INTRODUCTION
     It is high time to open my website in English. I do it for those of my colleagues who do not want to enter the XX1st century deceived by ufological liars and official debunkers. 
     What you will find below is not pleasant to read. I can assure you that it was not pleasant to write either.
     It goes without  saying  that  I cannot present to you the whole history of the Russian ufology on this website. Maybe one day... For the moment you have here only my black pages and they are really black.
NINETEEN NINETY-EIGHT. BEFORE AND AFTER

        HONESTY and UFOLOGY

   The real situation in the Russian ufology was never clear to the occidental ufologists. Before 1998, I saw two main reasons explaining this state of affairs.
    Firstly, a language barrier. 
    Secondly, unreliable Russian sources that some ufologists in the West cannot verify being in a hurry to publish their books or articles about Russia,  and unscrupulous journalists  like Henry Gris.
    In 1998,  after The KGB UFO Files (with P.Stonehill, a Soviet-born "ufologist", as main expert)  and The Soviet UFO Files (by the same P.Stonehill), it became clear to me that it is not enough to speak Russian well.  It is necessary to be honest. 
    There are only two books in English with chapters where the Russian ufology is presented correctly enough. The first one is  the  English  translation of  the book written  by my friend  Ion Hobana and Julien Weverbergh. Ion Hobana is honest, he respects the Ufological community and readers in general and knows Russian well enough to avoid traps and fantastic stories proliferated by many  journalists and so called ufologists. (Ion Hobana, Julien Weverbergh. UFO's From Behind the Iron Curtain , Souvenir Press, London, 1974, 309 p.)
   The other one is the book by Timothy Good  Above Top Secret (chapter 10 "USSR"). Unfortunately, the author gives too much credit  to everything coming from Russia, and I cannot close my eyes on that. Some mistakes, borrowed from FSR, are annoying.  Unavoidably, many tales were repeated in Occidental UFO books, but after all I can say that Good's chapter is "digestible". (Timothy Good, Above Top Secret, Grafton Books, London, 1987, 215-244.)
   The first great "fantastic" book about the Russian ufology was written by Jacques Vallee, who filled his book with all kinds of inventions and rumors. (Jacques Vallee, in collaboration  with  Martine Castello. UFO Chronicles of the Soviet Union: a cosmic Samizdat, Ballantine Books, New York, 1992, 212 p.)
    In fact, inventions and rumors give the possibility of making a book, just making it easily, without thinking about this long-suffering Ufology.
    It goes without saying that this regrettable situation gives to our debunkers the possibility to feel fine. 
INVITATION TO THE WITCHES'  SABBATH

