| Sumario: | Analysis about the evolution of cybernetics in the Soviet Union, discussing the origins of the discipline in the 1920s and 1930s, based on the work of Ivan Pavlov and Andrei Kolmogorov, its rejection in the beginning of the fifties, centered in aggressive critics produced in different publications, its rehabilitation after 1955, related to the consolidation of institutes, publication of books and articles dedicated to the field and the initiatives made by the researchers Aksel Berg e Aleksei Lyapunov, and the discipline apogee in the sixties, represented by the expansion of institutes and the peak of publications, despite some contradictions and controversies. The research identifies that the utilization of cybernetics in the USSR oscillated between a period of hard critics – despite not endorsed by the soviet communist party – to an exaggerated acclamation, creating equivocated ideas and excessively totalizing theories. |
