I don't think it is actively ignoring it, it's just that this is a video on Lysenko in particular, who is responsible for taking advantage of that system of wishful thinking and scientific suppression.
This individual's theories were directly responsible for the events and deaths that occurred. An ideological system willing to suppress science is also complicit in those events, but it takes someone like Lysenko to fully utilize such a system.
I'm sure glad we've learned from their mistakes and don't let ideologues use the power of the state to enforce their alternative reality on people.