        THE BEGINNING OF THE LIARS' ERA

     If before 1975 there were some inexactitudes in the presentation of the Russian ufological events in the West,  the year of  1975  entered in the history as the beginning of the liars' era, the era of serial fabrication of  "one of the most fascinating stories ever produced  anywhere  in the world." 
     The first big occidental liar was Henry Gris with his fascinating stories in National Enquirer ("Secret Evidence Shows  UFOs Come From Other Worlds",  National Enquirer, July 15, 1975,  p. 4; J.D.O'Hare, "Secrets The Russians Know About UFO's",  Male, Vol. 25, No. 12, December 1975,  30,  52-53.  I am sure this second article's author is the same Henry Gris.)
     A noticeable trace was left by Valery Sanarov. 
     In April 1979, Charles Bowen wrote:
     "The  U.S.S.R?  the FSR team know, from personal experience that, officially, at the science center at Novosibirsk, someone is  beavering away, sending cards to people around the world trying to glean information on UFO reports and research ideas. We at  FSR have received them - and  correspondence from other interested  individuals, who have sent reports to us. Robert Chapman of the  Sunday Express  tells us  he has received a card too,  in his case a request  for a copy of his book, and a local newspaper in Kent has been asked for details of a report (see Sunday Express of 21 January 1978,  page 7), and there have been a number of other recipients. So,  any chance to collect new material and ideas could well be attractive to them. Whether or not it would be on an exchange basis is another question" (FSR, Vol. 24, No 6, 10-11) .
    No, it was not "officially". Just a very big circus organized by V.Sanarov from Novosibirsk who presented  himself as Director of  Space Medicine Academy. (See Historia, Paris,  n° 395, 1979,  98. In French.) It  was a  bumper-crop year for our "Director". He received many books  and  wrote an article reducing all the problem to the popular beliefs and folklore. (Sovetskaya ethnographia, No 2, 1979, 145-154; Tekhnika-molodiojy, No 11, 1979, 46-52.)
     It was on an excellent exchange basis, wasn't it?  In Russia I  was the only one to unmask "the director". You can be sure that V.Sanarov does not like me, but I can endure it.
     The biggest Russian liar is Vladimir Ajaja (Azhazha). Incomparable! It  is a real chance for Richard F.Haines to be co-director (with V.Ajaja  and V.Rubtsov, co-author of the well known Russian debunker Yu.Platov) of the Joint USA-CIS Aerial Anomaly  Federation. At the 1992 MUFON Symposium in Albuquerque, V.Ajaja amused astonished Western colleagues with his story that he had proof that 5,000 Russians had been abducted by UFOs and never returned to Earth.  5,000 for 1989! The only one to react  openly to Ajaja's  tittle-tattle was J.Oberg (OMNI, Vol. 16, No.7, April 1994, pp. 68-75, 92) . Why? Where are the others? 
       Well, after the 1992 MUFON Symposium in Albuquerque V.Ajaja was appointed Representative for Western Russia  (West of the Ural Mountains) (Mufon UFO Journal,  Number  296, December 1992, 24 )
    What do you think about it, dear colleagues? Are we incapable to put this biggest ufological clown in his place? Or maybe we do not like "pelicanists", but we do like story-tellers in the field of the Russian Ufology? Is it necessary to ask for help to J.Oberg, fed by Ajaja, Stonehill and Co? Or can we handle the problem ourselves? I am sure we can do it. As far as our Russian ufology is concerned, I am doing it in Russian  (on my website and by all other means), and I did it in French (in  my book  OVNIS  en  RUSSIE ) Now I am doing the same in English  because there is nobody in the "Joint USA-CIS" strange and anomalous  Federation to defend the Russian ufology  from smart story-tellers. (The page about  "The Joint" will  be joined to this website.)
       THE END OF THE CENSORSHIP
     In May 1989,  the censorship on UFO's  publication was lifted.  The result of these increased civilian liberties and individual freedoms was unexpected: journalists found their bait for attracting readers.  Now hoaxes are in the usual run of things, there are many liars presenting themselves as ufologists or contactees, or ufologists and contactees at the same time. 
     The first performance of  the pseudoufological  Russian play was given in 1989  at the  Frankfurt's International UFO Congress "Dialogue with the Universe", with the Voronezh hoax. "One of the symposium's main attractions was  delegation  of five  Soviet scientists  and  UFO investigators," wrote J.Antonio Huneeus, and he gave their names  (J.Antonio Huneeus: "Soviet Researchers Stand  Behind Voronezh Close Encounter", New York City Tribune,  November 16,  1989 ).
     These five did nothing good for our ufology.  One name is completely unknown  in  Russia, another one was smart enough to take care of his international image, and he presented himself  as contactee...  Why not? Two of these five are constantly looking for buyers to sell their  "ufological goods". "The Russians themselves keep  knocking on my door," Antonio Huneeus states. "They want to sell their stuff here" (Soviet Saucers by J.Oberg, OMNI, Vol. 16, No. 7, April 1994)
     I  don't  want  to speak  about  the others. What can I say  if all  of them stood behind the international publicity of the Voronezh hoax and other hoaxes? I don't want to enumerate all Russian liars and debunkers dialoguing  with the Universe  (and especially with money) but it goes without saying that the debunkers all over the world are pleased with things being as they are.
     Alas, nowadays there are many hoaxes and rumors voyaging all over the world. (Special thanks to Paul Stonehill and to his consultant Philip Mantle  for  their  first  anti-ufological  book The Soviet UFO Files.)
       DEEP CRISIS
Today, Russian ufology is in a deep crisis.
     Those who read regularly UFO UpDates know the message with Turkish Announcement.  (I liked the reactionof Josh Goldstein, Jim Mortellaro and Larry Hatch to this Announcement.) Well, we have the same theater in Russia, with the pseudo-beliefs  in "Universal Laws". Josh Goldstein  is not the only one  to miss a photo from the Hubble telescope or an episode  of Star Trek.  He is not the only one to be lost  in his darkness.  I'm not channeling properly, too.
     In 1997,  the organizers of "The World Congress" in Chelyabinsk sent their  "Circular letter of Chelyabinsk Roerich Cultural-Ethical Center" all over the world.  Read just one passage from this "very important document". If  after reading  you realize that "your darkness is within you, then please feel free to enlighten yourself" (J.Mortellaro).
     I left everything as it was in the original text written  in a very special cosmic English.
.
Circular
