PSIKHICHESKOYE ORUZHIYE NE NAYDENO NO 500 MILLIONOV ISTRACHENY DOC REF: KOMSOMOLSKAYA PRAVDA (MOSCOW) (KOPVA), 910927, NR 222, 2 INF CTY: USSR (UR) ———— INF DATE: 910927 COSATI: BEHAVIORAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES (05); BIOLOGICAL AND MEDICAL SCIENCES (06) CLASSIF: UNCLASSIFIED RELEASE: NONE (XX) TEXT: ABSTRACT. THIS ARTICLE WAS PUBLISHED IN THE OCTOBER 18, 1991 ISSUE OF THE DAILY SNAP. THE ARTICLE REPORTS ON CONTROVERSY OVER RESEARCH OF UNCONVENTIONAL PHYSICAL FIELDS AND MILITARY APPLICATIONS OF THIS WORK. SOME SCIENTISTS ARE SAID TO BELIEVE THAT PSYCHOTRONIC GENERATORS' BASED ON NEW PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES CAN BE USED FOR REMOTE CONTROL OF PEOPLE'S MINDS AND BEHAVIOR, AND THAT ORIGINAL WEAPONS FOR THIS PURPOSE CAN BE DEVELOPED ON THE BASIS OF GENERATORS OF SPINOR (TORSION) OR MICROLEPTON FIELDS, IN PARTICULAR. OTHER SCIENTISTS ARE HIGHLY SKEPTICAL OF SUCH RESEARCH. IT IS RECALLED THAT A RESOLUTION ENTITLED 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 JULY 4 OF THIS YEAR. 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 BILLION RUBLES ON PSEUDOSCIENTIFIC AND ANTISCIENTIFIC 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 ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRY, THE USSR STATE. SECURITY 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 EXECUTORS AND DEVELOPERS. FIRST ON THIS LIST WAS THE UKRAINIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES' INSTITUTE OF MATERIALS SCIENCE PROBLEMS, WHICH IS HEADED BY ACADEMICIAN TREFILOV. THE INTERAGENCY SCIENTIFIC TECHNICAL CENTER VENT (FORMERLY THE CENTER FOR UNCONVENTIONAL TECHNOLOGIES OF THE USSR STATE COMMITTEE FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY) WAS IDENTIFIED AS THE COUNTRY 'S CHIEF FIRM ENGAGED IN DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AREA OF UNCONVENTIONAL FIELDS. ACCORDING TO UNVERIFIED DATA FROM A. AKIMOV, DIRECTOR OF THIS CENTER, THE COST OF UNCONVENTIONAL FIELD PROJECTS HAS BEEN 23 MILLION RUBLES IN MINOBORONY'S SECTOR ALONE, WHILE THE OVERALL AMOUNT WHICH HAS BEEN ALLOCATED FOR SUCH RESEARCH THROUGH ALL OF THE DIFFERENT CHANNELS IS AS GREAT AS 500 MILLION RUBLES. kK kK kK kK KE RK RK K RK KR Kk kK kK RK RK KK RK RK RK KK KK kK KR RK Kk kK kK KK KR UNCLASSIFIED PAGE 26 kok k wk kK Kk k Rk kK kk Kk k kK KR KK K R Ok Kk Kk Rk Kk ke Ok Kk Kk Ok k Kk Ok Approved For Release 2000/08/09 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000600450020-1

HE WAS TOLD THAT THE COMMITTEE HAD RECEIVED NO INFORMATION IN THIS REGARD FROM MINOBORONY, THE KGB OR OTHER AGENCIES INVOLVED. REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GENERAL STAFF REFERRED THE AUTHOR TO THE USSR ACADEMY OF SCIENCES' SECTION ON PROBLEMS OF APPLIED SCIENCE. NIKOLAY PRUDNIKOV, 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 OBEZLICHIYE (DE INDIVIDUALIZATION), IS MENTIONED. IT 15 RECALLED THAT IN 1986, A SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE INFORMED THRE 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 DIRECTOR AKIMOV WAS AWAY ON A BUSINESS TRIP. YE. ALEKSANDROV, CORRESPONDING MEMBER OF THE USSR ACADEMY OF SCIENCES AND A SCIENTIFIC OPPONENT OF AKIMOV'S, SENT THE AUTHOR A REPORT OF THE CENTER FOR UNCONVENTIONAL TECHNOLOGIES. ACCORDING TO THIS DOCUMENT, THE CENTER IS ENGAGED IN RESEARCH OF LONG DISTANCE PRODUCTION OF MEDICAL BIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOPHYSICAL EFFECTS ON TROOPS AND THE POPULATION, USING TORSION RADIATIONS; AND ALSO IN RESEARCH OF MEDICAL BIOLOGICAL PROTECTION OF TROOPS AND THE POPULATION AGAINST EFFECTS OF SUCH RADIATIONS, ALEKSANDROV EXPRESSED DOUBT THAT EQUIPMENT CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SUCH EFFECTS CAN BE DEVELOPED. A LETTER WHICH THE EDITORS RECEIVED FROM ALEKSANDROV Is QUOTED, IN WHICH THE SCIENTIST DENOUNCED RESEARCH OP UNCONVENTIONAL FIELDS AS PSEUDOSCIENTIFIC, CITING A DECISION OF THE ACADEMY'S DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY. 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 DEFENSE COMPLEX AND HAS SIGNED AN -. INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON THE NONUSE 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.
