 Title:  EX-SERVICEMEN DEVELOP SPECIAL CON-
 STRUCTION MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGY
 Primary Source:  Krasnaya zvezda, January
 11, 1992, No. 8-9 (20695-20696), p. 3,
 cols. 1-8
 Abstract:  The article reports on activi-
 ties of the Construction Research and De-
 sign Association (Proyektstroynauka), which
 is utilizing experience with construction
 of military and space installations.  "Pro-
 yektstroynauka" is characterized as a high-
 potential organization which is launching
 production on the basis of its own scien-
 tific developments.  This association,
 which has an annual turnover of millions of
 rubles, takes in several joint-stack compa-
 nies and small enterprises.
 A conversation is recorded with Colo-
 nel of the Reserves Dmitriy Arkadyevich
 Frumin, a former military construction spe-
 cialist and now head of the "Proyektstroy-
 nauka" association.  Frumin and colonels of
 the reserves V. Kostin, A. Sytnik and N.
 Marichev are among a number of engineers
 who acquired unique experience in construc-
 tion of fortifications, missile silos and
 structures of space-launch complexes while
 serving in the armed forces, the author
 relates.  For example, concrete capable of
 withstanding a direct hit by a missile with
 a nuclear warhead was developed, using
 high-quality cement and scarce superplasti-
 cizers.  Frumin recalled that while carry-
 ing out a contract assignment at Kapustin
 Yar in 1962, he and his associates achieved
 waterproofness of concrete which was two to
 three times as high as usual.  Experience
 of former military specialists reportedly
 has been utilized in building underground
 structures for civil defense and watertight
 structures for underground services, in
 particular.  Anew process which makes
 sealing of joints unnecessary, permanent
 forms which function simultaneously as fac-
 ing and wet sealing, concrete ten times as
 waterproof as conventional concrete, and
 other materials with special properties
 have been developed in this connection.
 Frumin showed the author of the arti-
 cle slabs of siligran, a concrete which is
 not only comparatively inexpensive but said
 to be capable of withstanding stresses as
 great as those for which missile silos are
 designed.  Siligran is considered a possi-
 ble safe substitute for asbestos cement
 whose use is forbidden in many countries.
 Other potentially profitable developments
 of "Proyektstroynauka" include unique pro-
 cesses for producing building materials,
 and equipment for these processes.  The
 association reportedly has concluded 20
 agreements for creation of joint enter-
 prises and facilities, including a Soviet-
 Bulgarian enterprise, for production of
 finished products.

 Title:  REPORTS OF BIDELECTRONIC-WEAPONS
 TESTING IN 1970s AND 1980s
 Primary Source:  Trud, December 27, 1991,
 No. 298 (21522), p. 4, cots. 1-2
 Extract:  Long ago, Gennadiy Petrovich
 Shchelkunov, a specialist in the field of
 radioelectronics and an employee of the
 scientific production association "Istok,"
 calculated and substantiated an effect of
 long-distance communication without the aid
 of equipment.  This effect consists essen-
 tially of excitation, in cerebral fluid, of
 acoustic vibrations which reach auditory
 nerves.  These vibrations are excited by
 pulsed microwave radiation.  Shchelkunov
 did not attempt to carry out his discovery
 in practice, but he considers it quite fea-
 sible from the technical standpoint.
 In a scrapbook which I leafed through,
 there was a short clipping which read:  "I,
 Ivan Sergeyevich Kachalin, and (the name of
 another inventor followed) made a discov-
 ery, 'A Method of Inducing Artificial Sleep
 at a Distance by~Means of Radio Waves,' in
 the Soviet Union*  General-Colonel of Avi-
 ation Vladimir Nikitovich Abramov rendered
 practical assistance in formalizing this
 discovery.  Marshal of Aviation Yevgeniy
 Yakovlevich Savitskiy supervised this
 work."

 Documents state that "a paper by the
 authors of an invention, 'The Action of
 Modulated Electric and Electromagnetic
 Pulses on Biological Specimens,' was pre-
 sented at the bioelectronics laboratory of
 the USSR Academy of Sciences' Institute of
 Radio Engineering and Electronics (IRE).
 In 1973, the first 'Radioson' (radiosleep)
 unit was developed at military unit 71592
 of the city of Novosibirsk and preliminary
 trials were conducted ...."
 This report bears the seal of an aca-
 demic institute and signatures, including
 those of academician Yu. Kobzarev and Doc-
 tor of Sciences E. Godik.  And, by the way,
 the block diagram of the "Radioson" unit
 includes the same microwave generator whose
 pulses, according to G. Shchelkunov, can
 also evoke acoustic vibrations in the
 brain.
 We were able to meet with a second in-
 ventor.  Ivan Antonovich (he requested that
 his last name not be used), an associate of
 an institute of the USSR Academy of Scienc-
 es, said:
 "Yes, we have developed the 'Radioson'
 unit and have conducted not just one, but
 several successful tests both on ourselves
 and on volunteer soldiers.  But prolonged
 correspondence with the Committee on Inven-
 tions and Discoveries didn't produce any
 results.  They deferred consideration of
 our claim, which was registered as early as
 1974, under a totally unconvincing pre-
 text."
 existed?"
 "No, at that time, this was out of the
 question.  We gave some reports at various
 institutes, including IRE in 1982.  Savits-
 kiy arranged a meeting for us with special-
 ists of a military scientific research in-
 stitute.  They listened with interest, but
 everything disappeared as into a morass

 ~~~~ The total indirect evidence makes it
 possible to conclude:  'psi' weapons are
 technically entirely feasible, prototypes
 of them were tested as early as the 1970s
 and 1980s, and this means that they may
 also exist now.
