Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev, believes that the United States has gained the ability to control the spread of large epidemics, which – in his opinion – does not even rule out a zombie apocalypse scenario. He described his thoughts in an article for “Ekspert” magazine.
Dmitry Medvedev on the zombie apocalypse. “Like in The Last of Us”
“The United States, as is known, has created a global military-biological network, using other countries as training grounds for its experiments. As a result, millions of people unknowingly become hostages of deadly threats” — Medvedev stated, without providing any evidence for these theses. “The results of these studies allow the US to control the spread of the epidemic and study genetic factors influencing people's resistance to various diseases,” he said.
He emphasized that these institutions are designed to work with biological threat factors of varying degrees of danger and are equipped with multi-level security systems.

Medvedev suggested that the zombie apocalypse scenario known from the American game and TV series “The Last of Us” may become a reality [w serialu grzybicza infekcja przemienia wszystkich ludzi na świecie w agresywne istoty]. In his opinion, the use of new pathogens near national borders, with the guaranteed safety of the United States itself, allows the creation of outbreaks of dangerous human and animal diseases that can spread on a global scale.
The former president also wrote about the growing availability of equipment and genome editing methods, which is said to increase the risk of creating artificially modified viruses. He pointed to the possibility of the emergence of biological threats, the origin of which will be difficult to determine because they can be presented as natural epidemiological processes.
