So many downvotes but no explanation.

This story is important from both a historical as well as philosophical standpoint. Historical, so as to understand what those in the STEM field endured in the Soviet Union. Philosophical, in that there are those who thirst for knowledge and may not have the luxury others do of unlimited information (for a variety of reasons, whether that be logistical or political).

I hope this helps! Knowing history helps us prevent repeating it. Think of growing wiser as hacking yourself ;)
