He fools too isolated since the life in the state is or,,, :,r;izad to
the effect that it is conuidelrJ'd as Citizen's duty to display his
agreement with the r4gime at every occasion, and the citizon:: watch
one another 's life at work as well as in privacy if it complies
with the adopted standards.
/d/ The communist state power has, in comparison with the
democratic states, far wider possibilities to motivate t:.e individual.
As a matter of fact, evory citizen is for more limited i.,. his ri;rhtao
Jr.(! ti:e st ;to power has to its disposal a number of motivating $tie.-
uli that fulfill those wia hea which, in the free world, t:aave been
recognized self-evident long ago, so that people in the free world
d* not even fool their necessity. So for instance, in adlition to
the always efficient financial reward, there are other stimuli such
as permission to make a trip abroad, preferential supply of scarce
,goods, or perhaps an amendment of a persk~n's secret "personal reco: d".
Organization of Parapsychological Research In the U.3-4;.R.
In order to understand the situation in Russian ;arapsycholoy;
properly, we must point out, first, aroncral necessary co:Iditions
that must be fulfilled in the U.S.S.R. before any field of research
can procpor.
/1/ The first condition is that the usefulness of such an
endeavour for the coa;.'runist society is recognized. Otherwise the
persons engaged in research would be persecuted by state authorities.
This condition bas been fulfilled in the U.S.S.R.
/2/ The second condition is the sufficient financing of re-
segrch. All investments in research in the U.S.S.R. come :fVom state

Thus from the point ofi t? ,"inrcir thep r4sea7rcka, iusa$ian
parapsychologists work on three.eelas.;'.
/a/ A few indivic3uels /'peer, +ut. to air twenty/ work on
IN, co~
problems of parapsychology, tna r 73t~or$el r i.r:oluded .ii to the re-
search program of some ,resaatarc 04.4ituition. Their research die xaet
called "Parapsychology" !ao as ttt 4evignate it as a new separate
branch of science/, but they wb ri cam problems that beiar ; to the
sphere of parapsychology on thri me level as problems of at r.
branches are beir:g salved: The asei tiste, are paid forte wrk,
and they work in specialized labk ` tori ae equipment hou
modest - is nevertheless su is b t ;/the equip t of 3avaretaries
has been considerably, improved in recent'' yea r,41 Pon ix:sta:nce the
members of the Lenin ;rad group work it those ce djtions ara 9 avid tt2y
also scientists engaged in secret research.
/b/ Some other Scientists working in laboratories of their
institutes are not paid explicitly for their work in part=psychology,
but nevertheless, they work with support and in laboratories, of their
institutes - but rather from private initiative, and in addition to
their prime'research tasks. This situation prevails in the research
of finger-reading.
/c/ Very many individuals work from their own initiative and
in rather difficult conditions: They devote themselves to Parapsychol-
ogy in their free time left after their full-time work in other
fields /sometimes considerably different ones/, and they pay necess-
ary research expenses from their own income. Of caux-ee, thie brings
about considerable difficulties for them, since they have ro other
irco=es than those from their employments - and such an income is
ative dangerous.

formality indicatin4; to the most that psrapaycLoi.cgy not tozr.
acknowledged an independent branch of science. The ft:ct is that
Vasiliev received sn official permission of his superiors to sty t
the parupsycholo ;ical research /in the frame of ph yeic c Z, of 1.;._;r.er
nervous activity/ and that he ori;enized a group of re&cc:rch 'tior,ers
to work on problems of parapsycholog y. This success has tee:.
achieved at a price of a great personal sacrifice, and the fight
for pars sy cholo y has brought for Vasiliev many diSrLte8 and diffi-
culties, and has embittered the last years of his III,..
During world II, Vasiliev was entrusted with vt riouz rae-
search tasks of military significance, and evidently enjoyed a full
confidence of soviet authorities. According to sore ir.forr..ers, a
has received a larger sum of money at some tilde aeforc his death
/but not before 1962/ to equip his laboratory. At thin time he '.v3e
probably entrusted with definite research tasks in the, field o:
parapsychology /some of which could have been secret already at
that time/. It aeez;s likely that he had not time to tL
tasks to the satisfaction of his superiors.
Vaciliev,a death itself is rather mysterious. d s:zff v. i.'.

hospital again for a cold and suspected pneumonia. 4*1o. was recover-
ing again, was already to be dismissed, when he died probably from
an acute heart attack. He received a sudden message /nobody tcld
me whist, one/ which made him very angry, ancin consesuertce of a
heart stroke he died within one hour.

