Articles and Content

"And yet, they exist!"

This section addresses the skepticism surrounding UFOs and extraterrestrial civilizations, contrasting the beliefs of ufologists and psychics with the doubts of the general public. The magazine aims to present credible information from firsthand sources. It highlights the work of V. A. Kukushkin concerning expeditions to an anomalous zone in the Yaroslavl region, recounting tales of 'green men' visiting peasant homes. The article questions why these mysterious visitors avoid official contact, suggesting they might be observing and studying humanity. It posits that higher civilizations might not be interested in contact with 'unreasonable, aggressive' humans, drawing an analogy to how humans observe frogs or ants. The text suggests that rare contacts are experimental and can be detrimental to human physiology and psyche, leading to sleepiness, altered perception, dizziness, and even loss of consciousness due to the energetic influence of these beings. It also describes alleged instances of humans being taken aboard spacecraft for examination, with wires and sensors attached.

A notable account is that of Grigory Vasilievich Kernosenko from the village of Dmtrova, Ukraine, who in May 1987, disappeared for five days. He described entering a silver flying object, meeting two men in black and a beautiful blonde woman, and experiencing a 'cosmic journey.' Upon his return, he felt disoriented and weak.

The article also touches upon the 'meadow phenomenon' (crop circles), citing instances in July 1990 near Zhiguli and observations in Japan, Australia, and Canada. These circles, with diameters from three to tens of meters, feature plant stems arranged in a spiral pattern. The text speculates about the existence of highly developed civilizations in other dimensions or nearby on Earth, possibly explaining phenomena like the 'snowman.'

Another incident mentioned involves textile workers in Ivanovo who reported seeing tall men in silver suits emerge from a building and disappear. The article dismisses the idea of hallucinations, noting that multiple people with sound minds witnessed the event.

It references the archives of K. E. Tsiolkovsky, whose 'Cosmic Album' contained sketches of spacecraft and cosmic settlements that reportedly match descriptions from modern UFO witnesses published in 'New Scientist.' Tsiolkovsky believed in a conscious, living Cosmos, and that humans are its creation. The article also cites Russian philosopher N. A. Berdyaev, who spoke of irrational forces from the universe shaping human destiny.

"The Residence of Humanoids near Yaroslavl"

This article, narrated by Valery Kukushkin, head of expeditions to an anomalous zone, details his experiences and research. He recounts a 13th trip to the zone, focusing on collecting material for a book. Over four field seasons, 25 people from 25 organizations worked in the area, gathering extensive data. Kukushkin describes the challenging conditions, including swamps, mosquitoes, and wild animals. He mentions encounters with 'green people' and UFOs, drawing parallels to the Strugatskys' novel "Roadside Picnic."

Kukushkin discusses various hypotheses for the anomalies observed, including meteorite impacts, which were dismissed by astronomers due to the scale of the craters and lack of evidence. He also considers the possibility of the Rybinsk reservoir's creation in 1947 contributing to environmental issues. Another hypothesis involves the impact of a comet nucleus in 1890, potentially releasing toxic compounds and causing ground disturbances. The possibility of intelligent beings from other worlds landing in the area was also considered.

He expresses frustration with the lack of financial support from businessmen for his research, questioning their patriotism. He also mentions bringing hay samples from the 'crater' area, where 'chamomile with black petals' were reportedly found, to test for poisons that could enter the food chain. The article highlights the immense task ahead, involving processing folklore expeditions, conducting measurements, and excavating underwater.

"The Earthly Invisible or a Guest from Space?"

This piece details the strange experiences of Valentina Lepina and her family. It began a year prior when her husband and nephew saw a bright fiery ball, an НЛО, hovering over their village. The 'invisible stranger' was described as having human-like weaknesses, such as a fondness for sweets, but also caused money to disappear from locked cabinets and wallets. Some of the money was later found in odd places like a coat pocket or the freezer. Over the year, 300,000 rubles went missing.

Attempts to hide money failed. Valentina could communicate with the entity mentally; it appeared in her dreams as a large cat or a young woman. The entity's presence affected her husband's hunting trips, causing his rifle to misfire and their car to stall. When the family visited Valentina's grandmother in the village where the НЛО was seen, the entity became agitated, especially if relatives who drank alcohol were present, causing disturbances in the house. The villagers began to blame the Lepina family for the anomalies. The entity warned them of an impending arson attempt, and they managed to prevent it, though they couldn't prosecute the neighbor without concrete evidence.

