Life and career edit
Ratnikov was born June 11, 1944, in the village of Kurovo, Lukhovitsky district, Moscow region. His father was the director of an agricultural enterprise. In 1969, he graduated from the Moscow Aviation Institute in the specialty department of management systems of aircraft. After his graduation from the institute, Ratnikov worked as an engineer. In 1984, he graduated from the "Red Flag" school for KGB officers with a degree in higher professional education and knowledge of the Persian language.
In the 1980s, Ratnikov went on a business trip to Afghanistan as an adviser of KHAD, took part in the hostilities, awarded orders and medals. He worked in the 4th Service Directorate of the KGB in Moscow and Moscow region. From 1991 to 1994, he was the first Deputy Chief of the General Directorate of guard Russian Federation. In May 1994, he was appointed chief advisor to the President of the Security Service of Russia. From 1996 to 1997, he served as the chief adviser to the Federal Security Service of Russia.
Ratnikov has researched telepathy, clairvoyance, hypnosis, applied psychology, parapsychology, telekinesis, astrology etc.[2] He claims that the portrayal of parapsychology as a "false" science was created intentionally. Working in state research institutes and private laboratories, he conducted secret experiments for war on extrasensory perception between intelligence services of the CIA and the KGB.[3]
Until 2003, Ratnikov was an adviser to the head of the Moscow Regional Duma. He is now in retirement (Major-General reserves of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation). He is a member of the Committee of Commerce and Industry Chamber of Business Security and the head of the Energy-information laboratory (research in the field of parapsychology) of the Academy of the National Association of bodyguards (abbreviation Russian: НАСТ)
In December 2006, Ratnikov told Rossiyskaya Gazeta that his mind-reading work revealed that Madeleine Albright "was indignant that Russia held the world's largest reserves of natural resources."[4] Some Russian officials have presented his claim as a real statement by Albright.[5][6]
