Valentina Vasilieva: A Contactee and Artist

The issue features an in-depth interview with Valentina Grigoryevna Vasilieva, a Moscow-based physicist and artist. Vasilieva describes a profound personal transformation where she awakened one night with an overwhelming urge to draw, leading to the creation of over 80 paintings using gouache, pastels, and oils. Her work is currently exhibited in Moscow, and visitors reportedly find her paintings to have a healing effect. Vasilieva attributes her newfound talent to cosmic influence, stating she has always been in contact with a 'Higher Intelligence'.

She recounts experiences from her student days where she absorbed knowledge without diligent study, suggesting information came to her from an external source. In 1989, she experienced a significant shift in consciousness, feeling overwhelmed by unknown emotions and compelled to express them artistically. Vasilieva claims to be in constant contact with the cosmos, which she says monitors her conversations. She invites the interviewer to ask the cosmos questions, which she will then answer.

Vasilieva explains that the purpose of these contacts, whether through automatic writing, drawings, music, psychography, or telepathy, is to elevate human consciousness. She specifically mentions being forewarned in February 1991 about the events of August 19-21, predicting a potential catastrophe or earthquake in Moscow if political tensions were not resolved. She stated that the events were neutralized by 85 percent by cosmic forces, despite the well-prepared nature of the 'putschists'.

When asked about her religious beliefs, Vasilieva, a former party organization secretary for 10 years, revealed a deep-seated faith. She believes in a Higher Intelligence and recounts a childhood event where she was carried to the altar during her baptism, an unusual occurrence for girls, which a priest interpreted as divine will.

She is currently involved in the world's first film based on a script and featuring extraterrestrial civilizations from Saturn and Orion. The film, titled 'Introduction to Infinity', is a project she feels privileged to participate in as a physicist and a believer.

Vasilieva describes her paintings not merely as art but as windows to the cosmos and the Higher Intelligence. Viewers have reported that her works possess qualities akin to miraculous icons, offering a three-dimensional experience and even allowing for communication. She emphasizes that the titles and subjects of her paintings are not her own creation but come directly through contact.

She describes her existence as living 'between earthlings and those entities with whom I communicate,' expressing love for them and their reciprocal love for humanity, which she likens to a parent's love for a child, given humanity's 'childlike mind' in comparison.

Vasilieva explains that the Higher Intelligence chooses individuals for contact based on their spirituality and psychological state, as contact is a difficult process. She warns against a widespread psychosis of trying to 'heal everyone and everything,' asserting that while everyone has bioenergy, true healing involves drawing cosmic energy. She believes that healing occurs when the healer's and patient's vibrations match, and that self-healing is accessible to everyone, a belief she attributes to the cosmos.

Historical UFO Sightings in Tsarist Russia

The magazine presents a historical account of potential UFO sightings in the Russian Empire in August 1914. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a circular telegram to all governors, reporting the appearance of aerial apparatuses, primarily over military supply depots in Kazan, Perm, and Vladimir governorates. The telegram suspected the presence of enemy air stations and requested urgent measures for investigation, including the apprehension of any aviators encountered.

The Military Governor of Semirechye Oblast (eastern Kyrgyzstan) disseminated this information to local authorities. A report from the Tokmak district police chief, dated September 20, 1914, details a sighting by peasants and boys of two aerial apparatuses flying at an altitude of about one verst (approx. 1.1 km) above Tokmak. The objects were described as cigar-shaped, covered in white material, with metallic parts that shone brightly. One was slightly smaller and flew below the larger one. Their movement was described as undulating, with varying speeds and altitudes.

Despite the initial report, the Przewalsk district chief expressed doubt about the possibility of such sightings so far from Germany. However, Military Governor Folbaum urged the Przewalsk district chief to investigate the rumors in Tokmak. The investigation extended to local constables, who were tasked with questioning locals about the direction of flight of these 'aeroplanes' or 'airships'.
