American military psychics stole military secrets of the USSR. without leaving the office

A book has been published in which for the first time the secrets of military parapsychology are revealed, it talks about the battles of American and Russian psychics. The authors of this book are employees of both our and American intelligence services.

What is told in a solid - 500 pages - folio may seem incredible. Society continues to be divided into skeptics, who are sure that there is no parapsychology in nature, and fans of the supernatural abilities of some people. But the special services of many countries of the world have always taken psychics seriously and involved them in their work.

And on the pages of one book, it was possible to bring together unique specialists who once existed on opposite sides of the barricades and did not know about each other's existence. However, in our country, psychics in uniform, who worked for different departments, never crossed paths either in the service or in ordinary life.

Victor Rubel is a talented physicist, mathematician and Doctor of Humanities. He has Russian citizenship, but he has been successfully working in the United States for a long time. In fact, it was he who managed to organize a common work on a truly fundamental work.

Alexey Savin - lieutenant general, doctor of technical and philosophical sciences. Former head of military unit 10003, where they were engaged in combat extrasensory perception in the interests of the Armed Forces, first of the Soviet Union, and then of Russia.

Boris Ratnikov - major general, career counterintelligence officer. He was deputy head of the FSO, headed the parapsychological department in the security system of senior government officials.

The real co-authors, whose memories of their work are among the most vivid in the book, were 5 more amazing people. These are the Americans: Dr. Edwin Charles May, former director of the US government's Stargate psychic intelligence program, and Joseph McMonigle, who was considered the most effective psychic and received the title "Agent-001".

And our compatriots. Major-General Nikolai Sham, who oversaw combat extrasensory perception in the KGB, Colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Vyacheslav Zvonnikov, who headed the training and operational work of psychics in the internal affairs bodies, and Colonel of the General Staff Viktor Melentiev, who dealt with issues of psychophysical security.

All of them in one way or another participated in the "psy-wars". What it is? This is when a person with extrasensory, that is, supersensitive abilities, foresees the development of events that are important for the defense of the state, or tries to penetrate the secrets of hostile states through time and space.

Parapsychology can be treated differently. And psychics in uniform generally look out of the ordinary. Meanwhile, both the special services and the armed forces use the extraordinary abilities of people quite actively, although they do not advertise it in any way.

Many have seen the American sci-fi movie Stargate, but few people know that in the United States for a long time there really was a secret scientific project under the exact same name, funded by the CIA and military intelligence. Its leader for 10 years was Dr. Edwin May. The participants of the project attracted to work in their interests those who had the gift of clairvoyance, or far-sightedness, as this phenomenon is called in the United States. They were used to search for dangerous criminals associated with extremist groups and missing people, including those abducted by terrorists. The team assembled within the framework of the project was very competent, it even included Nobel Prize winners. This shows how seriously across the ocean they took what many consider charlatanism.

There is only one example of the successful work of the Stargate team. Here is how Edwin May himself told the RG correspondent about this:

"In 1979, one of the far-sighted "saw" the outlines of an unusual submarine, which was built in the USSR, in Severodvinsk. The submarine was striking in its size and unusual design, it looked like a catamaran. A secret report was drawn up. But neither in the CIA nor in the intelligence agency the US Department of Defense, which was the initiator of the Stargate project, did not believe the psychics. However, they continued to insist that the USSR was preparing to launch the world's largest nuclear submarine. The exact date of the launch was even named. Nevertheless, the then the head of the military intelligence department, Robert Gates, said indignantly that such a submarine simply could not exist.

Only one person listened to the statements of the farsighted - Naval Intelligence Officer Jake Stewart. He had the authority and gave the command to change the orbit of one of the satellites so that it flew over Severodvinsk at the time indicated by us. In the USSR, they did not know about this and, in full confidence that there were no foreign satellites from above, they brought the "Shark" into the canal from the factory building. American intelligence officers managed to get pictures that were considered sensational."

In our country, full-time psychics were and are in all law enforcement agencies. A particularly interesting and large unit was the secret unit 10003 at the General Staff, first of the Soviet, and then of the Russian army. It was formed at the direction of the Chief of the General Staff, General of the Army Mikhail Moiseev.

The staff included the most talented military specialists with large-scale and extraordinary thinking. It is interesting that the almost mystical and "pseudo-scientific" parapsychology, with which it all began, occupied by no means the main part in the topics that the employees of military unit 10003 dealt with. Today we can say that in Soviet times they worked against NATO. There were truly fantastic battles between ours and American psychics. New types of battles in the United States were called "psy-wars".

Later, military unit 10003 actively participated in antiterrorist operations in the North Caucasus. Its employees helped in the planning of many military operations and in the search for camouflaged militant bases. By the way, a lot of bloodshed could have been avoided. Psychics in uniform determined and brought to the highest authority how to nip the brewing conflict in the bud. A plan was proposed for overcoming the emerging crisis. Alas, the Supreme Commander ignored their recommendations. And here psychics were powerless.

All this and much more is covered in detail in the book.

