      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
THIS YEAR. THE USSR SUPREME SOVIET'S COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE AND
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-
MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION AS CLIENTS AND SPONSORS OF THIS WORK.
MORE 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
STATE COMMITTEE FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY) WAS IDENTIFIED AS THE
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 T HIS WORK. ONE SUCH PROJECT, WHICH WAS
 CALLED OBEZLICHIYE (DE INDIVIDUALIZATION), IS MENTIONED. IT IS
 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.
