"The Heart of the Serpent" (originally in Latin: Cor Serpentis, Russian: Сердце Змеи) is a 1958 science fiction short story by the Soviet writer and paleontologist Ivan Yefremov. The crew of a spaceship encounters an alien ship in deep space. Speculation ensues about whether the other crew might be hostile. Comparisons are made to American SF writer Murray Leinster's story "First Contact", in which an elaborate protocol is developed to prevent the aliens from following the Terrans home and destroying them, or vice versa. The premise of Leinster's story is debunked, in part by pointing out that in order for a planet's civilization to become space-faring, they would need to be at peace among themselves and presumably have organized themselves into a planet-wide classless communist society, a

| - Die Erzählung Das Herz der Schlange (russ. Сердце Змеи) von Iwan Jefremow erschien 1959 unter dem Titel Cor Serpentis (Сердце Змеи) und ab 1964 als Сердце Змеи.Sie gehört zum Zyklus Der große Ring. In dieser Erzählung diskutiert Jefremow neben der These, dass alle hochentwickelten Lebensformen auf Grund der allgemeinen Entwicklungsgesetze des Kosmos eine menschenähnliche Gestalt aufweisen müssen, die Möglichkeit einer Lebensform, deren Biochemie auf Fluorwasserstoff basiert.Diese Geschichte fungiert als Bindeglied zwischen den Romanen Der Andromedanebel und Die Stunde des Stiers.
