I was reading a Clive Cussler book, Plague Ship that mentioned a Russian version of this…. Stalin's Fist.
Oh, I forgot to mention…it's concept is a virus based on something found on Noah's Ark…which happens to make women infertile…
Apologies anon, I only mentioned it as I only finished reading the book again for the first time in ages. Let me see…
