About the book: 2007 / "The amazing is nearby, but it is forbidden!" – these words of Vladimir Vysotsky can rightfully be taken as an epigraph to this book. It tells about events that are inexplicable from the point of view of militant materialism, recorded by the author from the words of former employees of the Soviet secret services. Yes, our glorious security officers have repeatedly encountered paranormal phenomena in their practice. And sometimes they performed feats that would be the envy of Scully and Fox Mulder from The X-Files! But they were and are still obliged to this day by the “law of silence”! Alexander Bushkov managed to bypass it, for thirty years he collected materials related to the “devilry” in the war and during secret special operations of the NKVD.
