HE GOES TO SAY THAT THE COUNCIL DID NOT MAKE MUCH HEADWAY IN ITS WORK DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS TOTALLY REJECTED BY ACADEMIC CIRCLES. THERE WERE SIMILAR PROGRAMS IN UKRAINE, LED BY ACADEMICIAN TRIFILOV, AND IN MOSCOW LED BY DR ERNEST ANDRIANKIN. THE SPEAKER SAYS ANDRIANKIN WAS THE HEAD OF A DEPARTMENT DEALING WITH THEORETICAL PROBLEMS CONNECTED WITH DESIGNING LOGICAL LANGUAGES FOR PROPAGANDA PURPOSES, AND HE RESEARCHED A PROGRAM FOR EXERTING PSYCHOLOGICAL INFLUENCE ON THE ENEMY IN AFGHANISTAN. ANOTHER UNIDENTIFIED MAN SAYS THAT HIS THEORY HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT IT Is BETTER TO EXERT PSYCHOLOGICAL INFLUENCE THAN TO SHOOT. THE PROGRAM GOES ON TO DESCRIBE OTHER RESEARCH PROGRAMS WHICH HAVE EXISTED AND STILL EXIST. THE PRESENTER DWELLS ON THE DANGER OF IDENTIFIED BY CAPTION, EMPHASIZES THAT ONE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THESE RESEARCH PROGRAMS. "UNTIL THE WORLD'S STATES REACH SOME AGREEMENT, UNTIL AN INTERNATIONAL LEGISLATION BANNING PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL STEERING OF INTELLECT AND INFLUENCING PEOPLE, A MORATORIUM ON THIS GROUND WORK IS NEEDED," HE SAYS. "INSTEAD OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS WE WILL GET A NEW FORM OF WEAPONS, A MORE FRIGHTENING ONE, ONE WHICH HAS A FRIGHTENING NAME -- IT Ts CALLED ECOLOGICALLY PURE WEAPONS". KANYUK THEN SAYS THAT INFLUENCING THE HUMAN BRAIN, AND SUBSEQUENTLY GENETICS, COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

military supertors ordered its employees to consider the explosion a thermal one and to sign a promise not to disclose the “offi- cial secret.” A month after the accident, a commisston was set up under Rear Admiral A. G. Kurtk to investigate the incident and organize clean-up operations. Minoborony subsequently drafted and approved a whole plan of design, technical and training mea- sures aimed at making nuclear submarines sefer to operate, repair and maintain. In particular, this plan forbade repair work to be done on submarines while they were afloat, and {t called for special reactor~ recharging zones to be created at matnten- ance facilities. No such zone was created at the Shkotovo-22 plant, however, ow{ng to insufficient funds. Citizens of Shkotovo-22 are said to be concerned over lingering radioactivity in the area of the plant, There have been calls for more thorough monitoring of local radiation cond{tions, more careful medical monitoring of persons who were exposed to radiation, stricter measures to prevent the spread of radfocontamination from the fall- out zone and waste burial placés, and allo- cations for financing such undertakings. Radioactivity reportedly has spread already to nearby Konyushkovo Bay and also to Abrek and Razboynik bays. The author mentions that spectal{sts of the Taiga Geological Assoctation in Khabarovsk recently conduct- ad a detailed independent radiological ex- amination of the plant and the settlement, and results of this survey are now being yrocessed, Local officials think that a large-scale clean-up program is needed. I. 3yishan, chairman of the Shkotovo-22 set- tlement Soviet, has asked that the settle- nent be officially designated an accident- stricken population center, which would nake it eligible for additional financial assistance, (SNAP 911125) * * * * \uthor: Tsarev, Z.

He took part in preparing matertals on the question of protecting citizens against psychological terror, for the RSFSR Supreme Soviet. - “For guch cases to become fewer, peo~ ple must first be rescued from psycholog{- cal terror which {s now occurring," sa{d V. Volchenko. “The term ‘psychological ter- ror! refers to factors which adversely af- fect human consciousness. Politics and {deology are not the only ones which should be mentioned, Among the rest are hypnosis shows at stadiums and on television. After the tra{lblazer, psychotherapist A, Kash- ptirovskiy, came hundreds of his followers who have been giving simflar performances. The trouble is not even that many of thesa ‘therapists’ are elementary acquis{tors who are out to make easy money in a hurry. This ts a topic for a separate conversa- tion. The danger lies elsewhere.

In our country, it ts just the other way around at present: politics--eco- nomics--<ecology--morality. Do you think that we can enter the future with the cart before the horse?" From the editors: Specialists have acknowledged that psychological weapons exist. And the information media, which have long been a tool for ideological brainwashing of the masses, are probabl one of the most potent varieties of suc weapons, Sut information about the exis- tence also of technical “ps{" weapons has bean confirmed at the same time. The ed{- tors have received a report about a discov- ery and an invention called “A Method of Inducing Artificial Sleep at a Distance by Means of Radio Waves" (registered by the State Committee on Inventions and O{scover- {es on January 31, 1974). To the best of our knowledge, a hypnotic radiator has been bu{it and has been successfully tested in a military unit.
