Blood, Water And Mars: Soviet Science And The Alchemy For A New Man, Sophie Y. Andarovna
All Master's Theses
The themes of blood, water and Mars in Soviet science and technology show the strong utopian and even religious foundations of Soviet society, which invariably centered around forging a new environment and, in so doing, a new variety of human to inhabit it.

My report is mostly based on the personal experience, but in spite of the subjective perspective I seek to objectivize my views as much as possible by taking into account a broader context.
