Archival documents that have recently been revealed testify to experiments on humans with the aim of creating super soldiers
Archival documents reveal that Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin ordered scientists in the USSR in the 1920s to breed humans with monkeys. His goal was to create a race of Russian super-soldiers, and he demanded that they be "flexible and immune to hunger" and have "enormous physical strength" with "a brain that does not developed".
The archive documents explain the existence of monkey skeletons in a laboratory in the city of Sukhumi in Georgia, which were uncovered by workers engaged in excavations. The person in charge of the project was the scientist Ilya Ivanov, who was arrested after the project failed in 1930 and died in a Soviet labor camp in 1932.
