A month after the accident, a commission was set up under Rear Admiral A. G. Kurik to Investigate the incident and organize clean-up o erations, Minoborony subsequently drafte@ and approved a whole plan of design, technical and training mea- sures aimed at making nuclear submarines safer 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 special reactor- rechargin zones to be created at mainten- ance faclylties. 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 monitorin? of local radiation conditions, more carefu medical monitoring of persons who were exposed to radiation, stricter measures to prevent the spread of radlocontamination from the fall- out zone and waste burial places, and allo- cations for financing such undertakings. Radioactivity reportedly has spread already to nearby Konyushkovo Say and also to Abrek and Razboynik bays. The author mentions that specialists of the Taiga Geological Association In Khabarovsk recently conduct- ed a detailed inde endent radiological ex- amination of the p@ant and the settlement, and results of this survey are now being processed. Local officials think that a large-scale clean-up program is needed. 1.

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 be un to appear in the press.* Among the Mal? 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 (Sioenergoinformati- 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 psycholo I- cal terror which is now occurring," saig 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 showld 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 trciuble 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.

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 edttors: Specialists have acknowledged that psychological weapons exist. And the information media, which have long been a tool for Ideological brainwashing of the masses, are probabl one of the most potent varieties of suc@ weapons. But information about the exis- tence also of technical "Psift 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" (re@istered.by the State Committee on Invent ons and Discover- les 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. MT71S-6 The Dail_,Y707, October 18, 1991, po 21 colo 2 (SNAP 911125) Title; R. A.
