The Empire Wants Neo-Soldiers

So the Pentagram plans to genetically engineer more effective shooters. Not mentioned: its more urgent desire to suppress the conscience and replace it with total obedience to the total State.

There is nothing new under the sun.


According to Russian newspapers Stalin' stated, "I want a new invincible human being, insensitive to pain, resistant and indifferent about the quality of food they eat."

Over the years the Soviet Red Army had been decimated by war and civil conflict and Stalin, always in fear of losing power, needed strong and healthy soldiers. Add to that the fact that Stalin's aim and that of the Soviet Politburo, was to control the world and the spread of communism. So in 1926 they requested that the Academy of Science build a "living war machine".

Ilya Ivanov, one of Russia's top animal breeding scientists was chosen by Stalin to make the perfect soldier. Mr Ivanov established the world's first centre for the artificial insemination of racehorses.

Ironically, the story states that the Russian's also needed a large labour force to begin its first Five-Year plan to turn Russia's economy from that of agrarian to industrial. The Soviet's need a workforce that didn't complain and didn't die. Recent crop failures had left the population starving and complaining bitterly. The initial budget for the new super-soldier was $200,000, a vast sum in the 1920s.

1926 Ivanov went to West Africa in 1926 to perform experiments by impregnating chimpanzees. A centre for the experiments was also established in Georgia for raise the apes.

The experiments we are told were a total failure and Mr. Ivanov returned to the Soviet Union in disgrace. Sperm gathered from the apes was used to impregnate human volunteers but this too ended in failure.
