Abstract: The article presents biographical data of the Soviet entomologist Vladimir Ivanovich Talitskii (born 1906, Russian Empire – died 199?, Republic of Moldova), settled in the Moldavian SSR since 1945. By researching the file in the archive of the Ministry of Agriculture, it is suspected that the scholar’s professional training was at a college in Leningrad; the doctorate in biology from Odessa and the activity in the Ukrainian SSR, being the colleague and follower of the pseudo-scientist T. D. Lysenko from the USSR. V. I. Talitskii was an entomologist with a poor professional training, because he produced more Soviet agro-propaganda. He developed methods and led the implementation of chickens in combating grain bugs in Uzbekistan, possibly also in the Moldavian SSR. V. I. Talitskii declared a natural phenomenon as a scientific method for the biological control of the same bed bugs. Based on the research of archival materials and other historical sources, it is desired to research the activity of some pseudo-scientists infiltrated into the state and scientific structures of the Moldavian SSR.
