Hany of these <Taims have been published in the Soviet technical and pop- ular literature. Just how far_the Soviets _have_really_gonc. in their ef- forts to Learn about the mechanisms of human telepathy ts_not known, df, the Sovict-reports are even partiy true, and if mind-tosmind thought trans ference can be used for such applications as interplanetary communieartons or the guiding of interplanctary spacecraft, the Soviets have accomplished a scientific breakthrough of tremendous significance. —— — For many years, any attempt to study telepathic phenomena was du- nounced in the Soviet Union as mysticism and idealism. From 1922 to 1959, however, this attitude gradually changed. Official recognition of para- psycholopy as A legitimace science vas prompted to a considerable extent by the Party's recognition of other disciplines which hod previous ly been rejected as-bourgeols idealism (quantum mechanics, che theory of relativity, Bnd cybernetics). tn 1959 Professor Lii. Vasiley published his “Mysterious Phenomena of the, Human Psyche," followed in 1962 by his "Experiments in Mental Sugpestion.’: These two publications caused some surprise among Western scientists, but the nossible military implications, were apparently overjooxed in the West. The first attempt to illustrate the possible — military and intelifgence impact of Foviet research in telepathy and psychokinesis was published in 1972.*° co _— The publication of Vasilev’s first book in 1959 was followed by the appearance of: countless studies by other Sovict researchers and numerous ° articles in the Sovict perindical press: Soviet parapsychology rescarch gained impetus and “sophistication, growing from a single laboratory into a coordinated USSR-wide effort; laboratorics were also established in Czechoslovakia.” funds For research (reported at 20 million rubles {n 1973) are believed to be primarily from military Zourcess TINTS high Level SF support advanced Soviet research on human telepath ar be ond that ol the West and the ESSR became the leader in sponsoring and participating in international parapsycholosy symposiums.

0 0 September 1975 The potential applications of focusing mental influcnces on an cnemy throuph hypnocic celepuchy have surely occurred to the Sovicts. The bulk of recent telepathy research in the USSR has been concerned with the transmissxton of emotional or behavioral {mpulses and che study of physio- logical responses to PK exercises, etc. In thelr exploration of telepathy, they are secking the evenual capability to reproduce and to amplify the phenomena so that control is feasible. Control and manipulation of the human consciousness must be considered a primary goal. DST-1810S-387-75 September 1975 According to both Soviet and Czech researchers, one major advantage of studying psychotronic generators is the reproducibility of their cf- fects; in addition, they can be activated by nearly anyone, with or with- out any special psychic abilitieg. The devices may have other practical applications not related to parapsychology. The Czechs claim than irra- diation of seeds with the energy enhances plant growth, and that industrial pollutants have been precipitated out of water by its action (Fipure 7). These claims may be open to question, since in 1972, Adenek ReJdak, head of the Psychotronic Research Section of the Czechoslovakian Society for Science and Technology, termed the experiments wih plants and water "ineffective." A recent newspaper article,2© quoting Pavlita, reported that his generators could serve as weapons, no further details were given. No information is available on Czech efforts to develop psychotronic weapons, but Pavlita has stated that some forms of his devices can cxert both favorable and unfavorable effects on living organisms, includiny man. tn experiments with snails exposed to the energy from a generator, a scate similar to hibermation resulted. When flies were placed in the gap of a elrecular generator (Figure 6) they died instantly. In another test, Pavlita aimed a generator at his daughter's head from a distance of several yards. Her electroencephalograa (FEG) changed, she became dlzzy, and her equilibrium was disrupted. In their present form and size, Pavliza’s devices could probably exert an effect on humans act only relativeis s. ave range. It is possible that their stze could be enlarped or their energy amplificd, thereby ex- tending their range. I£ the Czech claims for these devices are valld, biolopical energy might be an effective antipersonnel weapon. Te would be difficult. to defend against, since it apparently penetrates most common forns of insulation and its reported effects (changes in beain vave charm acteristics disturbance of equilibrium, dizziness) could result in personality changes or physical disconfort which might alter combat effectivenes. Soviet or Czech perfection of psychotronic weapons would pose a severe threat to eneny military, embassy, or securicy functions.

The Sovict emphasis on the electrostatic and electromagnetic componerts of the energy may play an Imporcant role in the final determination cf the nature of psychical phenomena. This emphasis on enerzetics or irter- action effects has lead to the concept that man must be favestigated as a cocplete,, integrated unit. Soviet and Czech psychotronic research will eventually be applicd to human problems. «As this occurs, the question will arise whether this knowledge and the equipment developed will be used for the enhancemert of human freedom and socicl development, or for regimentation and enslavement. Psychotronics could conceivably play a role in contributing to the survival of the human species; by emphasizing the interconnections between al} living beings, it should help to reduce human aggressive tendencies. By the same token, it could also be applied to increase such aggressive tendencics and it has poverful potential for use as an effective weapon against groups of men and key leaders, The Czechs claim that a direct transfer of biological energy from healthy to diseased or injured muscle is not only possible, but proven. The Soviets do not restrict the possibility of such energy transfer to any one physiological system, but state that biolopical enerpy transfer can be utilized'to relicve human functional disorders of the nervous system, the internal organs, and the mind. In all cases, such medical applications of blological enerpy transter are officlally described as having beneficial results, but this may not necessarily be true. By analogy, conventional medical techniques can be benefictal, but when misapplied, can cause Serious damaye, or even death. By the same token, there can also be “psychic” malpractice, although the Soviets and Czechs are not likely to nublicf{re this facts Both Czech and US researchers have deserilbed Robert Pavitta’s vork vith psychotronte gencrators as possibly the mose importante contemporary development in the field of parapsychology and as a major contribution to the deeper understanding, m mastery, and utilization of blolopical enerpy for human advantage. Just as in the example of direct transfor of bin-~ logical energy fur medical purposes, the use of such devices is not a7 Approved For Release 2003/09/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000500730002-1
