Talk:Experiments of 1928/@comment-24040907-20140410032022

If I were a Russian anatomist in the Soviet Socialist Republic of Russia working on a shady research operation that took place between world wars, I'd certainly be a cold and collected scientist at that. If I were willingly participating in an experiment that involved killing innocent people, I probably would have the exact level of emotion that the protagonist displayed in the story, so I don't think you need to add any more emotion.

However this story, as said by others, could be served well with more detail in other elements. I found it difficult to put myself in the shoes of our protagonist because:

1. He used English grammar. If you "translate" a Russian document to English, it would not be written NEARLY as good as this was. I assume our protagonist only knows one language, because he couldn't understand the middle-aged test subject (who was probably speaking Slovakian).

2. How did he attach a photo to a document when that computerized technology would not come out until years later.

3. I do not believe you went into enough detail with the operation, the other anatomists, the appearance of the subjects, or the "infection" that was briefly mentioned.

Other than that, this story was entertaining and I'd like to see maybe a follow up on the spread of this infection (and how the Soviets tried to cover it up)
