it is real. from 1940 soviet russia.
"his disturbing film records the successful experiments in the resuscitation of life to dead animals (dogs), as conducted by Dr. S.S. Bryukhonenko at the Institute of Experimental Physiology and Therapy, Voronezh, U.S.S.R."

Sorry skeptics, but this video is real. The research learned from such experiments led to the development of the first Heart/Lung machines, by John Gibbons, which are now used regularly for all types of cardiac and great vessel surgeries. I am a cardiovascular perfusionist and use these machines to do incredible things to the human body. Most striking is a procedure called circulatory arrest whereby we cool a patient's body to temperatures approaching 18 degrees celsius, induce a barbituate coma turning off the brain, arrest the heart with a potassium solution and lastly shut down the patient's circulation and exsanguinate (or remove the blood) from the body. The patient is effectively dead and hypothermically preserved. This state can last for suprisingly long periods of time before the technique is reversed and the patient is brought back to life. This is mainstream medical practice and a million people every year have similar procedures performed in the United States alone. Check out Perfusion.Com for more information about the medical profession and science behind it.

Whilst the theory behind it is perhaps sound and in use today in medical situations, and experiments of this kind may well have advanced our understanding - this video is ringing loud bulls*** alarms in my head.

Some of the movements of the dog's head just look too improbable to me. It moves up, down and even lifts off the table at one point. This just isn't possible without the supposedly severed neck muscles being attached to something (i.e. the trunk :o)). Check out the reaction to the citric acid and the noise response at the end.

I'm not dismissing the experiments, or the research. Just this video. It smacks of staged propaganda.

Agree with Mags. There probably were experiments like this, but the fact that the camera never pans to the right to show the actual contraption keeping the dog "alive" has me thinking it's fake.

If it is real then the ones responsible should get their fucking head cut off so we can do it to them if not cut their fucking heads off anyway for even dreaming of hurting an animal. Bastards
