SCIENTISTS DIVIDED OVER VALIDITY OF

Abstract:
The article reports
on contro-
versy over research of unconventional
phys-
ical
fields
and military applications of
this work.
Some scientists are said
to be-
lieve that
'psychotronic generators'
based
on new physical
principles can be
used
for
remote control
of people's minds and behav-
ior,
and that original
weapons
for this
purpose can be developed on the basis of
generators of
"spinor
(torsion)" or
"micro-
lepton"
fields,
In particular.
Other sci-
entists are highly skeptical
of such
re-
search.
It
Is
recalled that
a resolution enti-
tled
"On the Unsound Practice of Financing
Pseudoscientific Research out of State
Sources" was published,
together with
an
opinion submitted by the USSR Academy of
Sciences'
department of general
physics
and
astronomy,
on duly 4 of this yean
The
USSR Supreme Soviet's Committee on Science
and Technologies
issued this
resolution.
It accused
several
ministries of spending,
without
a proper expert
review,
half a bil-
lion
rubles on pseudoscientific and antl-
sclentiflc developments Involving spinor or
mlcrolepton
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 Sciences'

Is headed by academician Trefllov.
The
Interagency scientific-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
In the area of un-
conventional
fields.
According
to unveri-
fied data from A.
Akimov,
director of this
center,
the cost of unconventional-field
projects has been
23 million rubles
In Mln-
oborony's sector alone,
while the overall
amount which has been allocated
for such
research
through
all
of the different chan-
nels
Is
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
associate of the USSR Supreme Soviet's Com-
mittee on Science and Technologies and sub-
sequently went
to the armed forces'
General
Staff,
He was
told that the committee had
received no information
In
this
regard from
Mlnoborony,
the KGB or other agencies
In-
volved,
Representatives of the General
Staff referred the author to the USSR Acad-
emy of Sciences'
Section on
Problems of Ap-
plied Science,
Nikolay Prudnlkov,
deputy
chairman of this
section,
said
that
It
sometimes orders projects
to
be carried out
for the General
Staff,
but
he disclosed no
details of this work.
One such project,
which was called "Obezllchlye"
(de-lndl vid-
ua! 1 zatlon)
r
is mentioned.
It
Is recalled
that
In
1986,
a scientific research
Insti-
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
available for questioning,
however.
At the
Vent
center,
the author was told that di-
rector Akimov was away on
a business trip*
x .u Ye;J!eksaf
ldrov -
corresponding member
Df the USSR Academy of Sciences
and
a sci-
entific opponent of Akimov's,
sent the au-
thor a report of the Center for Unconven-
tional
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

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 Sciences organize
a roundtable
discussion
on the topic of psychological
weapons,
with
all
sides
In the controversy
represented.
