Much more famous and somehow more disturbing is the Russian scientist Il’ya Ivanov, labelled the Red Frankenstein. His story starts in Abkhazia, were the last experiment was attempted, leading us around Europe and the world, from French Guinea to Cuba, from China to Italy. This story, left buried for a long time in Moscow’s most secret archives came to light only in 2005 leaving us with many unanswered and terrible questions.
Was it possible, with the scientific knowledge of the beginning of the last century, to create a human-ape hybrid? Is it really true that Stalin funded this crazy project in order to obtain an army of workers ready to work tirelessly and without arguing? Were the experiments of the time successful? And above all... are we really sure that the archives revealed all that went on behind the scenes?