     "All the ancient and modern  prophecies, which are given in Agni Yoga,  being the synthesis of Budda's and Christ's  doctrine, indicate, that  the  turning-point  in  the history  of the modern humanity will  take place at the end  of 1997-at  the beginning   1998. This turning-point of the human  history  in  Agni Yoga, the  Third  Latest  Precept (or  in  the Fiery Bible), refers to as Doomsday, as great  panic in Gospel.  The Space Reasonable civilizations  name this process  as a transition of our planet from the third measurement in the fourth one, on a higher evolutionary step, in this connection,  there is a serious necessity  to warn  the world community  about  the approaching events throughout the planet.
     Five years ago, almost simultaneously, the scientists in America and  Irkutsk (a Russian city) have discovered an absolutely new powerful  kind of space  radiation, outgoing  from that area of Universe, whence  a new planet, Bernar-1, opened  by the astronomers from Chile in 1977, with its huge Sun comes nearer  to a solar system. But the scientists do not identify  this unexplained radiation with the New Heavenly Body, because unfortunately it is invisible in telescopes. Nevertheless, when  the Earth  will  sharply enter  in a zone of  maximum  action  of the New Heavenly Body's beams, the force of their influence will be increased in 1000 times, and a super-accelerated  overcoming  of the human negative fortune (carma)  will begin: the people  will become  as crazy  and  an  awful  panic  with  unpredictable consequences, as  it  is reserved  in the Gospel  from  Matphey and  Looka  and  in Apocalypse, will take  place. Under the influence of the New Heavenly. Body's  fiery beams  many countries can be lost, because, as a result of arisen panic, the population will  destroy itself and civilization. That's why it's necessary to explain  the essence  of  the space processes and catastrophes from the scientific point of  view,  and  to  remote  an element of incomprehensibility, supernaturalness and unexpectedness.
     The  Space  Brotherhood  of  High civilizations  will  take  the  principal  part  in rescue the planet from self-destruction in the Third World War and Great Disturbance,  that's  why  the  research  UFO-specialists  (UFO-logers),  astrologers  and clairvoyants could help in the explanatory work.
     There are  two main  ideas  in the doctrine of Agni Yoga:  the  participation  of  the Distant Worlds in the life  of humanity and Cosmic Dates of global transformations of the planet.  Thus,  Agni Yoga  is a basis,  a  platform  for association  of  the  research UFO-specialists (UFO-logers), astrologers and clairvoyants in the World Congress. 
     During these events Russia,  being  protected  by the Heaven  and  Strangers from the  Distant  Worlds,  will  suffer  less  than other countries,  that's  why  the  territory from the Urals  up to  Baikal  will be  the modern  Noyev Kovcheg  (it means in Russian  Noah' Ark. - B.Sh.) for all the countries.  During the latest countries the representatives of  the  Space  Reasonable civilizations  are  invisibly  present  for  the  people  on our planet and control the dangerous explosive situation on the Earth.
     In the full swing of these  events, at  the  end  of 1997 - at  the  beginning  of  1998, thousands of unidentified flying objects will appear  over the planet; they  will  rescue the people by means of...
     ...The World Congress  is to elaborate  the plan  of  evacuation  of  the  population from various countries, wich will suffer from catastrophes and natural calamities most of  all - Scandinavia,  Denmark,  the  Netherlands,  Holland,  Czechia,  Japan,  state California and others.
     On the other hand, we suggest the governments  of these countries to be united for creation  of the joint program  of the construction  of new cities  on the leased lands of Siberia,  as at the end of the XX-th century Russia, according to the ancient prophecy, will be the Noyev Kovcheg (Noah' Ark. - B.Sh) for the whole of humanity."...
.
     For sure, "the territory from the Urals up to Baikal  will  be  the modern"  Noah' Ark.  Do you know why? Because the organizers of the Congress live there. For the others - nothing to do... 
    I hope it's enough to see that "if (typical)  New-Agers had trap-doors on their heads, they would take out their brains and play with  them. Any time is fantasy time for them. Never mind quibbles with fact, logic or reason. No real problems arise until they start to believe their own drivel, and try to pass it off to others" (Larry Hatch). 
    Of course,  Marina Popovich, well known in the United States as cosmonaut, was at the center of this World Congress.  Just as in Tucson in 1991:  "La cosmonauta sovietica  Marina Popovich, membro dell'Accademia delle Scienze dell'Urse"(UFO Express, N 79, 11; Il Giornale, 17/5/1991)
    No, M.Popovich is not cosmonaut. No, she is not member of our Academy of Science. By the way, today in Russia there are lots of home-made academies (around two hundred in  Moscow alone). Their certificates are not expensive. (See for example  "Supplement to Trud",  19 Dec 2000.  The same Supplement  in English  (to Express ) can be found in USA and Canada.) Many dishonest people like to present themselves as academicians. V.Ajaja, co-director (with  R.Haines) of the "Joint USA-CIS...", has a real  collection of diplomas and certificates of  this very  "scientific" and anomalous kind. 
     The ufological conferences and congresses  follow the pattern  given by the American novelist Mark Twain: 
     " As a rule the speech and behaviour of these people were gracious and courtly; and  I noticed that they were good and serious  listeners when any bogy was telling  anything...  And plainly, too, they were a childlike and innocent lot; telling lies of the stateliest pattern with a most gentle and  winning  naïveté, and ready and willing to  listen to anybody else's lie, and believe  it, too ".(Mark Twain: A Yankee at  the  Court of  King Arthur.  Chatto & Windus, London, 1915, p. 13.)
     Yes,  any time is fantasy time for our so called ufologists.  But fantasies may be different.  For example,  Theory of conspiracy. Why not?  If you know Russian,  you can find  this Theory on the RUFORS' website ( http://ufo.psu.ru) supported by P.Stonehill.  (From  P.Stonehill's  letter  to UpDates (29 Oct 2000):"This is the site of  RUFORS, Russian UFO researchers, to which I belong - http://ufo.psu.ru)"  So, if you know Russian and if you are in  search  of  something  about The  conspiracy of  these insolent  Aliens,  you  will  hit  the  mark. (P.Stonehill  is promoting  this site in his letters  to UFO UpDates.  It's a pity you cannot read in Russian! You could laugh until you cry.) 
     Of  course,  there  are  two or  three  good  websites  but  they are lost  in the ocean of deliberate lie and winning naïveté.
In order  to  put  an end  to all  this deliberate lie and winning naïveté we opened  two websites:
1. Ufological community http://ufos.narod.ru
   (Ufology in Russia and in the World, in Russian)

