1925年夏天，初出茅庐的作家亚历山大·别利亚耶夫发表了一篇《科学奇幻故事》，描述了一个被砍下的人头在特殊机器的支持下生活在实验室里的艰辛。就在几个月后，年轻的医学研究人员谢尔盖·布里科诺年科使用了他设计的一种特殊设备，成功地使一只被切断的狗头复活。本文考察了革命后俄国的文学实验与科学实验之间的关系，反映了1914-1923年俄罗斯“死亡统治”后人们对死亡、复兴和生存的焦虑。它将这个故事提出的痛苦的伦理问题与公众对“征服死亡的科学”的痴迷进行了对比。
In the summer of 1925, a debutant writer, Aleksandr Beliaev, published a ‘scientific-fantastic story’, which depicted the travails of a severed human head living in a laboratory, supported by special machinery. Just a few months later, a young medical researcher, Sergei Briukhonenko, succeeded in reviving the severed head of a dog, using a special apparatus he had devised to keep the head alive. This paper examines the relationship between the literary and the scientific experiments with severed heads in post-revolutionary Russia, which reflected the anxieties about death, revival, and survival in the aftermath of the 1914–1923 ‘reign of death’ in that country. It contrasts the anguished ethical questions raised by the story with the public fascination for ‘science that conquers death’.
