Footage has appeared online that apparently shows Soviet scientists in the 1920s using a device that keeps blood circulating through the bodies of warm-blooded animals, even after decapitation, and bringing them back to life.

The footage in the video is certainly fascinating, but brace yourself, it's also quite disturbing.
