Dr. Yuri Khronopulo, known to us in the U.S. as Dr. Yury Kronn, led a fascinating and colorful life. His work began in Russia during a tumultuous moment in the country’s history.He witnessed and experienced the suppression of free thinking and religious and spiritual expression under Communism.At the same time he was a participant in the remarkable explosion of scientific research and achievements funded and supported by the Soviet regime.For most twentieth century scientists, the rapid integration of knowledge about the material world often prohibited any attempts to explain the world in any terms other than purely physical, energy and mass. But, being the pioneer that he was, Dr. Yury was not one to let convention stand in the way of evidence!In the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, at the height of his scientific career, he observed a series of experiments testing the telekinetic abilities of fellow Russian Nina Kulagina and the eyeless-sight readingof Rosa Kuleshova. In the words of fellow physicist Dr. V.F. Shvetz from the book Psychic Discoveries behind the Iron Curtain, also an observer of these experiments, “as a physicist I know telekinesis just can’t exist, but as a human being I know I saw it.  All the physicists at the atomic center at Dubna were very interested in telekinesis.  But they seemed to feel that if they admitted it, they ought to leave physics
and start studying parapsychology!” These were life changing events in Yury’s life and this is exactly what he did. He became part of an intense and committed underground group devoted to researching types of energy previously only examined in the West in the context of metaphysics and in the East as Traditional Chinese Medicine. His explorations led him into years of research into the forces and energies that could not be measured by science but nonetheless could not be denied. In the 1980’s a series of events involving the Russian government spurred him to become a dissident. He was a founding member of the Moscow Trust Group, the first independent peace group in the history of Russia. He, along with other members of the Group were frequently jailed and unrelentingly persecuted. (Link to doc and Ukrainian Weekly)

Finally, in 1988 he left Russia as a political refugee with a suitcase and $150.00 in his pocket. When he arrived in the U.S. as a refugee in 1988 he was offered a research position at Columbia University, and given the grand tour of the physics lab. He considered for about five seconds…and said “No, thank you”. Thus began years of intensive research and experimentation which led to the development of his Vital Force Technology™ – the first tunable subtle energy generator on the planet.
