Experiments on rejuvenation by transfusion of "young" blood were conducted in the 20-30s of the XX century in the USSR. Hoping for rejuvenation, Stalin organized an institute, and then said that he had been deceived by Alexander Bogomolets: he received the institute, but died at the age of 65, burying with him Joseph Vissarionovich's dream of living at least 150 years. Karl Marx, referring to Hegel, noted that all great events and personalities appear, so to speak, twice. However, he noted that Hegel forgot to add: the first time in the form of tragedy, the second time in the form of farce.
