Abstract:
The article reports on activi-
ties of the Construction Research and De-
siqn Association
(Proyektstroynauka)
.
which
is utilizing experience with construction
of military and space installations.
Pro-
vektstroynauka"
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
hiqh-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
Frumin showed the author of the
a
cle slabs of
si li gran,
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 20
agreements for creation of joint enter-
prises and facilities,
Including
a Soviet-
Bulgarian enterprise,
for production
ot
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,
ot
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

another inventor followed)

ery,

Sleep

a Distance by^Means of Radio Waves,
in
the Soviet UnionW General -Colonel
of Avi-
ation Vladimir Nikitovich Abramov rendered
practical
assistance
in formalizing this
discovery.
Marshal
of Aviation Yevgeniy
Yakovlevich Savitskiy supervised this
work.

G.
Shchelkunov,

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,
