-“одна голова хорошо а две лучше”-(One head it's good, but two are better.)

Vladimir Petrovich Demikhov (Russian: Владимир Петрович Демихов; July 31, 1916 – November 22, 1998)[1] was a Soviet scientist and organ transplantation pioneer, who performed several transplants in the 1940s and 1950s, including the transplantation of a heart into an animal and a heart–lung replacement in an animal. He is also well known for his dog head transplants,[2] which he conducted during the 1950s, resulting in two-headed dogs.

(I like to think that the real reason why Ivan hides his neck is because he has a scars from various experiments he was subjected to in his time as the Soviet Union.

They probably wanted to see if he really was immortal and after discovering that apparently he was, they would start trying things like head transplants on him without fearing he died.)

“Experiments in the Revival of Organisms”

The film depicts and discusses, without going into much technical detail, a series of medical experiments. First, a heart (canine, as with all in this film) is shown being isolated from a body, with four tubes connected.

It then shows a lung in a tray, operated by bellows, oxygenating blood.

Following the lung scene we are shown the operation of a primitive heart-lung machine, the autojektor, composed of a pair of diaphragm linear pumps and what appears to be an oxygen bubble chamber. We then see it is supplying a canine head with oxygenated blood. The head is shown to respond to external stimuli, seen in the gifs here. 

Finally, a dog is brought to clinical death (depicted mostly via a graphical plot of lung and heart activity) by draining all blood from it, left for ten minutes, then connected to the heart-lung machine described earlier. After several minutes, the heart fibrillates, then restarts a normal rhythm. Respiration likewise resumes, the machine is removed and the dog is shown to continue living a healthy life.