Or. the whole, about 10 persons are engaged with problems

At the opportunity of my visit there in June,1957, I was ; ho'".r. aft
expe: iu~ent in which a sensitive electrode detected electrical i-
pulses in the excited nerve from t he distance of a few cc ti :etres,
or the chances in the electrical. field in the proximity of f'ty
insects. The visit to the laboratory and the discussions ith its
staff, however, gave me more questions than answers. Let me point
out a few striking facts:
In spite of the evident Vivid interest of all ata.1 members
.in my visit, it was nearly exclusively only th,: director, i'.l.va3-
aev, who put questions to me. This indicates the conclusion that
the questions were prepared in advance, and that the ord_'.,.ary, staff
me::bers had little freedom in contacting the visiting, for eigrer;
thi, conclusion is further supported by the fact that in spite of
a corcial welcome I had no opportunity to meet individuv:, atU17f
:nc bars sepcrately, but instead, the whole discussion,.,n. "official"
in the presence of the whole group. When the staff members a?pc e
ab; ut their work, they have mentioned only the rep, ictr :t; on of
electric fie:.du, as if this were the only thin;; they were wor ki;g,
on. emut in fact, from the whole staff apparently only twc: re.bera

First, it was the desire to learn as Much as possible r,aus.,
the parapsycholo ica1 research 'in China and in LUA. As concerns
China, the lack of inrormations'is well understandable, since the
Chino-Russian conflict is severely felt in the U.:.$.l. be reaer, rca
in China was barred from the outside, there are no pr'ecise' infor.:r-
ations, and yet rumours transpired that pa rap i'cholo,;ic4 research
was rapidly developing in China /perhaps at the Pekir,,& cniversity,

there is the greatest desire to learn how the parapsyct:aloical
research is being financed - especially whi,.:h projactt and tow ut

also observed that they are very curious to learn wheti.cr sari to
what degree parapsychological research is incorporated into the

I was able t.otitan c ing Jindicat ons tal tfyi that
secret research in paipsycl is going . o in the. S, g it. , but
171,
I am unable to assess ~si ex ie arey.
Besides the }i lications +d eecre~ es arch goin ; on in Le-
ningrad, I came across teatimdziiea that as early as,. In 1960 the
psychiatrist ?.I. it d was engaged in secret. parapsyeholoa;ical re-
search. I met him 413 the occasion of ,y first visit to
Moscow in 1961. At that tick` he der a very, conspicuous i spressi.on
by his taciturnity `and ~extreme reluctance to speak shout his work.
He did not even tell me the nom' the institute where ho, 'Was
work n,:g. Whe4directlyasked he "answered evasively by 'saying that
he had gone over to an another iinstitute recently. Later or., 'he
did not answer ray leters. At that time, I found an explanation for
such a behavi~* i t the positionthat he was in no dray enthusi-
astic to work in parapayc:holo y or, that he vas, in Oo:sequence of
distrust or soma political purge, removed to such an inferior jot,
he is ashamed to avow. This ti , hot ever I : have lest: nad ttaat al-
ready at that time he was wore ? on parapsycho1dg1ca1 problems
in. some secret research institution. I am not sure it he still
works there. According to one information, Lirza has not fulfillei
the tasks he had been given, and he came over from t hat secret ir.-
stitution to a civilian one. Most probably he is working; in a pub-
lic hospital now.
An another indication of a secret parapsycholo:';ca1 research
can be found in repprts, about, Russian apace research. shortly after
V.l'ereehkova and ?.V.aykovsky have completed their space f1ic,hts
some pages from `'their diary i been published with records of -

Under ;.anczareki's auspices, his. pupil K.Jach ooi pled a d .ploxn
thesis with a theme close to par psychology. But L.srcza; ski is o?::
now, and in addition, has many duties in his physicist'; prefessior,
and therefore, does 'not work in perapsycholo&,y ar,r t$orCer The same
applies to Jach who has still sore interest, it is true, but.doe~
not continue experimental work, Since conditions in llol~ri.d &.-e not

Szulc, seems to have a deep interest in parapsycr,olo;.y. .,y ow^i~;inal
profession a biochemist, she teaches at the College for _.rody Culture
i.r: 7;ars:w now. From her own initiative /possibly motivated by he r
interest in parapsycholoty/ she has passed a university coos
hypnosis which she uses now in the treatment of alcohol- ?in'- rs.
She made no public statement about parapsychology but sh is - from
all Polish scientists I know -'Most likely to make some t.ositive
