![]() Soviet scientists are also believed to have investigated how to revive “clinically dead” organisms.Ī documentary called Experiments In The Revival Of Organisms was created in 1940, which showcased some of the research. The lab lived on in various forms throughout the Cold War however, and was reportedly reactivated in the late ’90s for the “creation of biological and toxin weapons for clandestine operations in the West”. ![]() He was eventually arrested as part of a political campaign by Joseph Stalin. These poisons were given to victims with a meal or drink as “medication”.Įventually, they developed the poison known as C-2 or K-2 (carbylamine choline chloride), which caused victims to become calm and silent before dying within 15 minutes.ĭr Mairanovsky tested his poisons on people of different conditions and ages to understand the chemicals better. Grigory Mairanovsky was a notorious Soviet biochemist and poison developer who initiated a secret poison program that involved testing chemicals on political prisoners. One double-headed dog was even pictured drinking water and walking around.īut while the smaller dog could lap up liquid, she wasn’t connected to the main stomach, so water simply flowed out from a tube onto the floor.ĭue to a lack of immunosuppressive drugs, the host dog’s immune system eventually rejected the transplant, causing death. Most of the dogs died after just a few days, but one of them lived for nearly a month. Prof Demikhov created at least 20 of the creatures in communist East Germany during the Cold War. The controversial professor performed depraved surgeries that involved transplanting a dog’s head onto another hound to create two-headed dogs. While well regarded as an early organ transplant pioneer, Soviet scientist Vladimir Demikhov is more infamous for his twisted experiments on poor pups. Russian biologist Dr Ivanov wanted to create half-human, half-ape creature. Tello said the lab didn’t perform any studies on Oliver during his decade there because the staff could tell he was special: ‘He was just on a different level he had very humanlike traits.It was claimed - and later disproved - that Oliver the chimpanzee was a human-chimp hybrid. The subject of a Discovery Channel documentary in 2006, Oliver came to the sanctuary after being relocated from a research lab in Pennsylvania. His exact age was not known because he was pulled from the wild in the Congo by two animal trainers as a youngster, Tello said. Oliver, who walked upright almost all of the time, was believed to be at least 55 years old. Tello told the San Antonio Express-News that Oliver’s girlfriend, Raisin, was by his side when caretakers found him. He said Oliver will be cremated and his ashes will be spread near where the chimps live on the sanctuary. Tello told The Associated Press the sanctuary plans a private memorial later in the week. Oliver was mostly blind, had no teeth and suffered from arthritis. Oliver died Saturday, said Stephen Rene Tello, executive director of Primarily Primates, the San Antonio animal sanctuary where the chimp had lived since 1998. SAN ANTONIO (AP) – Oliver, a chimpanzee known for his upright stature and humanlike traits, has died at a Texas wildlife refuge after spending much of his life in circus shows and research labs.
