TELEVISION FIRST PROGRAM NETWORK IN RUSSIAN AT 1920 GMT ON 17
SEPTEMBER, IN ITS “NOVOSTI" NEWSCAST, BROADCASTS 4 40-MINUTE PROGRAM
ENTITLED "BLACK BOX", DEALING WITH THE DEVICES AND DRUGS USED IN THE
FORMER USSR TO INFLUENCE AND BEND THE HUMAN BRAIN.

THE PROGRAM BEGINS WITH THE PRESENTER NOTING THAT APPARENTLY A
PROGRAM FOR IMPLEMENTING METHODS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL INFLUENCE WAS
SUBMITTED TO THEN PRIME MINISTER RYZHKOV IN 1987. THERE WERE PLANS
TO USE PSYCHOLOGICAL INFLUENCE FOR MILITARY AND ECONOMIC PURPOSES.
THE PROGRAMME GOES ON TO DEAL WITH THE METHODS OF INFLUENCING
PEOPLE'S PHYSICAL AND MENTAL CONDITION, AND EXERTING INFLUENCE ON
THEIR DECISIONS. AN UNIDENTIFIED MAN COMMENTS ON THE WORK WHICH WAS
CARRIED OUT TO IMPLEMENT THIS PROGRAM. HE SAYS THAT A COMMISSION,
CONSISTING OF 20 PEOPLE, WAS SET UP. THERE WERE SIX ACADEMICIANS
AMONG THEM AND A SCIENTIFIC COUNCIL, LED BY ACADEMICIAN KOTELNIKOV,

WAS ALSO SET UP.

HE GOES TO SAY THAT THE COUNCIL DID NOT MAKE MUCH HEADWAY IN ITS
WORK DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS TOTALLY REJECTED BY ACADEMIC

PSYCHOLOGICAL INFLUENCE ON THE ENEMY IN AFGHANISTAN. ANOTHER
UNIDENTIFIED MAN SAYS THAT HIs THEORY HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT IT Is
BETTER TO EXERT PSYCHOLOGICAL INFLUENCE THAN TO SHOOT.

THE PROGRAM GOES ON TO DESCRIBE OTHER RESEARCH PROGRAMS WHICH
HAVE EXISTED AND STILL EXIST. THE PRESENTER DWELLS ON THE DANGER OF
THESE RESEARCH PROGRAMS ENDING UP IN THE HANDS OF THE WRONG PEOPLE.

DOCTOR OF TECHNOLOGY VALERIY KANYUKA, THE FIRST INTERVIEWEE
IDENTIFIED BY CAPTION, EMPHASIZES THAT ONE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL WITH
THESE RESEARCH PROGRAMS. “UNTIL THE WORLD'S STATES REACH SOME
AGREEMENT, UNTIL AN INTERNATIONAL LEGISLATION BANNING PSYCHOLOGICAL
AND PHYSICAL STEERING OF INTELLECT AND INFLUENCING PEOPLE, A
MORATORIUM ON THIS GROUND WORK IS NEEDED," HE SAYS. "INSTEAD OF
NUCLEAR WEAPONS WE WILL GET A NEW FORM OF WEAPONS, A MORE
FRIGHTENING ONE, ONE WHICH HAS A FRIGHTENING NAME -- IT Ts CALLED
ECOLOGICALLY PURE WEAPONS".

KANYUK THEN SAYS THAT INFLUENCING THE HUMAN BRAIN, AND
SUBSEQUENTLY GENETICS, COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. HE THEN
RECALLS CASES OF USING DRUGS FOR POLITICAL MOTIVES. ‘THE VIDEO SHOWS
FOOTAGE AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE ATTEMPT ON PRESIDENT MARCOS OF THE
PHILIPPINES IN MARCH 1967. THE COMMENTARY SAYS THAT GROUND WORK
DONE IN THE FORMER USSR-ALLOWS THE MIND TO BE SPLIT IN TO 13
PERSONALITIES. -

"NAUTILUS", WHICH TOOK PLACE ON 25 JULY. 1959.