2. Boris Shurinov - Russian Ufology: black pages
                                     http://boris-shurinov.info
    (Cleaning of the Russian ufological space, with pages in English and French)

     Do not think, please, that I am a fool like other fools  or smart  as Paul Stonehill to give you addresses of websites only in  Russian. I  remember well the astonishment of John Velez when he tried the address given by P.Stonehill in his message from Sun,  29 Oct 2000  to updates@sympatico.ca.
 

...I went out to the website to check it out. Is there a version of the  webepages available  in English?  I'm a New York Puerto Rican  (which means I can handle English and Spanish) not Russian. If  there is  an English version  could you please  post the URL....

 Subject: Re: Russian Ufology Research Center - Velez
No, there was no English version  in October, and P.Stonehill knew it very well,  but now he must be on line constantly,  sending letters about nothing.  (In november, P.Stonehill placed there his short articles, including Yellow Emperor. Indeed, it is yellow!)
    I mentioned our websites only because they had provoked  the outbreak of activity of Paul Stonehill on UFO UpDates and accelerated the opening of these pages in English.
My site in Russian - RUSSIAN UFOLOGY: BLACK PAGES
    So, in October 26, I opened my website (in Russian) with pages about home-made academicians, Vladimir Ajaja, Paul Stonehill and our Ministry of Defence. 
    With V.Ajaja everything is clear: diagnosis - liar. The Ministry is keeping silence. As far as P.Stonehill is concerned, I was blind. I was  blind  and naive but my eyes were opened when I saw the KGB UFO Files (TNT) and his book The Soviet UFO Files. It was disgusting. Then I dug for more information about P.Stonehill's ufological doings and I found that what was disgusting for the others was quite normal for Paul Stonehill. 
     Nothing to do, the errors committed by me must be corrected by myself. I did it in my Russian website.
     To make a long story short, I found that P.Stonehill was a liar, and there is nothing to do against my irrefutable proofs and exact references as you will be able to see for yourself.
     V.Ajaja swallowed everything but P.Stonehill tried to save the situation. I think that readers of  UFO Updates took notice of his  sudden activity:  letters to UFO UpDates in November and December 2000, letters without any real sense but everybody knows that P.Stonehill is present, he is on line. He tried to show to everybody that his Russian Ufology Research Center is working hard. Why? It is very important because 
Mr. Philip Mantle who consulted  'The Soviet UFO Files', and Paul Stonehill  have co-authored  a new book  about  Russian ufology; it contains a  wealth  of the heretofore  unavailable  information from the former USSR, and modern Russia. (Sun, 29 Oct 2000)
     At the same time we saw a letter of Philip Mantle with Turkish Announcement. This Announcement was received from the group "New Agers" but Philip Mantle repeated the Turkish message because he must be on line too. 
     By the way,  all the story about and around Paul Stonehill and his dirty ufology could remain in Russian on my website but Stonehill  lost his head and the sense of reality and wrote a letter in English addressed to me.  Funny "ufological"  incident! I received  this letter not from P.Stonehill but from my friend living...  in Switzerland. (This letter with my comment has its own black page.)
     So, I am obliged to speak about Paul Stonehill in English. I hope it will be useful for everybody because at the same time I'll show to you other  "big  friends of the Russian  ufology"  both  in Russia and in the world.
