Nicolai Levashov. The Mirror of My Soul. Vol. 1. Born in the USSR

                The  only  thing,  which  never  happened,  was  that  someone  came  and  offered

           financial help. Therefore, I understood that, if I wanted to get my dreams and projects to
           come true, I would have to earn the money to do it on my own. I did not consider money
           earned honestly by my own sweat and blood to be dirty. But, in spite of the fact that I
           needed money, its “smell” mattered to me very much. In the USSR I was offered quite
           a lot of “manna from heaven” if I agreed to do one or an-other “small” favour, which
           would “cost” me nothing!

                In fact, I could do, what I was requested, but I rejected it because what that would
           have  required,  was  contradictory  to  my  convictions,  to  which  I  devoted  my  life.  I
           understood perfectly that my rejection of some offers would possibly sign my death
           sentence, but, nevertheless, my answer remained the same, although I did not know then,
           whether I could prevail in a war with those forces whose offers I refused. I only hoped

           that I could find a method to prevent them from exacting their revenge for my refusal. It
           is not bravado, I really did not know, whether my own home-made methods would be
           effective  and  very  soon  life  gave  me  the  opportunity  to  check  my  assumptions  in
           practice...

                 I had failed to come to terms with my possible partners, who aimed to take the
           pickings and to earn money using me. I was surprised that they did not want to organize

           everything on a serious basis and get a steady income, instead of snatching a large sum
           just once. They did not plan to organize a creative business, but only a parasitic one.
           They wanted to speculate on my psi-devices and walk away.

                The  speculation  would  have  been  very  profitable  for  them—they  had  minimal
           expenses, be-cause it was me who produced psi-devices and could simultaneously create
           millions of them. Exactly this made my project so attractive for them. It is very possible,
           they did not believe that my psi-devices really worked, in spite of the fact that many had
           already worked and helped a lot of people and laboratory researches showed their high
           efficiency.

                One way or another, my beautiful plan to create the industrial production of healing
           psi-devices failed. My “partners” saw that they could not make easy money quickly and
           lost interest in me, despite there being brilliant prospects for making a very good and

           constructive business. I and my companions were paid the remaining sum for the service
           that I rendered earlier and I returned to Moscow!

                In  spite  the  fact  that  the  joint  enterprise  failed,  my  first  journey  abroad  was
           successful. I got experience of socializing with foreigners in their home country. My
           acquaintance  with  Budapest  and  its  outskirts  served  as  a  sort  of  adaptation  to  the
           abundance of goods in shops, about which the habitants of the USSR did not even dream.
           In fact, we spent some days with our mouths open, in the direct and figurative sense of
           the word, impressed by all the unusual things, which surrounded us. In fact, almost all
           Soviet people of that time, who managed to go abroad, to a greater or lesser degree,
           appeared in a state of shock at what they saw there.

                It was possible to recognize a Soviet person in the crowd almost instantly—they all

           had this intimidated and uncertain confused look. One way or another, I came back to
           Moscow with new experience and new skills. There was a little more than a month left
           before my journey to Germany. From the German side we were invited by Norbert
