Alexander Sergeevich Serebrovsky
Alexander Sergeevich Serebrovsky (18 February 1892 – 26 June 1948) was a Russian geneticist, poultry breeder, and eugenicist. He was among the founding figures of genetics within the early days of the Soviet Union and held a high status within the communist party but when Soviet genetics entered a power struggle, he was targeted for his ideas in eugenics which led to the sidelining of his career although he was not executed like several other geneticists during the purges under Stalin. Serebrovsky is credited with defining the term "genofond" from which the English term gene pool is derived. He was also the pioneer of the theory on which the sterile male technique of pest management is based.
