Lvovich Astaurov, an outstanding biologist and geneticist of the 20th century, wrote an article “The Saga of formal and complex ways of sericulture genetics (in an almost free style)” in 1973 as an afterword to an article about the scientific work of geneticist N.K. Belyaev, but it was not published. Her typewritten version has been kept in the scientist’s archive. For the first time, the journal “Priroda” publishes the full version of this work with a scientific commentary.
