2) Ilya Ivanov unlikely to have been convicted for some political crime. Article 58 (Counter-Revolutionary Crimes) of Criminal Code of 1922 does not allow the jail term to be replaced by exile. 3) In 1926, Stalin was not the absolute ruler of USSR. Trotsky, Bukharin, Zinoviev, Kamenev (to name a few) were figures whose popularity and overall political power exceeded Stalin's. 4) Attempt to breed 'a workforce that don't complain' is serious breach of Communist doctrine, part of which was abolition of exploitation of any kind. Any bolshevik leader that proposes such thing would have his political career quickly ended. 5) Stalin couldn't propose the breeding of supersoldiers either -- he (unlike Trotsky) was for 'Socialism in One Country' and 'peaceful coexistence' ideas. I did quick search for this story in Russian part of internet, and has to say that all links I've found lacks any reference to documents. More than that, the story seems originating from certain yellow newspaper... Last edited by belank; 12-31-2005 at 10:09 PM. |

Re: [Weird War] Ape Soldiers of Soviet Science!!
Sounds like KriegAffe to me. I wonder if Dr. Hermann von Klempt is going to be in the next Hellboy movie?
Seriously, it's something that (for some reason) I am more inclined to associate with Nazi mad science than Soviet. It's odd, because it would seem to contravene some serious Nazi beliefs, such as the superiority of their race, by proving that "inferior" species could be elevated from their station. Oh well, I suppose they would just have said, "Dermal armor plating and a 90-kilowatt pulse laser didn't make them not apes," or something like that. TWK More Hellboy Now!

Still, it's kind of amusing. Reminds me of the mosquito-borne Cambodian Zombie Plague from this spring...good gaming potential.

I've found that the book that could serve the source of this story is translated to English and available online. Read The Fateful Eggs by Mikhail Bulgakov
