i read a very interesting book on this some years ago, i have my notes 
around somewhere. "Einstein and Soviet Ideology" by Alexander Vucinich:

   http://books.google.com/books?id=f_-lAYZzP1UC&pg=PR7

tho Vucinich struck me as almost rabidly anti-communist or at least 
anti-stalin, to me his book portrayed a soviet scientific system that 
effectively resisted Stalin's machinations and flourished in spite of 
imprisonments and all that.

highly recommended for a view of science in the soviet union in a 
critical period.