Among the co-authors of the book, which would not be an exaggeration to call scientific work, is Valery Kustov, a psychic, a healer. He has neither scientific nor high military ranks, but it is emphasized that it was he who "provided the energy-information support of this project."

The most prominent psychics in the world worked on the book "Psi-Wars". But the memories of various extraordinary people did not add up for a very long time. For several years it was not possible to find the format in which the memoirs of American and Russian intelligence officers, Interior Ministry officers and KGB generals would organically fit together. Among the Russian participants in the project, the idea to involve Valery Valentinovich Kustov somehow ripened by itself. They all knew him very well. And he was not in the project initially for one reason - he was never on the staff of the special services. The book was conceived as a story about the work of special units of the KGB, the CIA, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the ministries of defense of our country and the United States.

However, when a modest civilian psychic was invited to the company of generals and colonels, things immediately moved forward, and very soon the book was formed and prepared for publication. Somehow, a new collaborator managed to break an interesting but dead-ended project out of a stalemate.

So who are you, Dr. Kustov?

And he is really a doctor, a healer, although he has a technical education. Secondary medical received later. Has an official license to practice medicine.

Born in Nalchik on the main Soviet holiday on November 7, 1949 in a purely Soviet family. Mom, a teacher, was from an ancient family, they say, even royal, and dad is a simple Russian driver. It was not born very strong. I was sick a lot. At the age of two, due to a mistake by a nurse who injected the wrong medicine, ...died. He came out of clinical death by a miracle, and then everything began to take shape miraculously. Perhaps his child's soul for a short time went to another world in one capacity, and returned in another.

The attention of the KGB was attracted by chance. He studied at one of the North Caucasian universities. And I could not concentrate on passing the next exam. The teacher asked harshly: why are you, a young man - a successful student, behaving somehow inappropriately? Valery answered: I look at you, a civilian, and I see an officer in the uniform of a major in front of me. The teacher silently took the record book, put a mark and escorted the student out of the classroom, where, fortunately for both of them, they were alone.

The very next day Kustov V.V. set up surveillance. Recorded all contacts, listened to conversations, read letters.

Many years later, he learned that the teacher, who heard the "nonsense" of the student, almost stopped his heart. The fact is that he really was an undercover KGB officer - even those close to him did not know who he really was. The day before, he was given another rank - major, and the secret officer was obliged to be photographed in an officer's uniform with new shoulder straps for personal business. Few knew about it. And then some student actually reveals it. There was something to be excited about.

The State Security Committee then enlightened the student like an x-ray. They did not find anything discrediting and gradually began to involve them in solving "unsolvable" problems. And he did it successfully. So successful that in 1982 the KGB sent him for a medical examination to establish the nature of extraordinary abilities. Kustov was checked for several months. The luminaries of official medicine were shocked by the real possibilities of this man, but they could not scientifically explain them. But especially for the KGB, they gave a certificate that Valery Valentinovich was a real psychic, and not a charlatan. It says: "The new principles of diagnostics and treatment applied by V.V. Kustov have been verified and give a match with traditional methods, and in some cases shed light on the picture of the disease in more detail."

Indeed, Valery Valentinovich helped many people get rid of diseases that could not be cured by traditional methods accepted in medical practice. But besides this, he had and still has the ability to somehow see the essence of hidden events. And even manage their development.

With the help of Kustov, a whole sabotage network was uncovered at one of the factories where the most important elements of nuclear power plants were produced. Defects were introduced into finished products that could turn into serious disasters. The special services could not find out in any way who was doing this and, most importantly, who directed the attackers. Kustov did not name anyone by name. He simply gave a direction in which to conduct an investigation. After that it was all a matter of technique. Probably, someone received high awards and advanced in the service. Valery Valentinovich was simply thanked.

In those days, when there was a war in the North Caucasus, Kustov predicted a terrorist attack on one of the most important southern railway junctions. According to him, he went into the office of the head of the station, who needed some kind of medical assistance. And he "saw" how terrorists plant explosives in the most vulnerable place. I told the station manager about it. He reported to the FSB. There, the information "from Kustov himself" was treated extremely seriously.

They set up surveillance in the indicated place and after some time (on the day marked by Kustov) they caught red-handed saboteurs who really tried to mine the turnouts. According to the Chekists, they could not even imagine that the militants would prepare well for carrying out a terrorist attack on a fairly busy section of the railway. If the sabotage had succeeded, there could have been a lot of victims.

Surprisingly, working for many years under the supervision of an all-powerful organization, Kustov never became either its full-time or freelance employee. And after 1991, Valery Valentinovich was no longer officially involved in work. Of course, he did not refuse some kind of help, especially if his old acquaintances, who had long been in reserve, asked for it. But there was an opportunity to devote himself almost entirely to healing, which Valery Valentinovich has been doing with great pleasure for the past quarter of a century.

By the way, the psychics themselves continue to be treated by him, which are described in the book "Psi-Wars". In particular, Major General Nikolai Sham, who headed the KGB investigation team that worked at the site of the explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and received a huge dose of radiation there. So, he believes that Valery Kustov saved his life first of all, since there was a situation when the doctors only shrugged.

