The Interagenc scientific-technical center "'Vent" (forme% the Center for Unconven- tional Technologies of the USSR State Com- nittee for Science and Technology) was . Identified as the country's Hchief" firml engaged in developments in the area of un- ,conventional fields. According to unveri- fied data from A. Akimov, director of this -center, the cost of unconventional-field - :projects has been 23,million rubles in Min- ,oborony's sector alone, while the overall -amount which has been allocated for such research through all of the different chan- nels is as great as 500 million rubles, Seeking more information about uncon- wentional-fields research and the purposes 3f this research, the author spoke to an associate of the USSR Supreme Soviet's Com- mIttee on Science and Technologies and sub- sequently went to the armed forces' General Staff. He was told that the committee had received no information in this regard from ~inoborony, the KOB or other agencies in- wolved. Representatives of the General 3taff referred the author to the USSR Acad- E!my of Sciences' Section on Problems of Ap- )lied Science. Nikolay Prudnikov, deputy :hairman of this section, said that It ;Ometimes orders projects to be carried out ~or the General Staff, but he disclosed no Jetails of this work. one such project, -thich was called "Obezlichiye" (de-individ- jalization), is mentioned. It is recalled :hat in 1986, a scientific research Insti- :ute informed the academy's section that :he institute was prepared to carry out :his proJect. An associate of the section who knew more about the proJect was not tvallable for"questioning, however. At the 'Vent" center, the author was told that di- ector Akimov was away on a business trip. Ye. Aleksandrov, corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences and a sci- .-ntific opponent of Akimov's, sent the au- .hor a reportof the Center for Unconven- -ional Technologies. According to this document, the center is engaged in research of long-distance production of medical-bio- logical and psychophysical effects on troops and the population, usin torsion radiations; and also in researcg of medi- cal-biological protection of troops and the population against effects of such radia- tions. Aleksandrov expressed doubt that equipment capable of roducing such effects can be developed. A Mter which the edi- tors received from Aleksandrov is quoted, In which the'scientist denounced research of unconventional fields as pseudoscien- tific, citing a decision 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 agencies for large sums. Scientists who hold opposing views of unconventional-fields research reportedly Include V. Kazmacheyev, who is believed 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 Acadgmy of Sciences, who has put forward a number of.theories; and other academy figures, who have published works abroad'. T e author suggests that the Academy of Sciences organize a roundtable discussion on the topic of psychological weapons, with all sides in the controversy represented.
