About this listen
A secret Soviet program explored turning apes into super‑soldiers, blending brute strength with human tactics. Driven by Lysenko’s pseudo‑science and military ambition, researchers proposed cross‑species fertilization, hormone boosts, and neural implants, while a covert NKVD unit oversaw the work. Declassified files reveal fragmented experiments—gorilla‑derived testosterone injections and failed hybrid embryos—but no conclusive proof of a viable half‑human, half‑ape. The saga highlights how totalitarian pressure can push science into ethically monstrous, speculative realms.
