Soviet cyborgs: Is this real?

[Q]

I know there were experiments with reviving decapitated dogheads, but putting them into robot bodies? I looks like a hoax. Anyway, as this page carries (http://community.livejournal.com/true_robots/297467.html):

It looks very photoshopped (and not especially well photoshopped because the lighting on the 'cyborg' doesn't match the lighting on the soldiers.)

[Ele'ill]

So they used a dog brain to power the cyb...Squirrel!

Photoshop.

Probably int_00h who is on it again.

[Kuppo Shakur]

That's pretty damn cool.
Us revlefters should officially "continue" this project!

[Adil3tr]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I wish this was.

That's exactly what I think like.

It looks like he's related to Caine from Robocop 2.

No way. These days it's considered a significant achievement to get a human brain to interface with a robotic hand after months of acclimatisation:

Forget trying to get a dismebodied dog's head to control a completely unfamiliar humanoid body - I don't think we've even cracked the problem of keeping a severed head alive long enough.

Well that doesn't mean they couldn't of tried. :scared:

Seeing how difficult it is even today to keep a robot balanced i can not see how the Soviets would have done it so long ago.

Also for a 4 legged dog to somehow walk in a 2 legged robot seems very unlikely.

Clearly its a very cool hoax.

[Revy]

It reminds me of this art poster called Comrades of Steel.

I think what is impressive is not the pictures of the robot but the pictures of the book. because the picture of the robot screams fake.

[Blackscare]

Also, I sort of wonder just how such an interface would work given that digital tech was so very limited at that point (or maybe nonexistent at the time this was supposed to have happened?).


Are we supposed to believe this was controlled through some sort of analogue technology?

[Astarte]

at least a manual exists in case anyone else wants to attempt building an undead robotic lassie in the future.

[scourge007]

It's obviously photoshopped , but it still looks cool.

[Geiseric]

This is awesome. Totally something that'd be in fallout. Maybe a gorilla head would work better?

Soviet cyborg gorillas. Oh my God. The Cold War would have ended in a week.

P.S: If you don't like seeing gruesome shit, don't watch it.

P.P.S: Normally graphic warnings make me want to watch it.

[JazzRemington]

This looks similar to Gear Krieg. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_Krieg)

[Leonid Brozhnev]

Awesome. Reminds of those little bastard Protectrons from Fallout

ok...we all had a chat. and...well...you know...we think you are old enough now to let you in on the big secret.

They are all stored in a basement somewhere underneath a mountain in Khabarovsk. And, when the time is right, somebody needs to drop a coin into a machine that is in a vault underneath that very same mountain and then they will activate to march out and destroy New...I mean...Las Vegas.

Come back in a couple of months and I'll tell you the rest of the secret.

I was gonna say: the soviets did keep a severed dog head alive in a series of experiments. Godless degenerate commies :).

I think on that same page there's a link to a video of a cat on lsd or something. And let's not forget that the Russians launched cosmonaut monkeys into space. Those wacky scientists sure do come up with some hilarious shit