VARIOUS OTHER UNIDENTIFIED PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE RESEARCH ARE
INTERVIEWED. ONE, IDENTIFIED BY CAPTION, IS YURIY MALIN, A BIOMEDIC

military supertors 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. Kurtk to investigate the incident and
organize clean-up operations. M{noborony
subsequently drafted and approved a whole
plan of design, technical and training mea-
sures aimed at making nuclear submarines
sefer to operate, repair and maintain. In
particular, this plan forbade repair work
to be done on submarines while they were
afloat, and it called for spectal reactor-
recharging zones to be created at matnten-
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 cond{tions, more careful medical
monitoring of persons who were exposed to
radiation, stricter measures to prevent the
spread of radfocontamination from the fall-
out zone and waste burial placdés, 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 spectalists of the Taiga Geological
Assoctation in Khabarovsk recently conduct-
ad a detailed independent radiological ex-
amination of the plant and the settlement,
and results of this survey are now being
yrocessed, Local officials think that a
large-scale clean-up program ts needed. I.
3yishan, chatrman of the Shkotovo-22 set-
tlement Soviet, has asked that the settle-
nent be officially designated an accident-
stricken population center, which would
nake it eligible for additional financial
assistance,

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 soctal
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-
ng.

Stortes 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 maf} that we receive from our readers
has been a trickle of letters which mention
“individual brainwashing" by mysterious
psychological weapons.

Viadimir Nikitovich Volchenko is a
professor of the Moscow State Technical
University imen{ Bauman and deputy chafrman
of the USSR Union of Scientific and Engin-
eer{ng Socfeties' Committee on Bioenergy
Information Processing (Bloenergoinformatt -
ka).. He took part in preparing materfals
on the question of protecting citizens
against psychological terror, for the RSFSR
Supreme Soviet.

-“Fop guch cases to become fewer, peo~-
ple must first be rescued from psychologi- .-
cal terror which {s now occurring," satd V.
Volchenko. “The term ‘psychological ter-
ror' refers to factors which adversely af-
fect human consciousness, Politics and
{deology are not the only ones which should
be mentioned. Among the rest are hypnosis
shows at stadiums and on television. After
the tra{lblazer, psychotherapist A, Kash-
pirovskiy, came hundreds of his followers
who have been giving similar performances.
The trouble is not even that many of thesa
'therapists' are elementary acquisitors who
are out to make easy money in a hurry.

This 1s a topic for a separate conversa~-
tion. The danger lies elsewhere. Mass
sessions of this kind have a substantial

mpact on the hypnotizability of millions

of televiewers; the sessions heighten it.

And this means that the viewers stand a

greater chance of befng turned into zom-
es,

“The runaway UFO psychos{s spawned by
television is another example. From let-
ters and in the course of personal conver-
sations, my colleagues on the ‘Bloenergoin~
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, {t 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: Spectalists have
acknowledged that psychological weapons
exist. And the tnformation media, which
have long been a tool for ideological
brainwashing of the masses, are probabl
one of the most potent varieties of suc
weapons, Sut information about the exis-
tence also of technical “ps{" weapons has
been confirmed at the same time. The ed{-
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 Oiscover-
{es 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.

Extract: ‘Who could have thought that the
unsuccessful attempt of a coup d'etat would
qive impetus to our investigation of modern
trethods for control of the human psyche?

Viktor Sedletskiy, vice-president of
the USSR League of Independent Scientists
and head and chief designer of the center
“Foyma" of the USSR Assoctation of Machine-
Building Technologists of the international
consortium “Ekoprom," related:

Kiev, I cannot assert that {t was Kiev
qenerators which were used during the
putsch. For such a statement to be made,
the generators! specifications would have
to be known. The fact of their employment
is evident to me, howéver.

