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
COMMITTEE
ON SCIENCE AND
THIS
YEAR.
THE
USSR
SUPREME
SOVIET'S
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'
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION AS CLIENTS AND SPONSORS OF THIS WORK.
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
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.

SEEKING
MORE
INFORMATION
ABOUT
UNCONVENTIONAL FIELDS RESEARCH AND
THE
PURPOSES
OF
THIS RESEARCH, THE AUTHOR SPOKE TO AN ASSOCIATE OF
THE
USSR
SUPREME SOVIET'S COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGIES AND
SUBSEQUENTLY
WENT
TO
THE ARMED FORCES' GENERAL STAFF.
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
RECALLED
THAT
IN 1986, A SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE INFORMED THE
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
OF
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.
THE AUTHOR SUGGESTS THAT THE ACADEMY
OF SCIENCES
ORGANIZE
A
ROUND
TABLE
DISCUSSION ON
THE TOPIC OF
PSYCHOLOGICAL WEAPONS, WITH ALL SIDES IN THE CONTROVERSY REPRESENTED.
