In
military superiors ordered its employees to
consider the explosion a thermal one and to
sign a promise not to disclose the "offi-
cial secret." A month after the accident
a commission was set up under Rear Admiral
A. G. Kurik to investigate the incident and
organize clean-up operations. Minoborony
subsequently drafted and approved a whole
plan of design, technical and training mea-
sures aimed at making nuclear submarines
safer to operate, repair and maintain.
particular, this plan forbade repair work
to be done on submarines while they were
afloat, and it called for special reactor-
recharging zones to be created at mainten-
ance facilities. No such zone was created
at the Shkotovo-22 plant, however, owing to
insufficient funds.
Citizens of Shkotovo-22 are said to be
concerned over lingering radioactivity in
the area of the plant, There have been
calls for more thorough monitoring of local
radiation conditions, more careful medical
monitoring of persons who were exposed to
radiation, stricter measures to prevent the
spread of radiocontamination from the fall-
out zone and waste burial places, and allo-
cations for financing such undertakings.
Radioactivity reportedly has spread already
to nearby Konyushkovo Bay and also to Abrek
and Razboynik bays.
The author mentions
that specialists of the Taiga Geological
Association in Khabarovsk recently conduct-
ed a detailed independent radiological ex-
amination of the plant and the settlement,
and results of this survey are now being
processed. Local officials think that a
large-scale clean-up program is needed. I.
Grishan, chairman of the Shkotovo-22 set-
tlement Soviet, has asked that the settle-
ment be officially designated an accident-
stricken population center, which would
make it eligible for additional financial
assistance.

Title: SPECIALIST'S SUGGESTIONS FOR COM-
BATING PHOBIA OVER "PSYCHOWEAPONS"
Primary Source: Trud, October 29, 1991,
No. 252 (21476), p. 4, cols. 5-7
Extract: "It would be tempting to turn
psychological weapons against one's own
people and make millions of them forget
about discontent with the system of social
inequality, about the struggle for peace
and about their civil rights. Oppressed
but joyful, fleeced by monopolies but con-
tent with everything .... Wouldn't this be
the ideal citizen from the point of view of
the ruling circles in countries of the
West?" This what newspapers of ours wrote
quite recently about "MK-Ultra, " an ultra-
secret program of American intelligence
which was aimed at turning people into zom-
bies en masse. But we now know that we
ourselves have not escaped such brainwash-
ing.
Stories about design bureaus at which
instruments have been developed for produc-
ing long-distance effects on the human mind
have begun to appear in the press .* Among
the mail that we receive from our readers
has been a trickle of letters which mention
"individual brainwashing" by mysterious
psychological weapons.
Vladimir Nikitovich Volchenko is a
professor of the Moscow State Technical
University imeni Bauman and deputy chairman
of the USSR Union of Scientific and Engin-
eering Societies' Committee on Bioenergy
Information Processing (Bioenergoinformati-
ka). He took part in preparing materials
on the question of protecting citizens
against psychological terror, for the RSFSR
Supreme Soviet.
· "For such cases to become fewer, peo-
ple must first be rescued from psychologi-
cal terror which is now occurring, " said V.
Volchenko. "The term 'psychological ter-
ror' refers to factors which adversely af-
fect human consciousness. Politics and
Ideology are not the only ones which should
be mentioned. Among the rest are hypnosis
shows at stadiums and on television. After
the trailblazer, psychotherapist A. Kash-
pirovskiy, came hundreds of his followers
who have been giving similar performances.
The trouble is not even that many of these
'therapists' are elementary acquisitors who
are out to make easy money in a hurry.
This is a topic for a separate conversa-
tion. The danger lies elsewhere. Mass
sessions of this kind have a substantial

impact on the hypnotizability of millions
of televiewers; the sessions heighten it.
And this means that the viewers stand a
greater chance of being turned into zom-
bies.
"The runaway UFO psychosis spawned by
television is another example. From let-
ters and in the course of personal conver-
sations, my colleagues on the 'Bioenergoin-
formatika' committee and I have established
numerous cases of psychosis on topics of
contacts with unidentified flying objects.
This is very dangerous!"
"Is there a way of preventing mass
creation of zombies?"
"Of course, and it is known to the
whole world. It consists primarily in ac-
cepting a new thinking model which involves
human spirituality. It must never be for-
gotten that for humanity, the optimal order
of tasks which are accomplished proceeds
from morality and ecology to economics and
politics. In our country, it is just the
other way around at present: politics -- eco-
nomics -- ecology -- morality. Do you think
that we can enter the future with the cart
before the horse?"
From the editors: Specialists have
acknowledged that psychological weapons
exist. And the information media, which
have long been a tool for ideological
brainwashing of the masses, are probably
one of the most potent varieties of such
weapons. But information about the exis-
tence also of technical "psi" weapons has
been confirmed at the same time. The edi-
tors have received a report about a discov-
ery and an invention called "A Method of
Inducing Artificial Sleep at a Distance by
Means of Radio Waves" (registered by the
State Committee on Inventions and Discover-
1es on January 31, 1974). To the best of
our knowledge, a hypnotic radiator has been
built and has been successfully tested in a
military unit.
