In the thirties of the twentieth century, the leading elite of the Bolsheviks instructed the special services of Soviet Russia to send secret expeditions to the remote regions of Tibet and the Himalayas in search of occult knowledge. What caused the increased interest of communist workers in the occult, and how could this be combined with their materialistic views of the world?
The new Bolshevik government urgently needed reinforcement of its purely materialistic ideology instead of the rejected church. The Land of the Soviets began a search for new spiritual symbols in occult societies. Occultism combines the names of all kinds of teachings and traditions associated with the belief in the existence of hidden and unexplained by science human superpowers and paranormal phenomena in the world around them.
The main symbol of the Bolshevik state is the five-pointed star, the pentagram borrowed from occult practices. The workers 'and peasants' symbols of the hammer and sickle in the occult interpretation mean death and power, which subsequently fully confirmed their mystical power by millions of ruined lives of the bloody regime of Stalin's repressions.
It’s a strange thing, but historically it turned out that the roots of the ideology of many outstanding revolutionary leaders of Soviet Russia sprout precisely from mysticism. For example, Anatoly Vasilievich Lunacharsky was a mystic. This is due to his forced emigration and education in Switzerland in 1893. The empirio-critical philosopher Avenarius of the University of Zurich had a strong influence on Lunacharsky's young mind with his lectures. Only after meeting in 1904 with V. I. Lenin did Lunacharsky become a materialist.
Another leader of the revolution, Lev Davidovich Trotsky, seriously studied the literature on Freemasonry. It was he who contributed to the emergence of the first scientific institute in the USSR for the study of paranormal phenomena.
The Cheka of Soviet Russia even had secret laboratories engaged in occult research, the leaders of which really believed in the powerful forces of Shambhala. In 1925, a special agent of the OGPU, Yakov Blumkin, disguised as a Mongolian lama, made his way into the snow-covered foothills of the Himalayas in order to find the source of the powerful forces of Shambhala, according to legend, an ancient country that bears the Great Knowledge of power over the world.
The most outstanding scientist in the Cheka laboratories was Alexander Vasilyevich Barchenko. As a mystic, he was a member of the Masonic lodge with a high degree of dedication even before the revolution. The scientist was convinced that the brain is an absolute likeness of a radio apparatus. Influencing the subconscious of a person, in his laboratory they put their own program of behavior and thinking into the brain.
The best specialist in the study of the human psyche, an outstanding scientist Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev, organized the work of the first institute for the study of the brain in Russia. In 1922, a department was created here, consisting of separate groups for the study of various paranormal phenomena for the study of clairvoyance, extrasensory perception, hypnosis. On the instructions of the Lubyanka, the most prominent scientists of that time in these special departments studied the possibilities of using hypnosis, telepathy, suggestion, technology of collective hallucinations in practice, investigated the phenomenon of mass psychosis, that is, they were engaged in the technology of competent management of the human masses. This was studied in order to introduce methods of competent management and skillful manipulation of the masses into the KGB special services.

The supervision of these works was carried out by the assistant to Felix Dzerzhinsky, the KGB commissar of the 3rd rank Gleb Ivanovich Bokiy, who headed the secret encryption department of the Cheka. Back in 1909, Gleb Bokiy was ordained to the Martinist lodge. He was secretly a member of the supreme council of the lodge of French Masons. In 1920, G. I. Bokiy and A. V. Barchenko created the first Masonic lodge in the RSFSR and named it the "United Labor Brotherhood".
Gleb Bokiy was fond of mysticism, studied secret oriental teachings and the history of occultism. To work in his special department, Bokiy was looking for people with paranormal abilities throughout the country. Shamans were brought from the Altai Territory. Objects of shamanic rituals were confiscated from local history museums according to a special list of the OGPU. Experiments were carried out to transmit thought over a distance.
It was Academician Bekhterev who told Gleb Bokiy about the incredible mental illness affecting the population on the Kola Peninsula. The so-called polar northern syndrome, when people massively, seventy people at a time, lost their minds. They began to speak in unknown foreign languages, they developed a strange desire for the North Pole Star.
To conduct northern scientific experiments, a stationary research station was required, in the capacity of which the Solovetsky Special Purpose Camp (SLON) was organized. In June 1923, the first group of political prisoners arrived on the island of Solovki, representing prominent famous scientists and eminent figures in various fields of science and spheres of creativity. Among them were musicians, artists, mathematicians, biologists, physicists and lyricists, such prominent figures as Florensky, Likhachev, Vinogradov. In addition, along with them, scientific equipment was brought here, with which scientists had been working on the "mainland" before their arrest.
In 1937, Gleb Ivanovich's laboratory was disbanded, the ELEPHANT was completely liquidated, and Bokiy himself was shot on charges of Trotskyism and the creation of occultism in the USSR.
Both political powerful leaders, Trotsky and Stalin, were similar in the idea of exploring the secret human abilities. Stalin wanted to have such a laboratory, but only without those loyal to Trotsky. Therefore, in 1939, a new special laboratory of the NKVD "Androgen" began to function for the study of parapsychology and superpowers of the human brain, already under the leadership of Savelyev.
Having found themselves at the top of the state hierarchy, people in power are ready to sign an agreement with otherworldly forces, the impact of which may turn out to be simple self-deception, charlatanism, and ordinary personal manipulation. One can understand what attracted the special services of the Bolshevik country so strongly in the East - of course the power. Power over millions and the spread of world communism, ideas that seemed attainable to the Bolsheviks thanks to the Great Knowledge of the mysterious Shambhala.
