1989, a video of a teleconference between Kyiv and Birmingham (UK).
Several topics are discussed: the return of people who collaborated with the Nazis and are now hiding in England (chronicle footage of the shooting of people in Babyn Yar is used); differences between the USSR and Britain: democracy and glasnost, the work of journalists, freedom of religion; Anatoliy Kashpirovsky and his treatment methods (footage of mass treatment at the stadium, surgery on TV, experiments in the studio).
Reference: Anatoliy Kashpirovsky is a psychotherapist who is accused of charlatanism. He became known for his so-called teletherapy sessions and gained popularity in the field of alternative medicine.
In 1989, he conducted several “hypnosis” sessions on Soviet television. During two teleconferences (1988 and 1989), he administered anesthesia to three patients: Lyubov Grabovska during the removal of a breast tumor, and Lesia Yurshova and Olga Ignatova during surgical operations. The first session took place on October 9 on Central Television.
The audience believed in Kashpirovsky's “gift” and it brought him great popularity. He held meetings with artists, doctors and opinion leaders. He was awarded the USSR State Prize and received a doctorate in medicine. In 1993, he was elected to the State Duma of the russian federation.
The program is in russian.
