INCLOSURE D 12 Apr 70
SUBJECT: SOVIET BLOC SCIENCE and PARAPSYCHOLOGY: A SPECIAL REPORT
1. One of the most critical aspects in the development of any new
Technology or field of science,is the caliber of men working in the
field. There are a fairly large number of Soviet scientists (See
appendix A and Inclosure B), investigating various aspects of ESP.
Some of these men are the leaders of less controversial fields of
science. Perhaps a comparative study should be made based on past
experience (The amount of high caliber effort focused on a particu-
lar problem in the past as related to the speed with which the
particular problem was solved) to indicate the approximate time
period remaining to us before soviet science begins to bring the
practical applications out of the field of Parapsychology.
In view of the recent.:- Soviet emphasis on the new type of
energy aspect of the field, it appears that this suggestion would
be timely.
2. Soviet field research directed toward the isolation and investi-
gation of PSI energy seems to have made some significant discoveries
in 1969 in spite -)f some considerable opposition in soviet official
and scientific ci:--cles (All ( ) numbers refer to the bibliography
in Appendix B)':
a. One of tr e most intriguing developments during the year
.vas the seminar of studies and experiments poncerning the tele-
Uneticist Kalugin. i. (Nelya Mikhalova). A film of her capabilities

'c. Western observers report that the best parapsychological
work done in the Soviet Bloc countries was being done in Bulgaria
by Dr. George Lazanov. He has been in.-the field for over 30 years,
He claims high level support and possesses the only nationalized
psychric in the world, Vanga, who is famous all over Eastern
Europe and'everi in t SR;..'? Lazanov has many institues all over
Bulgaria filled with costly Italian instruments and equipment. He
tppears to have free access to Western Parapsychological Journals
nd has travelled through most of Western Europe and recently in
idia.(4).
