Soviet Scientists Make Zombie Dogs
November 27th, 2006
From the vaults of the National Council of American-Soviet Friendship comes the 1940s hit film “Experiments in the Revival of Organisms”, a sort of DIY manual for making zombie dogs. Whilst clearly a slice of Soviet propaganda meant to demonstrate their superior medical skillz, the film is widely accepted as a factual representation of experiments carried out at the time. Whilst there is no doubt that the techniques practised here went on to inform procedures such as open heart surgery, there’s something quite disconcerting about seeing a severed dog’s head being poked in the eye with a skewer, just to prove it’s still alive. Not one for the faint-hearted.
