| Sumario: | The article argues on a ban on quantum mechanics in the Soviet Union in 1947. The orthodox interpretation of quantum mechanics was banned in the Soviet Union in 1947, an episode usually glossed as another illustration of repressive Soviet science. The roots of this ban should be located at a much deeper level, in a tension existing between the "postmodern" form of orthodox quantum mechanics and an ideology of modernization. In the West, a similar ideological tension had a different result of diffusion of principles of modernization with the potential areas of conflict. |
