TEXT: *U* EXTRACT. IN A 21 APRIL 1993 LITERATURNAYA GAZETA INTERVIEW,
YEVGENIYE ALEKSANDROV OF THE VAVILONA OPTICAL INSTITUTE REVEALED
THAT EXPERIMENTS CONDUCTED IN THE FORMER SOVIET UNION (FSU) ON MIND
ALTERING WEAPONS WERE LARGELY A HOAX INTENDED TO MILK MILLIONS OF
RUBLES FROM THE KGB AND THE MILITARY. ALEKSANDROV, IN COMMENTING ON
THE VALIDITY OF PSYCHOTRONIC WEAPON RESEARCH, STATED: THE WHOLE
THING WAS A GRANDIOSE SNOW JOB, A MONSTROUS SQUANDERING OF THE
NATIONAL WEALTH, THIS WORK, FORTUNATELY FOR HUMANITY, DID NOT HAVE
ANY REAL CONTENT; IT WAS AN IMITATION OF WORK, SCIENCE LIKE
SHAMANISM. THE MILITARY AND KGB WERE SIMPLY TAKEN FOR A RIDE.
*U* SINCE THE 1970'S, AS MUCH AS 500 MILLION RUBLES MAY HAVE BEEN
SUNK INTO RESEARCH PROGRAMS AIMED AT PRODUCING WEAPONS THAT WOULD
TRANSMIT SIGNALS TO MODIFY THE BEHAVIOR OF SOLDIERS. SUPPOSEDLY,
SOLDIERS AFFECTED BY THESE TRANSMISSIONS WOULD LOSE THEIR WILL TO
FIGHT, BECOME FATIGUED, OR EXPERIENCE HALLUCINATIONS. PROPONENTS OF
THESE PROGRAMS CLAIMED THAT THESE PSYCHOTRONIC WEAPONS COULD EVEN
KILL ENEMY TROOPS.