He also treated Juna Davitashvili. The famous psychic at first reacted to a stranger with distrust. But very quickly I felt that the energy really comes from him, which is felt by people endowed with supersensitive abilities. There is a photograph of Juna before her communication with Kustov and after the sessions. Two different people.

The relationship between Valery Valentinovich and the hierarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church is interesting. The Church, in principle, does not favor psychics, believing that their abilities are from the evil one. But one of the most respected Orthodox elders, after talking with Kustov, said: "Your gift is from God, heal people."

There was such a case. In the Arkhangelsk region, the Church of St. Lazarus was built. And the creators of the temple really wanted to have a particle of the relics of the saint in it. His relics rest in Cyprus, in one of the Orthodox monasteries.

There were several official requests from the Russian Orthodox Church. The Cypriots gently refused. Then the archbishop of Arkhangelsk and Kholmogory Tikhon, once again going to the island, took Kustov with him. This was agreed with the then Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy II.

And it happened, one might say, a miracle. An agreement was concluded on the transfer of a particle of the relics of St. Lazarus to the Russian Orthodox Church.

Is it any wonder that the book about military psychics came about thanks to the "energy-information support" of this project by a simple Russian-Ossetian healer without general's epaulettes on his shoulders.

Two Russian generals and two of their overseas counterparts decided to talk about what has been the strictest secret for many years.

Disputes around the concepts of "parapsychology" and "extrasensory perception" have been going on for many decades. What is behind this: real phenomena, the fruit of an inflamed imagination, or the result of skillful hoaxes? There is no clarity, although psychics have long been at the service of law enforcement agencies in different countries.

Many have seen the American science fiction film and television series Stargate, but few people know that in the United States there really was a secret scientific project under the exact same name for a long time, funded by the CIA and military intelligence. Its leader for ten years was Dr. Edwin May. About what the project participants were doing and how the idea arose to write a book about military extrasensory perception, Edwin May tells in an exclusive interview with RG.

Russian newspaper: When and why did the Stargate project come about?

Edwin May: In the early 1970s, the task was set to use the phenomena associated with extrasensory perception for military intelligence, and a little later we tried to determine their physical nature. The focus of our attention was the so-called distant vision, which is close to your concept of clairvoyance. With the help of far-sight, Soviet military facilities were studied, the possibilities of extrasensory communication were explored. Our employees were involved in the search for dangerous criminals and missing people, including those abducted by terrorists. The team assembled within the framework of the project was very competent, it even included Nobel Prize winners.

In my opinion, research should have continued, but the project was closed. The reason is simple: the main enemy, the USSR, has disappeared. The Pentagon and the CIA decided that there was no strategic need for the Stargate.

RG: Can you give specific examples of success in the field of vision?

May: One of the most powerful psychics in the United States worked on the project - Joseph McMoneagle, by the way, one of the co-authors of our book. In 1979, while performing our operational mission, with the help of long-range vision, he “saw” the outlines of an unusual submarine that was being built in the USSR, in Severodvinsk. The submarine was striking in its size and unusual design, it looked like a catamaran. To the credit of the Soviet military and intelligence services, today we can say: they classified all the work on this project so well that the United States really did not know anything about the construction of the nuclear missile carrier "Akula" (we later called it "Typhoon").

We compiled a report, but neither the CIA nor the DIA (once the US Department of Defense), to which we were directly subordinated, did not believe us. Nevertheless, our experts continued to insist that the USSR was preparing to launch the world's largest nuclear submarine. McMoneagle even gave the exact date of the descent. The National Security Council was more than skeptical of our report, and the head of the Office of Defense Intelligence, the current Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, indignantly declared that such a submarine simply could not exist. Only one person listened to our statements - Naval Intelligence Officer Jake Stewart . He had the authority and gave the command to change the orbit of one of the satellites so that it hovered over Severodvinsk at the time indicated by us. In the USSR, they did not know about this and, in full confidence that there were no foreign satellites from above, they brought the "Shark" into the canal from the factory building. We got truly sensational pictures. This was our triumph, but we were not given high awards, the authorities tried to hush up their shame (they didn’t believe it!) And quickly forget who was the first of the American intelligence officers to see the Soviet Shark.

RG: When did you first meet with your Russian colleagues, why did you decide to write a book and who are its authors?

May: I first visited Russia in the mid-1990s. And then he met with General Alexei Savin, a leading Russian specialist in combat extrasensory perception. With the permission of our military leadership, we discussed the possibility of joint work in the fight against international terrorism. Everything, it would seem, was going to ensure that yesterday's enemies began to work together against a new world threat. However, when the concept of the joint program was formed, we met with a lack of understanding and unwillingness to accept it - both in the power structures of Washington and Moscow. Unfortunately, the long-imposed image of the enemy has not completely disappeared, and the feeling of distrust between our countries remains.

As a result, now we are working on another, purely humanitarian project, and we started it only when General Savin retired, and the department of the General Staff, which dealt with combat extrasensory perception, was disbanded.

