HAVE THE SOVIETS UNLOCKED THE DOOR TO RESURRECTION?
In 1959, two dogs named Brodyaga and Shavka became one, thanks to The Soviet Union. There were earlier experiments involving this concept, but in 1959, it was documented in film. Vladimir Petrovich Demikhov (rus:Влади́мир Петро́вич Де́михов), an extremely progressive organ transplant surgeon, had done many experiments in switching out organs for the organs of other dogs, and various other things similar.
In this film, titled Experiments in the Revival of Organisms, it demonstrates both Demikhov’s skill in transplant of living tissues, and the capabilities of a device called the Autojektor, designed by Doctor Sergei Brukhonenko and Boris Levinskovsky. The Autojektor is capable of circulating and re-oxygenating blood, so that an organ, or part of the body, can be kept alive without the rest of the system. In the film, it shows a decapitated dog head hooked up to the Autojektor that still responds to external stimuli. The claim at the time was that it was kept alive for days, whie recently people involved said that the head was alive for hours.
The most extreme experiments included killing a dog by draining it of its blood, then recirculating healthy, oxygenated blood through its body and reanimating it. The only thing more extreme than that was the experiments in sewing dogs together. Brodyaga and Shavka were the most famous, and long-lived of these. Below is an image of them, who were taxidermied after their death
