Inl~discussio" with Ottler Russian scientist.8 I could feel the wish /difficult to say whether siLcerely ment, or dictated by political necessity/ to esteblieb a kind of union ofparaoiichologists from 00r-MLiA6t COUZt- ries, in which parapsycholo~,,ists"jlrow the U.S.S.R. and~2tist.,Z11 co-JrAries would cooperate.

As a matter of fact, ovory citizen is far more limited L'. his ri~irhtao jr.('' "1.c stnt~.N power has to its disposal a number of motivating atiL- uli that fulfill those wishea which, in the free world, rtive beer. recoenized self-evident long ago, so that people in the -.1ree world d# not even feel thuir necotaity. So for instance, in ad~lition to the always efficient financial reward, there are other &timuli sucl. as permiazion to make a trip abroad, preferential supply of scarce goods, or perhaps an amendment of a persk~n's secret "personal reco,d". I Organization of Parapeychological Research In tho U.3-4;.R. In order to understand the situation in Russian ;arapsycholo,,y proPerly, we must point out, first, goncral necessary ax,11itions. that must be fulfilled in the U.S.S.R. before any field of research can procper. /I/ Tho first condition is that the usefulness o;C such an endeavour for the comiunist society is reco4;nIzed. Otherwite, the persons eneaged in research would be persectited by state authorities. This cor~dition boa been fulfilled in the U.S.S.R. /2/ The second condition Is the sufficient financing of re- seqrch.
