Vladimir Putin's exact plans will be unveiled in September at an investment forum but experts say the centre will aim "to study extinct animals from living cells - and to restore such creatures as the woolly mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, cave lion and breeds of long-gone horses".
IOW, the whole thing is fake. "Nearby we'll be working on the cost-saving reusable Moon rocket, and that's right next to our Time Machine." Thanks EdnaMode.
Putin is a decade late and lots of rubles short. The Koreans have been working with Russians in Yakutst for sometime now collecting tissue from existing wooly mammoths that have been frozen intact for eons. The most famous of the mammoths is the baby “Buttercup” whom I believe we discussed here a long time ago.
The Koreans are actively cloning dogs and cattle and are experts in the procedures. The scientist on the video showed his work and advised that cloning a mammoth would be very hard. The cloned egg would be implanted in a female asian elephant.
The interesting video is here

For the record, my friend in california called me yesterday to tell of his trip to Alaska and the Taiga and the Russian taiga and the active quest for wooly mammoth DNA.
For ten years I have secreted away a box containing fossil mammoth ivory I intended to make jewelry from. I got it out and started messing with it today. It is very easy to work and a beautiful piece was polished up in just a few minutes. I think I’m goig to be rich!
