As unpleasant as these women's experience is, none of them are in jail, and none of them were murdered by the state for holding these views. We're a far cry from the Lysenko era. Especially because none of the parties (on either side) even claims to be doing science.

What I see in the articles you linked is a lot of noise on both sides of the ideological line, using twitter first and then traditional media. We live in a noisy time, and this may have deplorable consequences, including (self)-censoring. I don't see a systematic state-led ideological war using systematic jailing and killing.