After numerous meetings and discussions, we came to an agreement that the general public should know what military psychics were doing in their closed laboratories. Moreover, the CIA officially declassified the Stargate program. Similar works have been declassified in Russia.

I brought in the former intelligence officer Joseph McMoneagle, whom I mentioned, to work on the book. Savin invited General Boris Ratnikov, who was engaged in extrasensory perception in the Federal Security Service, as a co-author.

To coordinate the project, we invited Victor Rubel, a specialist in psychology and sociology, an author of books on related topics, who speaks both languages. So we have five co-authors who, it seems to me, were able to write a fascinating and at the same time quite clear non-fiction book called "Psi-Wars: West and East" about problems that still seem beyond the understanding of many.

Dossier "RG"

Edwin May began his scientific career working in the field of experimental nuclear physics and in 1968 he defended his doctoral dissertation on this topic at the University of Pittsburgh. In the early 1970s, he became interested in parapsychological research and took part in the state-funded Stargate program, which conducted psychic spying on Soviet military installations. May took over the program in 1985 and served as its director until it closed in 1995. Today, Dr. May is Director of the Palo Alto Basic Research Laboratories and Scientific Director of the Palo Alto Cognitive Research Laboratory, as well as a member of the Board of Directors of the US Parapsychological Association.

A sensational book about parapsychological research at the Pentagon and the USSR Ministry of Defense has been prepared for publication

The United States has declassified one of the most mysterious military programs of the last century. For about twenty years, the CIA and DIA - the Defense Intelligence Agency - conducted intensive research in the field of combat parapsychology. Almost at the same time, similar work was carried out in the USSR Ministry of Defense. And they were also top secret.

1. "Stargate"

Disputes around the very concept of "parapsychology" have been going on for many decades. What is it: a real phenomenon, the fruit of an inflamed imagination, or the result of skillful hoaxes? Meanwhile, psychics have long been at the service of law enforcement agencies in various countries. The most structured and truly scientific research in the field of combat extrasensory perception was conducted in the United States. And the most ambitious - in the USSR and Russia. Moreover, in our country, parapsychologists were not only the object of study, but also practically used their abilities during the period of hostilities in the North Caucasus. Now the active phase of parapsychological research in the interests of the military, both here and overseas, has been suspended. "Magicians in uniform" retired, which made it possible for former enemies to meet at the desk. The initiator of the creative cooperation between Russian and American specialists was one of the leading US scientists in the field of nuclear physics, Dr. Edwin May.

Many have seen the American science fiction film and TV series Stargate, but few people know that in the United States for a long time there really was a strictly secret scientific project under the exact name. For ten years, the nuclear scientist Mei was its leader. In the late seventies, the US military decided to deal with the parapsychological capabilities of a person and find out how to use them for their own purposes. The military-scientific project "Star Gates" was opened.

The so-called far-sightedness was placed at the center of the study, which is close to the Russian concept of clairvoyance. The Americans were exploring the possibility of psychic communication with their submarines.

They tried, again with the help of long-range vision, to determine the exact coordinates of Soviet submarine nuclear missile carriers in the world's oceans. Specialists from the "Stargate" were involved in the search for dangerous criminals and missing people, including those abducted by terrorists. The team assembled within the framework of the project was very competent, it even included Nobel Prize winners. Sometimes American clairvoyants managed to achieve truly fantastic results.

One of the most powerful psychics in the United States, Joseph McMonigle, worked at Stargate. In 1979, he "saw" the outlines of a completely unusual submarine, which was being built in Severodvinsk. The boat was striking in its size and unusual design, similar to a catamaran. A report was drawn up, which was even considered at one of the meetings of the US Security Council. And no one believed military parapsychologists! The fact is that in the USSR they were able to classify all the work on the Typhoon strategic project, within the framework of which the giant Shark submarine missile carriers were built, so well that neither the intelligence, space, or electronic intelligence of the United States knew anything about it. The top leadership of the United States simply did not allow the idea that there were secrets in the Soviet Union that were unknown to their agents. It cannot be that some kind of psychic visionary saw what the classical intelligence services missed.

Nevertheless, military parapsychologists from Star Gates continued to insist that a giant submarine was being prepared for launching in the USSR.

McMoneagle even saw with his amazing mind the exact date of the descent. And the time was chosen very well by the Soviet shipbuilders - not a single American reconnaissance satellite hung over Severodvinsk during a certain period of the day and the Americans could not fix the descent.

In the end, Naval Intelligence officer Jake Stewart listened to the importunate predictors. He had the appropriate authority and gave the command to change the orbit of one of the satellites so that it hovered over Severodvinsk at the time specified by McMoneagle. In the USSR, they did not find out about this and, in full confidence that there were no alien satellites in space, they took the Shark out of the factory building into a specially built channel. The Americans received truly sensational pictures. It was a triumph for Star Gates. The National Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, the DIA and other US intelligence agencies threw all their efforts into collecting information about the boat and the Soviet project. And soon enough, almost everyone in the United States knew about the Typhoon.

