Wow! Dr. Khokhlov was one of my professors at California State U., San Bernardino in 1993-1994. We knew that he was a Soviet defector, and he sometimes alluded vaguely to cloak-and-dagger stuff, but I had no idea about his history as a KGB hit man. He was a great teacher, and a really kind and warm person. I took History and Systems of Psychology and Perception from him as an undergrad. 209.142.143.71 08:56, 17 October 2006 (UTC) Jack Gillen

I found information that Nikolay Khokhlov was working as a consultant for US Government in the field of parapsychology(???), and that his wife and son were sent to labor camp. Can anyone veify this and add more to this article? Biophys 01:24, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

He used to talk about parapsychological stuff he did at Duke University with the gov't. I don't remember any of the details, but he talked about how the Soviets were "ahead" of the U.S. in that area. He definitely believed in stuff like Kirlian photography and "auras" and things like that.209.142.167.206 01:43, 25 November 2006 (UTC)Jack Gillen

[edit] Died?

I remove this [1]. We need a reliable source for this. The source doesn't have to say he died, just have to confirm that there are rumours. Until we know otherwise, this is a BLP so it's normal practice to remove unsourced material especially if it's negative or potentially libellious. While having died may not necessarily be negative or potentially libellious it can be so it's wise to err on the side of caution. Nil Einne 18:54, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
