Immigration policy of a non-Bolshevik Russia?

Hm, I thought the Soviets participated as much as they could under Khrushchev?

Hampered by the promotion of batshit crazy people like Trofim Lysenko into positions of power. He got 1000s of "normal" agricultural experts into the gulags and Soviet agriculture took a nosedive.
Proponents falsely claimed to have discovered, among many other things, that rye could transform into wheat and wheat into barley, that weeds could spontaneously transmute into food grains, and that "natural cooperation" was observed in nature as opposed to "natural selection".
What he and his lackeys pushed was less scientific than alchemy.
 
You mean in the Green Revolution?

Right. Khrushchev really pushed for improving the Soviet chemical industries (including fertilizers and pesticides), and the use of agrichemicals really jumped during his tenure.

Khrushchev also pushed for better crops to be used, though he really overdid this and wanted maize to be planet in areas where it really wasn't suitable (which is a shame, since it also discredited maize in the climates where it would have done well in the Soviet Union).

And of course, Lysenkoism was ended under him.

I'm not sure what else Khrushchev could have done to participate in the green revolution... Under him, Soviet Agriculture became more chemical and more scientific.