It can be assumed that the Pentagon understood: in terms of strategic nuclear missile power, this Soviet program turned out to be the most effective at the end of the 20th century, and the United States could do nothing to oppose it. And, perhaps, it was the Americans who made efforts to ensure that the Typhoon was never fully implemented. And what was nevertheless built and put into operation began to be physically destroyed even under M. Gorbachev and was finally finished off under B. Yeltsin.

Psychics from the Stargate also helped to find the wreckage of a highly secret Soviet reconnaissance aircraft that crashed in the jungles of Central Africa.

The value of the aircraft, or rather, its equipment, for the US intelligence services was enormous. However, the Americans had only an assumption that the disaster occurred somewhere in the Congo or in Zaire. A search using specially equipped aircraft and helicopters turned up nothing. Then military psychics were involved in the work, who quickly determined the coordinates of the fall of the air reconnaissance aircraft with an accuracy of up to a kilometer. And the American technicians got at their disposal the most modern and very secret Soviet equipment. At that time, the Ministry of Defense had not yet dealt with extrasensory perception in our country.

According to Edwin May, the results obtained within the framework of Star Gates turned out to be very interesting, research had to be continued, but the project was closed in 1995. The reason is simple: the main enemy of the United States on the world stage, the Soviet Union, has disappeared. And the Pentagon decided that there was no need for the Stargate.

Edwin May first visited Russia in the mid-1990s. And then he met with General Alexei Savin, a leading Russian specialist in combat extrasensory perception.

With the permission of the Pentagon, the possibility of organizing joint work in the fight against international terrorism was discussed. Everything, it would seem, was going to ensure that yesterday's enemies began to work together against a new world threat. However, when the concept of the joint program was formed, both May and Savin met with a lack of understanding and unwillingness to accept it, both in the power structures of Washington and Moscow. Why - even psychics do not know ...

2. "Fabulous" military unit

Special services of the USSR became interested in parapsychologists in particular and extrasensory abilities of a person in general almost immediately after the end of the Civil War. All this is well known.

However, it was only at the very end of the 1980s, already at the end of the Soviet period of our history, that it was possible to somehow structure research in the field of parapsychology for the first time. This was done by Alexei Savin, who served in the General Staff and had the rank of captain of the 1st rank. By order of the then NGSH, General of the Army Mikhail Moiseev, military unit No. 10003 was formed with a staff of 10 people. Savin was appointed its commander. Part of it was so classified that the General Staff itself learned about its existence in the late 1990s. Jokingly, this part was called "a thousand and three nights", implying that they are doing something fabulous and frivolous.

The structure was built in such a way that Savin reported directly to the Chief of the General Staff, only before him did he report on the work done and the results obtained.

It was financed by military unit 10003 under a special, again, secret program, which was personally developed by the Minister of Finance of the USSR, and then Prime Minister Valentin Pavlov. The annual budget allocated for scientific research was four million US dollars. Well, the range of topics that Savin and his subordinates were engaged in was much wider than in the American Stargate project. In addition to purely science, many applied problems were solved.

In particular, as Savin recalls, in the early 1990s, extrasensory information was received about a possible explosion of one of the atomic objects in Glasgow. It could be both a power plant and a nuclear warhead. Information was cunningly brought to the British. Strange as it may seem, they believed, checked, and indeed, literally at the last moment, they were able to prevent a very serious man-made and environmental catastrophe for themselves and all of Western Europe. Military psychics predicted the earthquake in Kamchatka in 1991.

Savin managed to develop a special technique and introduce into the troops, one might say, mass training of psychics. Nowhere else in the world did anything like this. After all, it is known that the superpowers of a person are the lot of the elite! However, Aleksey Yuryevich was able to theoretically substantiate and prove in practice that any naturally normal person can discover and develop extrasensory abilities. Special courses were created in a number of military universities, and they managed to train hundreds of future officers with parapsychological capabilities. Alas, these courses did not last long. Too smart officers of the Russian army were not needed. And then the war in Chechnya began.

Savin's specialists immediately said that the conflict could be nipped in the bud and offered their own plan for overcoming the Caucasian crisis. Boris Yeltsin ignored their recommendations.

At the beginning of 1995, Major General Savin - he was given the rank of general on land, not sea - arrived in Chechnya with his group. Military psychics were engaged in reconnaissance there, assessing current events, anticipating future ones, and participating in interrogations of captured militants. They worked non-stop in the North Caucasus for two years.

There was one very interesting case. Parapsychologists have determined that in one of the villages in the building of the school there is the headquarters of a large armed formation of Dudayevites. The school was bombed. And when special forces landed in the village cleared from the air, they found the corpses of women and children in the ruins of the school. Savin was shocked: this simply should not have happened. A serious investigation began. And it turned out that all civilians died from bullet wounds, and not from bombs. The militants somehow learned about the impending airstrike in advance. They shot a group of women and children in a neighboring village, brought their corpses to the school building, and left in advance. But in Ichkeria, a rumor immediately spread about the atrocities of the federals, who bombed schoolchildren and their mothers. In general, military unit 10003 worked very well in Chechnya.