Valentina lost weight due to the stress. A priest dismissed her experiences as demonic influence. The article then introduces Vasily Pavlovich Goch, a healer from Sevastopol, who was conducting a seminar in Yaroslavl. The author suggests Goch might be able to help.

"Spiritualism from the Grave"

This section explores the nature of perception and the possibility of communication with the deceased. It begins by questioning the reliability of human senses, stating that what we perceive is not always reality. The article posits that acknowledging the posthumous existence of the human personality and the appearance of spirits of the deceased is a reasonable explanation for 'spiritualism,' especially when it serves religious or moral purposes, such as exposing disbelief.

A recounted experience from B. Stead involves Lady Georgina, an Irish woman whose second marriage was unhappy. Her husband, Irving F., a talented but dishonest engineer, left her. Two years later, he found her in London, but she refused to reconcile. Irving returned to Italy, distraught. Shortly after, Lady Georgina had a premonition: she heard Irving's voice calling her from outside her window and saw his apparition in her room. A week later, she received news of Irving's sudden death in Italy on the exact date and time of his appearance.

Lady Georgina's letter details her interactions with Irving's spirit. They had previously vowed to appear to each other after death. Irving's apparition was described as sorrowful and unable to speak. She heard his voice calling her name and sighing for weeks. The spirit seemed to calm down only after she learned of his death through official channels. She noted that Irving's voice was unique and that he used to call her from outside the window before entering. The spirit's appearance and communication ceased after she learned of his death.

Another account, "The Child's Vision," describes a young boy named Ernest who, on January 12, 1891, saw his deceased grandmother in his room. He interacted with the apparition, calling it 'my sweet, my dear grandmother,' before it disappeared. The boy had been fond of his grandmother, who had been ill for a long time before her death.

"The Vision of A. S. Pushkin"

This short piece recounts an encounter involving the poet A. S. Pushkin and Count Lansky. While discussing religion mockingly, they were visited by a young man who eloquently defended religion, changing their views. Neither Pushkin nor Lansky knew the visitor, and the household staff confirmed no one entered the room, suggesting a supernatural encounter.

"Why is the Motorcycle Here?"

This article features an interview with Irina Sergeevna, a 40-year-old mathematics teacher in Yaroslavl, who calmly recounts paranormal experiences. The phenomena began years ago when a 'large white woman' appeared outside her fourth-floor window, attempting to strangle her. These occurrences stopped when she moved but resumed in her new apartment. She described seeing a woman in a tiger-print dress with black men behind her, and the woman had hooves instead of feet.

On May 24, 1990, at 4:30 AM, Irina Sergeevna woke up paralyzed, feeling a hand with long fingers appear near her bookshelf. The hand moved along the shelf, and she discerned a chin, indicating a person over two meters tall. The hand was near a photograph of a motorcycle. The entity disappeared, and the paralysis subsided.

Similar events occurred on August 18 and September 18, 1990. On August 18, she felt as if she was being pulled from her bed. On September 18, she felt someone approach her bed, move her, and lie down beside her.

A ufologist, V. Volodartsov, investigated the room and found an energetic anomaly between the bed and a wardrobe. Irina Sergeevna also reported seeing light spots on the carpet in that area. She calmly recounts these events, noting that she has had psychic experiences, including predicting the weather. The article suggests that she might be subjected to psychotropic influence with a religious orientation. The author advised her on Christian protection methods, and Irina Sergeevna reported that the strange phenomena ceased after their conversation, allowing her to sleep peacefully. However, her son later experienced an accident while serving in the army, which the author links to the earlier warning.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the unexplained, presenting anecdotal evidence and personal testimonies of UFO sightings, alien encounters, and paranormal phenomena. There's a clear interest in anomalous zones and the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence interacting with humanity. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, encouraging readers to consider these possibilities while acknowledging the skepticism that exists. The articles often blend personal narratives with speculative theories, historical references, and the work of researchers in the field. The recurring theme is the exploration of the unknown and the potential for a reality far stranger than commonly perceived.

This issue of "Lovushka P'yavola" (The P'yavola Trap) focuses on extraordinary experiences, time travel, and encounters with the unknown, featuring a mix of historical accounts and contemporary reports. The cover headline, "Travel Through Time and Space," sets the tone for the articles within.

