Reviews
Chief editor of the journal " Science and Religion " O. T. Brushlinskaya : [1]
Vladimir Andreevich Mezentsev did not last long - he was the editor-in-chief of "Science and Religion" from 1964 to 1968, because he was very brave and even harsh in relations with his superiors. At some point, he became fascinated, so to speak, by supernatural phenomena, such as telepathy , published in Wolf Messing magazine. This and many of his other bold publications provoked discontent "at the top."