It could have been better, but, according to Savin, in a senseless and merciless war, people who can see to the root turn out to be not only the most unnecessary, but also dangerous for top management.

However, in 1997, the "fabulous" military unit, which had the status of a department of the General Staff, was transformed into a special department, that is, the status of the unit was significantly increased. Savin is awarded the rank of lieutenant general, the range of tasks he solves is significantly expanded. In their research, his subordinates come up with results that are truly beyond the bounds of the blinkered human mind.

In addition to the military unit of General Savin, the GRU waged a real psychic war in the North Caucasus. A special group of super-gifted military intelligence officers was created, led by Colonel Sergei Vishnevetsky. And they got into the thick of a very tough and brutal paranormal war that was fought in Chechnya in the 1990s and early 2000s. The fighters of Vishnevetsky very quickly mastered non-contact hand-to-hand combat. It is believed that its secrets are available only to the dedicated elders of the Shaolin monastery. However, there is, or rather, there was also the Cossack Spas. Those who owned his secret could see the flight of a bullet and cut through a hundred heavily armed enemies with one checker. Vishnevetsky's scouts calmly laid on the ground a dozen fighters who knew karate techniques, armed with knives and pistols, without even touching them with their hands. Sometimes a close look was enough to make the attacker lose consciousness. They say about evil people: milk turns sour from his black eye.

In the group in question, one kind-hearted person with a look of his blue eyes and a little effort of will turned water into ... an acid solution.

He was checked by very skeptical experts in one of the medical research institutes in Moscow. The water became acidic, and there was no explanation for this.

The scouts fired on the move from the Makarov pistol in bursts, releasing the entire clip in a second - 8 bullets. And all the bullets went into the growth target. Trained shooters could hit in absolute darkness without infrared sights in the face of the enemy, for a moment illuminated by the flash of a lighter and even the flame of a cigarette. Vishnevetsky's group fought in Chechnya in full. Thanks to her, many leaders of independent Ichkeria and bandits, no less dangerous than Basayev, were destroyed. There were such, they were simply, as they say, not "promoted".

You can believe it, or you can laugh, but the GRU intelligence officers are sure that for a long time the "black magicians" of the Near and Middle East actively helped the Caucasian separatists. The same Shamil Basayev had a very powerful "cocoon" of energy protection. Previously, they would say that the enemy was plotted. There are many examples of Basayev's amazing vitality. Once, the GRU spetsnaz tracked down a wounded militant leader, who, after amputation of his feet, was transported on a horse. A helicopter was pointed at the target, a guided missile hit the horse exactly. The unfortunate animal was torn to shreds, and Basayev escaped with a slight concussion and scratches. Only after the bioenergy protection of Basaev, like Gelaev, was hacked, they were physically destroyed.

The situation changes with the onset of the year 2000. There is a new president in Russia, and a new minister soon appears in the Ministry of Defense, and then a new NGSH. At the end of 2003, by order of Yuri Baluyevsky, Savin's department was liquidated. At the beginning of 2004, Alexey Yuryevich himself resigned. As for the secret reconnaissance group, which had to be cherished and supported in every possible way, it was disbanded almost simultaneously with the liquidation of military unit 10003. Colonel Sergey Vishnevetsky himself died suddenly from a very rare disease. Companions believe that his death is connected with the black energy of those very mysterious "magicians of the East" with whom he fought.

Military unit 10003 existed for about fifteen years. The overseas Stargate project worked a little longer. The results of their activities are somewhat similar, in many ways they differ. But one thing unites the former leaders of secret psychic programs: the time of wars, in their unanimous opinion, has passed on the planet. The world of the 21st century must be built not by force of arms, but by force of spirit. They also try to say this in their book Psi Wars: West-East.

To all that has been said, one can object: troubled times always and everywhere give birth to charlatans. The end of perestroika and the entire 1990s is one of the most troubled periods in the history of Russian history. And many consider extrasensory perception charlatanism. However, the time that has become a decline for us, for the United States was a time of rapid development and recovery. But it was then that they took up parapsychology with all academic seriousness. If we talk about Russia, then it can be assumed that it was military psychics who saved the ruined Fatherland from final collapse. In ways known only to them, they led the country in the last decade of the twentieth century literally on a razor's edge. Now "magicians in uniform" were not needed.

What happened next. When General Savin retired, and the department of the General Staff led by him, which was engaged in combat extrasensory perception, was disbanded, the idea was born to write a book. As its future authors considered, the general public should know about what military parapsychologists in the USA, the USSR and Russia were doing in their secret laboratories. Especially since the CIA has officially declassified the Stargate program. Partially declassified and similar work in Russia. May brought in former visionary spy Joseph McMoneagle to work on the book. And Savin invited General Boris Ratnikov, who was engaged in extrasensory perception in the Federal Security Service, as a co-author. The coordinator of a very unusual international project was Dr. Victor Rubel, a specialist in psychology and sociology, the author of a number of books, who is fluent in Russian and English. The final version of the manuscript, which has five co-authors, entitled "Psi Wars: West and East" was approved and submitted for printing. The book should appear almost simultaneously in the US and Russia.

