by phone, claims defector
THE SOVIET UNION is perfecting a psy-
chic device that murders from a distance
and a hypnosis technique that can be used
as a weapon to kill with a telephone call,
reveals a leading Russian scientist who
defected to the West.
Larissa Vilenskaya, an electronic special-
ist who was a top lecturer and theoretician on
parapsychology in the U.S.S.R., and worked
inside a super-secret laboratory at the
Academy of Sciences in Moscow, says the
killer device greatly magnifies ESP powers.
"It allows ordinary people - to perform
'mind over matter' psychic feats and can be
used to kill at long range," she says.
"I heard of one experiment in which eight
people concentrated on a subject 5,000 miles
away. They succeeded in influencing their vic-
tim to commit suicide.
"I have even used the machine myself. I
went to give a lecture at the Moscow Physical
Engineering Institute and was handed what
looked like a toy," she recalls.
Electronics specialist Larissa
Vilenskaya says the Soviets have a
deadly ESP weapon.
"It was a hand-sized object, about six in.
long and three in. wide,
shaped like a household iron-
ing board. It was made of
gray metal and not very
heavy.
"The researcher was very
proud of it. He put some
matches and the top of a
plastic pen on the table. By
concentrating, he was able to
make the matches move in.
any direction while he held
the instrument.
"Then he gave it to me
and I too was able to make
the matches move. The pen
slid across the table and fell
off at my mental command. I
was astonished."
Vilenskaya, who fled to Is-
rael two years ago, has pub-
lished over 40 scientific pa-
pers in Russian, English, Ital-
ian and German. Today she
uses her specialized knowl-
edge to monitor Soviet psy-
chic research for the Wash-
ington Research Center in
San Francisco.
Vilenskaya's background
was verified by former Army
Lt. Col. Tom Bearden, a nu-
clear engineer who has writ-
ten a book on Soviet psychic
weaponry.
"She was a leading Soviet
research worker who is ex-
tremely knowledgeable
about the psychic work the
Russians are doing," he says.
"She should be listened to."
Revulsion at turning psy-
chic powers against mankind
led her to defect, Vilenskaya
says. "I felt that experiments
aimed at. influencing the
mind and at reading the
thoughts of others were im-
moral," she explains.
. . "It is difficult to assess ex-
actly what the Soviet mili-
tary machine is doing with
these experiments. There are
centers for this research but
they have a curtain of se-
crecy around them."
Nonetheless, she has
learned that the Soviets are
working feverishly on long-
distance hypnosis that kills
with a phone call or a mental
command.
"A hypnotist called Yuri
Kamensky and a :recipient
called Carl-Nikolayev did a
series of experiments be-
tween Moscow and Lenin-
grad, a distance of 420
miles," she says.
"Kamensky imagined
Nikolayev choking and gasp-
ing for breath.
"At that exact time,
Nikolayev reported those
same sensations.
"He even felt the pain of a
blow the hypnotist sent men-
tally.
"And he reported feelings
of anger, fear and confusion;
all the emotions the hypno-
tist had been asked to create
in him.
"The prospects are fright-
ening. It is possible that a
hypnotist could order a sub-
ject to stop his own heart or
to kill someone else," she ex-
plains. :
"Somne Russian experi-
ments showed that although
a hypnotized person will not
shoot somebody knowingly,
he will if he is told that the
target is, say, a tiger attack-
ing him.
"A research center in
Kiev that is working on long-
distance hypnosis has shown
that even mental screening
can't keep the long-distance
thought waves out."
