Stalin's mutant ape army

Evil science ... Josef Stalin
 

By JEROME STARKEY

 SOVIET dictator Josef Stalin ordered his scientists to cross humans with APES to create an invincible breed of Red Army soldiers, secret documents show.

 

Archive papers say the Kremlin chief demanded his Planet of the Apes warriors be “resilient and resistant to hunger”.

He said they should be of “immense strength but with an underdeveloped brain”. He also wanted them to work on railway construction.

Labs and ape skeletons have been found in the Black Sea town of Suchumi in Georgia by workmen building a kids’ playground.

It is thought the apes were among creatures captured for research during the 1920s project, which cost Stalin £8,500 — more than £1million in today’s money.

Scientist Ilia Ivanov was ordered to breed the mutants. He had already tried to create a super-horse by crossing the animals with zebras.

His archived reports show the Pasteur Institute in Paris let him use a research station in Guinea, West Africa, for ape-breeding research.

And he wrote to the ruling Politburo: “The biggest problem is to catch living females.” Researchers learned to torch trees and chase apes into cages as they scampered down.

Ivanov reported that African women had been seized to be impregnated with ape sperm, but no pregnancy resulted. Female gorillas were set to receive human sperm.

When his project failed, Ivanov was arrested in 1930. He became one of millions rounded up by paranoid Stalin and died in a labour camp in 1932.

The inevitable French connection to all evildoing.

SOVIET dictator Josef Stalin ordered his scientists to cross humans with APES...

So Stalin tried to make over the Russian army in his own image.

LOL

That is so wrong.

However that dude is scary. He seems to be literally tearing apart any unfortunate soul that gets into the boxing ring with him. It wouldn't be nice to see the fellow walking up to you in an alley.

Maybe they should clone Mike Tyson ?

He was trying to create Uruk-hai.

Jerry Jones is doing the same thing in a secret grotto deep beneath Vally Ranch. We need the offensive line help.

He won his title and when the other manager tried to take it back, POW! The Russian manager laid one on hime. What a fight after the fight! Of course trying to take back the belt from a guy this big begs the question, 'who's brain was underdeveloped?'
