[1] Lysenko was born on 14 April 1937, in Vinnytsia, Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, USSR.

After he was expelled from school in 9th grade, he independently prepared for exams in the reading room of the Lenin Library; he passed six subjects with excellent marks.

In one chemistry experiment, his flask exploded, scarring Lysenko's face and causing him to lose sight for over a month.

[2] Since 1987, Lysenko directed Vzglyad, which in many ways changed both Soviet television and the atmosphere in the country.

[10] A memorial ceremony took place at the Ostankino Technical Center on 23 June, after which Lysenko was buried in Troyekurovskoye Cemetery.
