I like spooky paranormal stuff (yeah yeah whatever deboonkers just let me have fun for a minute) and have been going down various CIA project STARGATE/gateway experience/Monroe institute/remote viewing rabbit holes. I’ve even been listening to a pirated copy of the gateway tapes, which do seem to “work” in the sense that I’ve entered into some very interesting states of consciousness. Including what some might call “out of body” experiences, or maybe “astral projection” (I’m agnostic as to the ontological status of these experiences, btw, they may be something akin to a lucid dream, idk, I kinda put them in the same “hmm, that’s pretty fucking weird” category as my encounters with DMT entities). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about Soviet research into Psi/remote viewing/etc. Or UFOs, just Soviet high weirdness in general.

    Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain is a classic, and you'll also enjoy The Occult in Soviet and Russian Culture, by Bernard Rosenthal.

    I'd also recommend reading into the history of photobiomodulation and psychotronics in the Soviet Union, and then eventually finding your way to Shambhala...

    e: If you want "fiction" that is very related to psychic spies in the USSR, check out An End to Ordinary History, by Michael Murphy.
