The Soviet theory of continental formation was very different than the American theory of continental drift. (Perhaps some of the Russian members can provide more information on this.) The Soviet theory involved a metamorphosis of elements and believed that something as large as a continent "drifting" would leave marks of some kind. (It makes sense to me.) I'm not convinced that drift adequately explains the phenomena of continental drift. Research on continental formation currently in process in the U.S. may still rewrite text books.
The Soviet Union's research also showed that acquired characteristics could be inherited, and, based on using those theories in the Ukraine, starved to death several hundred thousand people in what is one of the most fertile areas of the world. Of course, they fixed the research by turning those people into unpersons.
