Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Sergey Naryshkin said that in the West during the Soviet era, studies were conducted on the influence of electromagnetic waves on the human brain, including the potential of their influence on human behavior. The head of the SVR told about this in an interview with RT .
As the head of the Russian special service explained, at the time when he began his career as an intelligence officer in the scientific and technical division of the Soviet foreign intelligence, he was interested in various areas of scientific research. "I know that in the West at that time, quite active research and development was carried out on the effects of various electromagnetic waves and vibrations on the human brain," the head of the SVR said.
Answering the correspondent's question about whether the SVR employees experienced symptoms similar to the so-called "Havana syndrome" (as the Western media call a number of neurological symptoms, including dizziness, nausea, headaches and hearing problems, which were observed in November 2016 in some employees of the Canadian and US embassies in Havana and their family members), Sergey Naryshkin answered in the negative. "Whether SVR employees have experienced such influence in any country-no," he said.
