Default Russian domesticated red fox project update

An article appearing today on the BBC website has a recap of the
Russian fox domesication project and a few bits of information I was
previously unaware of such as:

"The study of genetics had been essentially banned in the USSR, as the
country's dictator Joseph Stalin sought to discredit the genetic
principles set out by Gregor Mendel. Stalin's death in 1953 gave
scientists more freedom, but in the early years Belyaev nevertheless
worked under the cover that he was breeding foxes to make better fur
coats."
