Some scientists are said to be- lieve that ;Psychotrontc generators' based on new physical principles can be used for remote control of people's minds and behav- jor, and that original weapons for this purpose can be developed on the basis of generators of “spinor (torsfon)" or “micro- epton" fields, tn particular. Other sci- entists are highly skeptical of such re- search, It 1s recalled that a resolution enti- tled “On the Unsound Practice of Financing Pseudascientific Research out of State Sources" was published, together with an opinion submitted by the USSR Academy of Sclences' department of general physics and astronomy, on duly 4 of this year. The USSR Supreme Soviet's Committee on Setence and Technologies issued this resolution, It accused several ministries of spending, without a proper expert review, half a bi]- lion rubles on pseudosctentific and anti- scientific developments involving spinor or microlepton fields with which scientists are already familiar. The resolution named the USSR Ministry of Defense (Minoborony), the USSR Ministry of Nuclear Power Engi- neering and Industry, the USSR State Secur- ity Committee (KGB) and the USSR Cabinet of Ministers! Military-Industrial Commission as clients and sponsors of this work. More than 20 institutes were identified as exec» utors and developers. First on this list was the Ukrainian Academy of Sefences!

The interagency sctentiftc-technical center “Vent" (formerly the Center for Unconven- tional Technologies of the USSR State Com- mittee for Science and Technology) was identified as the country's "chief" firm engaged in developments fn the area of un- conventional fields, According to unvert- fied data from A. Akimov, director of this center, the cost of unconventional-field - projects has been 23 million rubles in Min- oborony's sector alone, while the overall amount which has been allocated for such research through all of the different chan- nels fs as great as 500 million rubles, Seeking more information about uncon- ventional~fields research and the purposes of this research, the author spoke to an assoctate of the USSR Supreme Soviet's Com- mittee on Scfence and Technolagies and sub- sequently went to the armed forces’ General Staff, He was told that the committee had received no information fn this regard from Minoborony, the KGB or other agencies in- volved, Representatives of the General Staff referred the author to the USSR Acad- emy of Scfences' Section on Problems of Ap- plied Scfence, Nikolay Prudnikov, deputy chairman of this section, safd that it sometimes orders projects to be carried out for the General Staff, but he disclosed no details of this work, One such profect, © which was called “Obezlichtye" (de-individ= ualization), 1s mentioned. It is recalled that in 1986, a selentific research inst{- tute informed the academy's section that the institute was prepared to carry out this project. An associate of the section who knew more about the project was not avatlable for questioning, however. At the “Vent“ center, the author was told that di- rector Akimov was away on a business trip. Ye. Aleksandrov, corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Selences and a sci{~ antific opponent of Akimov's, sent the au- chor a report of the Center for Unconven- ‘tonal Technologies, According to this I 4 ; 3 BPR ret ce ae Approved For Release AN GLASS CJALRDP96-00792R00060045 oth: ‘d DP96-00792R00060045001 1-1 document, the center is engaged in research of long-distance production of medical-bio-» logical and psychophysical effects on troops and the population, using torsion radiations; and alse in research of medi- cal-bialogical protection of troops and the population against effects of such radia- tions. Ateksandrov expressed doubt that equipment capable of producing such effects can be developed. A letter which the edi- tors received from Aleksandrov is quoted, in which the sclentist denounced research of unconventional fields as pseudoscten- tific, citing a decision of the academy's department of general physics and astrono- my. Aleksandrov went so far as to accuse state enterprises of producing fake "field generators" and selling them to defense agencies for large sums. Sclentists who hold opposing views of unconventfonal-fields research reportedly include V, Kaznacheyev, who is belfeved to be working in this direction for the de- fense complex and has signed an interna- tional convention on the non-use of “mental weapons"; A. Veynik, corresponding member of the Belorussian Academy of Sciences, who has put forward a number of theories: and other academy figures, who have published works abroad, The author suggests that the Academy of Scfences organtze a roundtable discussfon on the topic of psychological weapons, With all stdes in the controversy represented.
