This 1922 edition of Paul Kammerer’s Rejuvenation and the Prolongation of Personal Life serves as a fascinating window into the early Soviet obsession with biotransformation and radical life extension. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of Kammerer’s experimental biology, including the arrangement of his theories regarding the inheritance of acquired characteristics and his controversial "rejuvenation" procedures performed on plants, animals, and humans. Translated into Russian by the biologist Mikhail Zavadovsky, this popular science work reflects the spirit of the post-revolutionary era, where the "new man" was seen not only as a social construct but as a biological one to be perfected through science. Kammerer, a brilliant yet tragic figure of the Vienna Vivarium, became a celebrity in the Soviet Union for his support of Lamarckian evolution, which aligned with the state’s ideological goals. This Gosizdat imprint captures the exact moment when the boundaries between cutting-edge laboratory research and utopian social engineering began to blur, making it a vital primary source for scholars of the history of science and the origins of Soviet transhumanism.
