Well, not exactly, but could have ended in that, if it is true.

In the first part it shows how russian scientist keep alive organs taken from a dog, including a head.

In the introduction, that guy with the comedy moustache says something about blood transfusion having saved many lives 'during the war'. The note says the film is from 1940, so which war is he talking about?

First world war, russian revolution? What I would like to know if it really was a publicity film, it looks too fake, the dog head looks as if the rest of the body were under the table.

There wasn't a 'Soviet Union' in either of these, and he refers to that as well when he talks how scientists of this country have developed this technique. Very fishy.

I supect that for most Russian / Soviet citizens in 1940 "The War" meant the Finno-Russian War. It's been overshadowed by other military events
in the 1939-45 period, but at the time it seems to have been fairly dramatic -- a longer and much more bloody affair than the Russians had originally expected, and one which produced considerable sympathy in the West for the Finns, and even calls for military intervention.