Special for the Centenary

On the Russian and American sides, we want to thank many heroes whose names cannot be named. We are full of gratitude and thanks to the many people who have made great efforts to make possible the work of both the Russian and American psychic programs - scientists, military, government officials at all levels, psychics and countless others.

Among those who can be named, we express special gratitude to the Deputy Chairman of the KGB (retired) Major General Nikolai Sham, who wrote the preface to this book and talked a lot about his work in the field of extrasensory perception and new technologies; Major General Georgy Rogozin, Professor Vyacheslav Zvonikov and psychic Tofik Dadashev, who gave special interviews for this book; we are grateful to army generals Mikhail Moiseev, Vladimir Lobov, Anatoly Kvashnin and other chiefs of the General Staff who supported Russian psychic programs in every possible way. We are very grateful to Viktor Melentiev, colonel of the General Staff and psychic, in whose Moscow office our meetings were invariably held and whose consulting firm was invariably helpful to us.

We thank Dr. Gerald Putoff, Russell Targ and psychic Ingo Swann, who were at the forefront of the American psychic program; director of the intelligence unit at Fort Mid, Dale Graff, who invested a lot of effort in its development; as well as Senator and astronaut John Glenn and a number of other senators, congressmen and White House staff who supported her in every possible way. We would like to thank CIA psychic Angela Ford, who gave a special interview for our book.

With special gratitude, we honor the memory of the last Prime Minister of the USSR Valentin Pavlov, who provided great assistance to the Russian psychic program, and Larisa Vilenskaya, a talented psychic and researcher, who did an exceptionally lot to transfer the "psychic bridge" between Russia and America - to connect Russian and American colleagues in this area.

Foreword

We have all heard time and again that the intelligence services and military around the world have a special interest in parapsychology. However, there is little real information about this. Yes, and it cannot be otherwise. After all, parapsychology, which opens up extrasensory methods of obtaining information and influencing people, is considered by the military and intelligence as an opportunity to create new unique types of weapons and as a means of waging a new type of war - extrasensory wars. Therefore, work in this direction has been and is being carried out over the past decades in many countries. And above all, in the USSR / Russia and the USA, which until recently represented the poles of geopolitics.

In Russia, the most extensive work in the field of military extrasensory perception and parapsychology was carried out by the Expert Analytical Directorate of the General Staff, known as the mysterious military unit 10003, under the leadership of Lieutenant General, Doctor of Technical and Philosophical Sciences Alexei Savin. A lot was done in the special services that emerged from the 9th Directorate of the KGB - the Federal Guard Service and the Presidential Security Service - under the leadership of Major Generals Boris Ratnikov and Georgy Rogozin, who held the posts of first deputy chiefs of these services. In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, parapsychological research and operational extrasensory work was headed by Colonel of the Internal Service, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Vyacheslav Zvonikov.

The most ambitious in the United States was the Stargate program, conducted by the CIA and military intelligence from 1972 to 1995. Its main task was the use of extrasensory perception for military purposes, primarily the use of far-sightedness to obtain information about the military facilities of the USSR. The director of this program for the last ten years of its existence was Edwin May, Ph.D. in physics. And the most successful psychic of this project was the professional intelligence officer of the highest category, Joe McMonigle, officially listed as Agent 001.

Regarding the material presented, I would like to make a few general remarks. Both in the Soviet Union and in the United States, in the field of parapsychology, civilian research did not differ significantly in direction or level. Scientists set the same goals, relied on the same principles, used similar equipment, and the results were similar. With regard to military research, there has been some difference. In the United States, a significant emphasis was placed on working with psychic operators and far-sightedness, i.e. on remote psychic reading of information about important objects of a potential enemy, as was clearly defined in the Stargate program.

In the Soviet Union and Russia, although similar work was being done, there were two significant points that made it different. Firstly, the physical presence of psychics during hostilities, for example in Chechnya. This surprised the Americans, because it is not necessary for the most extrasensory perception. However, there were still good reasons, and General Savin will tell about them. Secondly, considerable attention was paid to the hardware for working with the psyche and unusual ways of influencing material objects - what later became fashionable to call "psychotronic generators" or "psychotronic weapons". This was partly facilitated by the pressure of the Marxist-Leninist ideology, for which the hardware of influence was more "material" than the "mystical fluids" of psychics. Hardware developments were carried out in many secure research institutes, and were also offered by civilian scientists. True, it should be emphasized that 90% of these proposals, research and development did not give significant results and were most often the result of errors, scientific incompetence or simply deceit. As for the remaining 10%, these were and are completely unique developments, often ahead of their time and laying the foundations for the technology of the future. They will be discussed in this book and will continue in the next.

