Resumo

Estudo discutindo a evolução da cibernética na União Soviética, analisando as raízes da disciplina nos anos 1920-1930, a partir da obra dos pesquisadores Ivan Pavlov e Andrei Kolmogorov, sua problemática inserção na realidade soviética no início dos anos 1950, com críticas agressivas feitas em diferentes publicações, posterior reabilitação a partir de 1955, com a instituição de organismos de pesquisa e publicação de diversos livros e artigos sobre a área, com foco nas iniciativas de Aksel Berg e Aleksei Lyapunov e, por fim, a expansão dos institutos e o auge de publicações nos anos 1960 e os impasses advindos desse sucesso. A pesquisa identificou que a utilização da cibernética oscilou na URSS, passando de um agressivo período de ataques – apesar de não endossado pela cúpula do partido comunista – a uma (por vezes exagerada) consagração, caindo em interpretações equivocadas ou excessivamente totalizantes.
