 Title:  BIOFIELD RESEARCHERS' EQUIPMENT,
 SUPPORT FROM COUNTRY'S LEADERS NOTED
 Primary Source:  Moskovskaya pravda,

 Abstract:  The article gives an account of
 work which associates of the USSR Academy
 of Sciences' Institute of Radio Engineering
 and Electronics (IRE) in Moscow did on
 research of human biological fields and
 noncontact massage (the so-called "D" phe-
 nomenon) from 1982 to 1985.*  This project
 is the topic of two recent articles by
 academician Yuriy Gulyayev and Professor
 Eduard Godik in Vestnik Akademii nauk SSSR
 (Bulletin of the USSR Academy of Sciences).
 ..The first article-appeared in issue No. 1
 of this journal for' '1990.  The second
 article is entitled "Dynamic Mapping of
 Physical Fields and Radiations of Biologi-
 cal Subjects."  The principal 'biological
 subject' of Gulyayev and Godik's experi-
 ments was Dzhuna Davitashvili.  Leading
 Communist Party and government officials
 who supported this controversial direction
 of research are identified, reportedly for
 the first time, in an article by Yevgeniy
 Velikhov, vice-president of the USSR
 Academy of Sciences.  This article appeared
 in another magazine which was published
 recently in Moscow.
 It is recalled that Gulyayev and Godik
 began their research with active support
 from Doctor of Technical Sciences Nikolay
 Konstantinovich Baybakov, who headed the
 USSR State Planning Committee (Gosplan) at
 that time; academicians Guriy Ivanovich
 Marchuk and Anatoliy Petrovich Aleksandrov,
 who were then chairman of the State Commit-
 tee for Science and Technology and presi-
 dent of the USSR Academy of Sciences,
 respectively; and academician V. A. Kotel-
 nikov, head of IRE.  Velikhov relates that
 Baybakov backed the project over the objec-
 tions of the minister of health and the
 president of the Academy of Medical Scien-
 ces.  It was Baybakov who proposed to Mar-
 chuk that a state program be drafted for
 the study of physical fields of persons
 with extrasensory capabilities.  Baybakov
 also persuaded Communist Party general
 secretary L. I. Brezhnev that the proposed
 research was worthwhile, as a result of
 which-the project was given the go-ahead
 and Davitashvili received permission to
 reside in Moscow.  Two research groups were
 formed -- one headed by Godik at IRE and
 another under Rakhimov's direction in the
 physics school of Moscow State University.
 Demonstrations which the Moscow phys-
 icists conducted with an infrared imager
 and a computer reportedly convinced Bayba-
 kov, Aleksandrov and Kotelnikov that Davi-
 tashvi1i possessed infrared-detection
 capabilities and could generate heat in
 parts of a patient's body by means of
 radiation from her hands.  An order signed
 by Aleksandrov and the USSR minister of
 health was subsequently issued.  This order
 called for associates of the USSR Academy
 of Sciences to continue research begun by
 the Moscow physicists-and-for scientists of
 the medical academy to begin studying the
 "D" phenomenon and testing its possible
 therapeutic effects.  Gulyayev and Godik's
 group received a unique set of equipment
 with which measurements of physical fields
 could be conducted through seven channels.
 This equipment could also detect electric
 and magnetic fields; infrared, radiother-
 mal, optical and acoustic radiation; and
 chemical fields involved in the vital
 activity of a biological subject.  The
 group claimed to have demonstrated the
 existence of a nonspecific sensory channel
 other than vision and hearing, using this
 equipment.  Physiological information and
 long-distance effects could be transmitted
 via this channel.
 The author relates that the group's
 work was interrupted in April of 1985,
 before more of Davitashvili's abilities
 could be studied.  The project's suspension
 is linked to the death of Brezhnev and
 subsequent changes in the leadership of the
 Communist Party.  How the country's present
 leaders regard biofield research is not
 known to representatives of the Academy of