Since the beginning of the 90s, in connection with perestroika, a change in ideology and a change in the political system in the USSR and then in Russia, a large-scale military program began to research and develop unusual abilities in people. It was conducted by a special Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces. Here, under the leadership of Lieutenant-General Alexei Savin, a large complex of research work was carried out in various areas of energy-informational influences, traditionally attributed to parapsychology and extrasensory perception. Training was organized for groups of military psychics for operational work in various branches of the armed forces, primarily in the navy and aviation. Military psychics were used for operational purposes during armed conflicts in Chechnya and other "hot spots". But most importantly, unique methods of developing extraordinary abilities in a person, qualitatively increasing his intellectual and spiritual level, which have no analogues at the present time, were developed and carefully tested in practice.

On December 10, the presentation of the book took place at the Rossiyskaya Gazeta media center "Psi Wars. West and East", simultaneously released in Russia and the United States. Generals, colonels, doctors of sciences gathered at one table - real psychics, who have achievements in intelligence activities and the fight against international terrorism.

These are people whose very existence and the intricacies of their professional activities were known to few even in those countries and those departments for which they worked.

Among those present: Edwin Charles May, last director of the US government's Stargate ESP program; Angela Ford, former CIA agent, psychic; special types of weapons, Nikolai Sham, Major General, former Deputy Chairman of the KGB of the USSR, Vyacheslav Zvonikov, Colonel, headed the research of extrasensory perception, as well as the training and operational work of psychics in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Viktor Melentiev, Colonel of the General Staff, President of the Association of Independent Analysts, Forecasters, experts, Valery Kustov, psychic, psychologist, specialist in energy information diagnostics, Victor Rubel, physicist and psychologist, director of the Project Development Department at the Basic Research Laboratories in Palo Alto, California.

The authors of the book on military extrasensory perception spoke about many interesting aspects of their work, which were top secret not so long ago. For the first time, the name of the program, which has been carried out by the military department since 1989, was announced - "Phoenix".

"On the recommendation of the KGB, personally General Sham, the chief of the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense, decided to create a group in our military unit 10003," said Lieutenant General Alexei Savin.

Its main tasks are the search for talented people with extraordinary abilities and their use in the interests of public administration, military administration, intelligence, counterintelligence, and so on.

The second direction is the search for the reason for the nature of these talents, so that you can either teach other people and, of course, surpass our American opponents.

The third direction is the extensive training of military personnel and representatives of the special services, primarily the KGB, who are capable of providing comprehensive information about a person, about the location of a target, about the places of combat patrols of American submarines, and so on.

In the end, when the methods were created and the "machine" started working, the training of officers began in one of the academies of the Armed Forces, which went on for almost twenty years - the educational institution was disbanded two years ago. But even during this time, students of the academy managed to work hard for the security of the country.

So, the group of Lieutenant General Alexei Savin worked very actively in Chechnya in the nineties, when an anti-terrorist operation was going on there.

His people helped open many caches with weapons, discover minefields that no technical intelligence could identify, and most importantly, the shelters of the militants.

For this, his psychics were awarded high government awards. Since 1992, not only men, but also women from our group have taken part in almost all hot spots. They have a large number of orders, medals, state and military awards.

A representative of the weaker sex with very strong qualities is Valentina Sidorova. She had her own specifics, she came to us from the KGB and caught spies. She caught well, well-deserved awards adorn her costume.

As the former CIA agent, psychic Angela Ford, clarified, there were many more men than women in the Stargate American psychic program similar to Phoenix in the American Stargate program. But in the Russian program, women worked to a greater extent.

"The Russian side's vision is that women's psychic abilities are better," Ms. Ford said. "When I started working in this army unit, I was a civil servant. But I already had abilities."

Edwin May, the last director of the US government's Stargate psychic intelligence program, spoke about how his charges located Russian submarines, for example, and named their best agents.

Psychic Joseph McMonigle was handed a satellite photograph of a building, essentially just the roof of a building that was located in Severodvinsk. This photograph was in a double sealed envelope.

Intelligence officials said: "This is our problem today, what can you say about this?" Just a sealed envelope. And the answer to this simple question was expressed in the 157 pages of the report that he wrote.

Joe McMoneagle said it was a huge double-hulled 180 meter submarine that was two to three times the size of a conventional World War II submarine.

It has a zonal propulsion system. Some of the details were so accurate as if they were copied from the real thing. He saw that a submarine of a completely unusual design was being produced, which had not previously been used in the construction of submarines.

These were innovations made in Severodvinsk by the design bureau that produced these submarines. And Joseph McMonigle at that moment was filming information in California, sitting indoors. All he had was a double sealed envelope in front of him with a photograph of the roof!

According to Edwin May, if the United States, together with Russia, created a common anti-terrorist group with the involvement of psychics, many troubles could be avoided and ISIS (an organization banned both in the United States and Russia) could not grow to its current size.

Colonel of the General Staff Viktor Melentiev said that it was possible to avoid the plane shot down by Turkish troops, because psychics predicted losses.

“I would like the ministry to still predict when hostilities take place,” Viktor Melentyev said. “We have people who are engaged in extrasensory perception, and this extrasensory perception gives a picture.

Far-sightedness also determines the possibility of shifting or neutralizing actions or the selection of some specific temporal spatial parameters so that there are no such large losses.
