RUSSIAN PEOPLE'S DEPUTY IGOR BEZRUKOV COMPARES THE OPERATIONS OF THE KGB WITH THOSE OF SECURITY SERVICES IN THE WEST, WHICH HE SAYS ARE SUBJECT TO FAR MORE STRINGENT CONTROLS THAN TILE KGB. THE KGB DENIES EVER USING METHODS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION, BUT THE U.S. EMBASSY IN MOSCOW SOME YEARS AGO USED SPECIAL SHIELDS OVER ITS WINDOWS AS A PROTECTION AGAINST BUGGING AND SUCH RADIATION. THE JOURNALIST'S ATTEMPTS TO INTERVIEW RESIDENTS OF THE BLOCK OPPOSITE, 18 NOVITSKIY BULVAR, WHERE SOME SPECIAL EQUIPMENT WAS DISCOVERED AFTER A FIRE, WERE UNFRUITFUL. INTERVIEWED AT THE RUSSIAN SECURITY MINISTRY, DEPUTY MINISTER ANDREY BYKOV, WHO IS IDENTIFIED IN THIS POSITION BY A SCREEN CAPTION, SAYS: "NEITHER THE FORMER STATE SECURITY COMMITTEE OR ITS TECHNICAL SERVICES, NOR THE PRESENT RUSSIAN MINISTRY OF SECURITY HAVE EVER ENGAGED IN OR DEVELOPED ANY SUCH MEANS, NOR HAVE THEY ANY PLANS TO DO SO." BYKOV DENIES THAT THE ALLEGATIONS ARE BASED ON FACT.

TILE OSTANKINO CREW THEN VISITS THE ISTOK SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION ENTERPRISE AT THE MOSCOW OBLAST TOWN OF FRYAZINO, A PLANT ENGAGED IN MILITARY PRODUCTION AND UNTIL RECENTLY SECRET. BLIZNYUK INTERVIEWS ACADEMICIAN NIKOLAY DEVYATKOV, CONSULTANT TO THE ISTOK GENERAL DIRECTOR, WHO HAS FOR MANY YEARS WORKED ON MICROWAVE GENERATORS FOR MEDICAL USE. DEVYATKOV, SURROUNDED BY EQUIPMENT INSCRIBED AS MICROWAVE THERAPY APPARATUS, EXPLAINS TILE ORIGINS AND USES OF MICROWAVES.

HE SAYS HE HAS NEVER WORKED ON INSTRUMENTS WHICH AFFECT HUMAN BEHAVIORAL FUNCTIONS. AN EMPLOYEE OF THE RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY'S SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE, HOWEVER, INTERVIEWED ANONYMOUSLY, SAYS THAT WORK WAS INDEED DONE ON PSYCHOACTIVE WEAPONS, BUT FOR USE IN THE TYPE OF WARFARE CHARACTERISTIC OF WORLD WAR II. THE PROGRAM ENDS WITH A VISIT TO THE WORLD SPIRITUAL UNIVERSITY, WHICH IS NOW OPERATING IN RUSSIA USING DIFFERENT MEANS OF WORKING ON THE MIND FOR DIFFERENT ENDS.
