Supreme Soviet of the USSR and one of the main creators of “The Energia” . He also
was a witness to some events. I am very grateful to him in that he found the courage to
say, what he knew.

I met him quite accidentally—he had problems with his heart and some people,
who knew him, asked me to help him. He began to come to my place and I put his heart

to rights pretty quickly. He appeared to be a very interesting person, who had a very
wide spectrum of interests. We touched a wide range of themes in our discussions, both
during and after my work with him, many of which were far beyond the limits of the
usual interests of any average person. He never even tried to hint that he had a scientific
degree, etc., or made me feel like “who was I to reason about one or another problem”.
He was sincerely interested in my understanding of different natural phenomena, we
discussed different aspects of them and I was very pleased to see that there were people
for whom the truth was more important than their aplomb and ambitions; that there were
true scientists.

Other people assisted at our conversations very often, including Vladimir
Dmitrievich Sergeev. Therefore, when the opportunity to make a TV interview appeared,
I had no doubts as to whom I would invite to participate in it. Boris Ivanovich accepted
the offer and gave a sound inter-view, where he said much more, than I even expected
of him. He showed, from my point of view, both scientific and civil courage. During the
interview, he also mentioned one of the projects, which we had discussed with him. It
concerned the neutralization of hurricanes.

One day during our next conversation I said that it would be just great, if we could

carry out a continuous and direct observation of the origin and development of a
hurricane, using satellites in real time, and influence it with the purpose of neutralization.
In fact, it was quite possible to carry out then, but neither in the USSR, nor in the USA
later, was similar experiment ever conducted.

Although in 2002 I had my first accidental experiment in the neutralization of
hurricanes, I could not conduct it according to the plan which we discussed with Boris
Ivanovich Katargin as early as in 1990 (more details in my article “Taming the
Intractables: How to Make Hurricanes Behave” on my web-site). Despite the fact that in
2004 the Americans promised to fulfill my conditions of conducting this work, but never

did...

In the meantime, let us come back to August, 1990. The video-material was filmed,
but... never was broadcast. Someone had no desire whatsoever that this kind of
information become widely known. But I had a videocassette of this interview which
now can be seen on my web-site.

21. Hello, Germany!

In August my journey to Germany was finally prepared. The Germans gave me to
understand that they would like to invite only me, but I insisted on being accompanied
by several others and my terms were accepted. I decided to take with me two persons

heavy-lift expendable launch system as well as a booster for the Buran Space Shuttle. It had the capacity to place around
100 metric tons in Low Earth orbit.
