From the Russian буржуазная лженаука (burzhuaznaya lzhenauka), “bourgeois pseudocience”.
«Under Stalinism, dialectical materialism was used to terrorize scientists. If a certain scientific theory was branded by Stalin’s ideologists as “idealistic” or “bourgeois”, the scientist who continued to defend that theory immediately came under suspicion of political disloyalty.» - Loren R. Graham, Science In Russia And The Soviet Union. A short history.