“What are psychotropic biogenerators?
They are electronic equipment, which pro-
duces the effect of control in the human
organism. Specifically, the left and right
hemispheres of the cerebral cortex are af-
fected. The so-called project 'Zombie-5'
of the United States is based on this.

“S{m{lar work fs also being conducted
in the Soviet Union (specifically, fn Kiev,
at the Institute of Matertals-Science Prob-
lems, in one of the departments, the labo-
ratory of whitch 1s located in a res{denttal
district of the city, there are biogenerat-
ors that were produced at the ‘Oktava‘
plant). Let me say on the basis of my per-
sonal experience that I am also the author
of a prototype of such a generator, I com-
pleted the work in August of 1990, The ex-
periments were conducted on animals. We
did not conduct experiments on humans.

Now, however, as I have learned, such ex-
periments are under way on highly-paid vol-

views regarding this matter (psychotropic
biogenerators are real and their use for
evil purposes is possible). I did not,
however, get a reply.

“why did the system fail during the
days of the coup? Lacking experience, the
putschists did not know that, in order to
achieve the intended response, the ‘influ-
enced’ soldiers must not be allowed to
merge with the people on the streets,"

Extract: Production of a truly miraculous
material, which came into being through the
cooperation of sctentists of the Ukrainian
Academy of Sclences and industrial special-
ists of the Gomel region, has begun at the
Svetlogorsk production assoctation “Khim-

But one probably couldn't find anyone who
at some time or other wouldn't want to use
an AUT preparation, The sorbent's charac-
teristics make {t possible to use {it in the
form of tablets, granules, dressings or
suspensions in the treatment of the most
diverse human diseases and pathologic con- “
ditions. Burns and trophic ulcers, viral
hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver, al-
lergic and skin diseases, psychoneurologi-
cal disorders «- this fs a far from com-
plete list of ailments which AUT helps to
overcome. But most importantly -- it has
been shown to have high activity in the
treatment of post-radiation syndromes and
in accelerating the elimination of radto-
nuclides from the organism.

‘Abstracts, The article reports on contro-

versy over research of unconventional phys-
{cal flelds and military applications of
this work. Some scientists are said to be-
lieve that psychotrontc generators’ based
on new physical principles can be used for
remote control of people's minds and behav-
for, and that original weapons for this
purpose can be developed on the basis of
generators of “spinor (torsion)" or “micro-
lepton” fields, in particular. Other sci-
entists are highly skeptical of such re-
search.

It is recalled that a resolution enti-
tied “On the Unsound Practice of Financing
Pseudoscientific Research out of State
Sources" was published, together with an
opinion submitted by the USSR Academy of

Sctences' department of general physics and

astronomy, on duly 4 of this year, The
USSR Supreme Soviet's Committee on Science
and Technologies issued this resolution.

It accused several mintstries of spending,
without a proper expert review, half a bil-
lion rubles on pseudoscientific and anti-
sefentific developments involving spinor or
microlepton fields with which scfentists
are already familiar. The resolution named
the USSR Ministry of Defense (Minoborony),
the USSR Ministry of Nuclear Power Engi-
neering and Industry, the USSR State Secur-
ity Committee (KGB) and the USSR Cabinet of
Ministers' Military-Industrial Commission
as clients and sponsors of this work. More
than 20 institutes were {identified as exec-
utors and developers. First on this list

conventional flelds. According to unveri-
‘ted data from A. Akimoy, director of thts
‘enter, the cost of unconventional-field -
irojects has been 23 million rubles in Min-
iborony's sector alone, while the overall
mount which has been allocated for such
‘esearch through all of the different chan-
els fs as great as 500 millton rubles.
Seeking more information about uncon-
entional-fields research and the purposes
f this research, the author spoke to an
ssoctate of the USSR Supreme Soviet's Com-
ittee on Scfence and Technologies and sub-
equently went to the armed forces' General
taff. He was told that the committee had
eceived no information in this regard from
inoborony, the KGB or other agencies in-
olved, Representatives of the General
taff referred the author to the USSR Acad~
my of Scfences' Section on Problems of Ap-

