I love this, I love Nikolai Vavilov, and I love the holiday concept—I’m going to have to think about doing something similar to commemorate him and his colleagues. I really liked the book The Murder of Nikolai Vavilov by Peter Pringle and recommend it, it’s info-dense and well-written. (I haven’t intentionally fact-checked it or anything but I did a big research dive into him a few years ago and I don’t remember it obviously not holding up against other sources.)
