Russia and the former Soviet Union has the highest numbers of confirmed and accurate psychics in the world. Many people attribute this to the severe cold winters they have which for generations have forced people to mainly live indoors in winter. During this time the Soviets developed their minds, many for intellectual purposes and for others to increase their psychic abilities.

The Soviet Union was always hidden away from the prying eyes of the world, cloaked by a cover that prevented anyone from seeing in, preventing the world from seeing a third world communist dictatorship that presented itself as a first world, shining beacon of hope and prosperity. What the world was also unable to see where some of the worlds greatest psychics, who would forever change the way authority and government would view so-called mediums and psychics.

The Soviet Union was a place that placed great value on advancing less than mainstream science, which included the occult. While the Americans stockpiled nuclear weapons and prepared for a potential nuclear engagement, the Soviets invested heavily into psi-research, often in uncontrolled and poorly setup experiments involving various mediums, healers or those who could experience premonitions. Many self-proclaimed psychics also existed, who were determined to be frauds afterwards.

The most famous of all Soviet psychics would be Nina Kulagina, a woman who, from the 1960s to 1990s, would demonstrate many different psychic talents, some more impressive than others. Her most notable ability was that of psychokinesis (the ability to move objects with the mind). Many films of Nina were produced, and have been the topic of much controversy, with skeptics claiming the magic of film was used for her "abilities".

Nina discovered her psychic talents one day, while she was very angry. As she entered her kitchen, a glass jug moved to the edge of the counter and fell off, smashing on the floor. Soon, things began to occur, including lights that would turn on and off, and objects that would be "attracted" to her. Initially, she believed she was experiencing poltergeist activities, however this opinion changed when she determined that she could control the objects in question.

Following a nervous breakdown, Nina shocked doctors and nurses with her ability to reach into a basket to select a specific color of yarn, without actually needing to look into the basket. Through uncontrolled, unscientific testing, it was determined that Nina could control objects with her mind, which the scientists referred to as "remarkable". To this day, no one is exactly sure how remarkable these results were, as none of the scientists have ever actually stated what she did. It is possible that she used slight of hand or other clever and apparent "magic" techniques to demonstrate her psychic abilities. 

What we do know about Nina Kulagina, is that she was either very good at tricking people into believing what she wanted them to believe, or she truly was capable of psychokinesis, premonitions, and did in fact posses healing powers. It is likely that we will never know for sure, as very few people who remain from that dark era are willing to talk about it.