hatraan of this section, said that it
ometimes orders projects to be carried out
or the General Staff, but he disclosed no
etails of this work, One such project, ©
hich was called “Obezlichtye" (de-individ-

of long-distance production of medical-bio-
logical and psychophysical effects on
troops and the population, using torsion
radiations; and also in research of medi-
cal-blological protection of troops and the
population against effects of such radia-
tions, Aleksandrov expressed doubt that
equipment capable of producing such effects
can be developed. A letter which the edi-
tors received from Aleksandrov is quoted,
{n which the scientist denounced research
of unconventional fields as pseudoscien-
tific, citing a decisfon of the academy's
department of general physics and astrono-
my. Aleksandrov went so far as to accuse
state enterprises of producing fake “field
generators" and selling them to defense
agencfes for large sums.

Sctentists who hold opposing views of
unconventional-fields research reportedly
include V, Kaznacheyev, who is belteved to
be working in this direction for the de-
fense complex and has signed an interna-
tional convention on the non-use of “mental
weapons"; A. Veynik, corresponding member
of the Belorussian Academy of Sefences, who
has put forward a number of theories; and
other academy figures, who have published
works abroad, The author suggests that the
Academy of Scfences organize a roundtable
discussfon on the topic of psychological
weapons, with all sides in the controversy
represented.

Title: EX-SERVICEMEN DEVELOP SPECIAL CON-

STRUCTION MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGY
Primary Source: Krasnaya zvezda, January
11, 1992, No. 8-9 (20695-20696), p. 3,
cols. 1-8

Abstract: The article reports on activi-
ties of the Construction Research and De-
sign Association (Proyektstroynauka), which
is utilizing experience with construction
of military and space installations. "Pro-
yektstroynauka" 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
high-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

3

other materials with special properties
have been developed in this connection.
Frumin showed the author of the arti-
cle slabs of siligran, 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 of
finished products.

Title: REPORTS OF BIOELECTRONIC-WEAPONS
TESTING IN 1970s AND 1980s
Primary Source: Trud, December 27, 1991,
No. 298 (21522), p. 4, cols. 1-2
_ 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, of

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 (the name of
another inventor followed) made a discov-
ery, 'A Method of Inducing Artificial Sleep
at a Distance by Means of Radio Waves,‘ in
the Soviet Unions* General-Colonel of Avi-
ation Vladimir Nikitovich Abramov rendered
practical assistance in formalizing this
discovery. Marshal of Aviation Yevgeniy
Yakovlevich Savitskiy supervised this
work.“

Documents state that "a paper by the

authors of an invention, ‘The Action of
Modulated Electric and Electromagnetic
Pulses on Biological Specimens,' was pre-
sented at the bioelectronics laboratory of
the USSR Academy of Sciences' Institute of
Radio Engineering and Electronics (IRE).
In 1973, the first 'Radioson' (radiosleep)
unit was developed at military unit 71592
of the city of Novosibirsk and preliminary
trials were conducted ...."

This report bears the seal of an aca-
demic institute and signatures, including
those of academician Yu. Kobzarev and Doc-
tor of Sciences E. Godik. And, by the way,
the block diagram of the “Radioson" unit
includes the same microwave generator whose
pulses, according to G. Shchelkunov, can
also evoke acoustic vibrations in the
brain.

We were able to meet with a second in-
ventor. 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, because such devices already

4:

existed?"

“No, at that time, this was out of the
question. We gave some reports at various
institutes, including IRE in 1982. Savits-
kiy arranged a meeting for us with special-
ists of a military scientific research in-
stitute. They listened with interest, but
everything disappeared as into a morass

The total indirect evidence makes it
possible to conclude: 'psi' weapons are
technically entirely feasible, prototypes
of them were tested as early as the 1970s
and 1980s, and this means that they may
also exist now.
