Variant "Zombie" (Original title: Вариант "Зомби") is a 1985 Soviet spy movie. A powerful fascist-type organization is conducting experiments on the inhabitants of one of the African countries to create psychotronic weapons for mind control. But the method of memory restoration and treatment of mental neuroses, developed by the Soviet professor Lesnikov, is becoming a serious threat to the group.

The movie was probably the first film of this kind in the (ex-) USSR, and for a long time almost the only one due to the lack of particular popularity of such a topic. However, as might expect, the movie itself was mostly about spyfare, and zombies figure in it are superficially.


The following weapons were used in the film Variant "Zombie":


Assault Rifles

StG-44 (Mocked-Up as M16)

The organization's soldiers are visible with the StG-44s, mocked-up to look like as the M16.