The P'yavola Trap: Time and Space Travel

The lead article recounts the baffling disappearance and reappearance of Alberto Gordoni, a craftsman from 18th-century Sicily. Gordoni vanished from his estate on May 3, 1753, and reappeared 22 years later on the same day, completely unchanged. He claimed that only a short time had passed for him, describing an experience in a tunnel of light with strange devices and beings with glass eyes. He felt he had fallen into a "crack" in time and space. His daughter, Rozetta, did not recognize him, and he was confined to a mental institution. After seven years, he recounted his experience to Father Mario, who eventually believed him. Three days later, they both returned to Taconi, where Gordoni's disappearance had been marked as a "devil's trap."

The issue then shifts to more recent events, citing a "Komsomolskaya Pravda" article from August 19, 1990. It details the extraordinary adventure of Tulkyn Aytmatov, an 11th-grade student from Uzbekistan, who encountered a bright red cylindrical UFO. The object split, and a tall being in a silver suit emerged. Aytmatov later found himself in a comfortable chair, experiencing a sensation of floating over a sea with stalagmite-like mountains. He awoke on the road where the UFO had landed, with no memory of the intervening time.

Another case, reported in "Sovetskaya Rossiya" on March 23, 1983, concerns Frank Fontan, a 19-year-old from France. Fontan and his friends were loading a pickup truck when they saw a bright light descend. Fontan drove towards the impact site, but his car stalled near an electrical substation. A glowing ball appeared, and he found himself in a laboratory-like room with white walls and various machines. He recalled intelligent beings communicating with him, explaining that they feared humans would misuse their knowledge. Fontan later reappeared at the same spot, believing only half an hour had passed.

The magazine also includes a personal account from a driver named Arkady, who experienced a strange phenomenon on the Suzdal highway in June 1990. While driving, he heard a hum, the road widened, and his truck seemed to glide effortlessly, losing its engine sound. He felt as if he were sliding over asphalt and could not steer. This experience, lasting about 15 kilometers, left him feeling invigorated. The article notes that similar incidents of vehicles losing control or experiencing unusual phenomena are known in ufology.

Unusual Gift

This section focuses on psychic abilities and healing. It introduces Tamara, who initially sought help from a healer named Evgeny Dubitsky. She believes her telepathic call for help brought her a new awareness and improved health. Her home experienced poltergeist activity, and she developed "cosmic stigmata" – marks appearing on her body. Tamara describes seeing glowing yellow stars and a large screen displaying geometric shapes and faces, including a humanoid with blue skin and a distinct eastern-looking face. She believes she is in contact with "light forces" from the Orion civilization. She now practices healing, performing individual and group sessions, and has students. She was medically tested at a facility in Yaroslavl and has presented her diagnostic methods.

Tamara receives information telepathically and through automatic writing, often about personal matters, but sometimes with broader messages, such as "Believe in people!" She has been in contact with Evgeny Nikolaevich Kashtanov, a scientist studying anomalous phenomena. The article notes that her contact is typical, and she shares her experiences willingly.

Questionnaire for Contactees

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to a detailed questionnaire for individuals who believe they have had contact with non-human intelligences. The questionnaire covers personal details, the nature of the contact, the information received, its effects, and the individual's perception of the experience. It includes questions about psychic abilities, telepathic communication, automatic writing, and the perceived origin and purpose of the contact.

Sun, Air, and Water

This section highlights the teachings of Porfiry Ivanov, a figure known for his emphasis on natural health practices. The article mentions a conference in Yaroslavl dedicated to his ideas. Ivanov's principles, summarized as "Detka" (Baby), include daily cold water immersion, spending time in nature, fasting, and cultivating positive traits like love and compassion while eradicating negative ones like greed and fear. The article notes that Ivanov spent 12 years in prisons and psychiatric hospitals for his beliefs and advocated for a return to nature and a change in human consciousness.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the unexplained, focusing on phenomena that challenge conventional understanding. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFO sightings, time anomalies, psychic abilities, and alternative health practices. The inclusion of a detailed questionnaire for contactees suggests an effort to gather and analyze data on these subjects. The articles present witness testimonies and historical accounts, encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond ordinary experience. The magazine seems to advocate for a broader understanding of reality and the potential for human consciousness to interact with unknown forces and intelligences.
