According to unverl-

the cost of unconventional -field

has been 23 million rubles
In

Is as great

Seeking more
information about uncon-
entlonal-flelds
research and the purposes
f this
research,
the author spoke
to an
ssoclate of the USSR Supreme Soviet's
Cora-
Ittee on Science and Technologies and
sub-
equently went to the armed forces'
General
taff.
He was told that the committee had
ecelved no information
in this
regard from
Inoborony,
the KGB or other agencies
in-
olved,
Representatives of the General
taff referred the author to the USSR Acad-
my of Sciences'
Section on Problems of Ap-
lled Science.
Nikolay Prudnlkov,
deputy
halrman of this section,
said that
It
ometlmes orders projects
to be carried out
or the General
Staff,
but he disclosed no
stalls of this work.
One such project,
hlcb was called "Obezllchlye"
(de-lndlvld-
lllzatlon),
Is mentioned.
It
Is recalled
lit
in
1986,
a scientific research Instl-
jte Informed the academy's section that
ie Institute was prepared to carry out
,i1s project.
An associate of the section
ho knew more. about the project was not
/allable for questioning,
however.
At the
/ent" center,
the author was told that dl-
jctor Akimov was away on
a business trip.
Ye. Aleksandrov,
corresponding member
F the USSR Academy of Sciences
and
a
scl-
itlflc opponent of Akimov's,
sent the au-
lor a report of the Center for Unconven-
onal
Technologies.
According to this
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 also
In research of medi-
cal-biological
protection of troops and the
population against effects of such radia-
tions,
Aleksandrov 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 'scientist denounced research
of unconventional
fields
as pseudoscien-
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.
Scientists who hold opposing views of
unconventional -fields
research reportedly
Include
V,
Kaznacheyev,
who
is believed
to
be working
In
this direction
for the de-
fense complex and has
signed
an

convention on the non-use of

A.
Veynlk,
corresponding member
of the Belorussian Academy of Sciences,
who
has
put
forward
a number of theories;
and
other academy figures,

The author suggests
that the

Abstract:
The article
reports on activi-
ties of the Construction Research and De-
sign Association
(Proyektstroynauka)
,
which
is utilizing experience with construction
of military and space Installations.
"Pro-
yektstroynauka"
is characterized
as
a high-
potential
organization which
is launching
production on the basis of
its own scien-
tific developments.
This association,
which
has an annual
turnover of millions of
rubles,
takes
in
several
joint-stock compa-
nies
and
small
enterprises.
A conversation
is
recorded with Colo-
nel
of the Reserves Dmitriy Arkadyevich
Frumin,
a former military construction spe-
cialist and now head of the
"Proyektstroy-
nauka"
association.
Frumin and colonels of
the reserves
V.
Kostin,
A.
Sytnik and
N.
Marichev are among a number of engineers
who acquired unique experience
In construc-
tion of fortifications,
missile silos and
structures of space-launch complexes while
serving
in the armed forces,
the author
relates.
For example,
concrete capable of
withstanding a direct hit by
a missile with
a nuclear warhead was developed,
using
high-quality cement and scarce superplasti-
cizers.
Frumin recalled that while carry-
ing out
a contract assignment at Kapustin
Yar
in
1962,
he and
his associates achieved
waterproofness of concrete which was two to
three times
as
high
as
usual.
Experience
of former military specialists reportedly
has been utilized
in building underground
structures
for civil
defense and watertight
structures
for underground services,
in
particular.
A new process which makes
sealing of joints unnecessary,
permanent
forms which function simultaneously
as
fac-
ing and wet
sealing,
concrete ten times
as
waterproof as conventional
concrete,
and
other materials with special
properties
have been developed
in this connection.
Frumin showed the author of the arti-
cle
slabs of siligran,
a concrete which
is
not only comparatively inexpensive but said
to be capable of withstanding stresses
as
great
as those for which missile silos
are
designed.
Siligran
is considered
a possi-
ble safe substitute for asbestos cement
whose use
is forbidden
in many countries.
Other potentially profitable developments
of "Proyektstroynauka"
include
unique pro-
cesses for producing building materials,
and equipment for these processes.
The
association reportedly has concluded
agreements
for creation of joint enter-
prises
and facilities,
including
a Soviet-
Bulgarian enterprise,
for production of
finished products.

Extract:
Long ago,
Gennadiy Petrovich
Shchelkunov,
a specialist
in the field of
radioelectronics and an employee of the
scientific production association
"Istok,"
calculated and substantiated an effect of
long-distance communication without the aid
of equipment.
This effect consists essen-
tially of excitation,
in cerebral
fluid,
of
acoustic vibrations which reach auditory
nerves.
These vibrations are excited by
pulsed microwave radiation.
Shchelkunov
did not attempt to carry out his discovery
in practice,
but
he considers
it quite fea-
sible from the technical
standpoint.
In
a scrapbook which
I
leafed through,
there was
a short clipping which
read:
"I,
Ivan Sergeyevich
Kachalin,
and
(the name of
another inventor followed)
made
a discov-
ery,
'A Method of Inducing Artificial
Sleep
at
a Distance by ,Means of Radio Waves,'
in
the Soviet UnioniA
General -Colonel
of Avi-
ation Vladimir Nikitovich Abramov rendered
practical
assistance
in formalizing this
discovery.
Marshal
of Aviation Yevgeniy
Yakovlevich Savitskiy supervised this
work."

Documents state that
"a paper by the
authors of an Invention,
'The Action of
Modulated Electric and Electromagnetic
Pulses on Biological
Specimens,'
was pre-
sented at the bioelectronics laboratory of
the USSR Academy of Sciences'
Institute of
Radio Engineering and Electronics
(IRE).
In
1973,
the first
'Radioson'
(radiosleep)
unit was developed at military unit 71592
of the city of Novosibirsk and preliminary
trials were conducted
This
report bears
the
seal
of an
aca-
demic
institute and signatures,
including
those of academician
Yu.
Kobzarev and Doc-
tor of Sciences
E.
Godik.
And,
by the way,
the block diagram of the
"Radioson"
unit
includes the same microwave generator whose
pulses,
according
to
G.
Shchelkunov,
can
also evoke acoustic vibrations
in the
brain.
We were
able
to meet with
a second
in-
ventor.
Ivan Antonovich
(he requested that
his
last name not be used),
an associate of
an institute of the USSR Academy of Scienc-
es,
said:
"Yes,
we have developed the
'Radioson'
unit
and
have conducted
not just
one,
but
several
successful
tests both on ourselves
and on volunteer soldiers.
But prolonged
correspondence with the Committee on
Inven-
tions
and Discoveries didn't produce any
results.
They deferred consideration of
our claim,
which was
registered as early as
1974,
under
a totally unconvincing pre-
text. "
"Perhaps,
because
such devices already
existed?"
"No,
at that time,
this was out of the
question.
We gave some reports
at various
institutes,
including
IRE
in
1982.
Savits-
kiy arranged
a meeting
for us with
special-
ists of a military scientific research
in-
stitute.
They listened with
interest,
but
everything disappeared as

The total

'
weapons
are
technically entirely feasible,
prototypes
of them were tested
as early as
the
1970s
and
1980s,
and
this means that
they may
also exist
now.
