But quite sarcasm, everyone will easily find it in forbidden social networks. We will try to take the statement of Naryshkin quite seriously - as an important political event. Indeed, in politics, what has been said is often more important than actual, as it allows us to judge the motives and intentions of the speaker. Remember, for example, as on February 21, 2022, just before the invasion, the same Naryshkin gave the main military secret to the television cameras - a plan for joining new Ukrainian territories to Russia. The scout simply did not know that, according to the boss, this is still a secret for someone. It turned out uncomfortable, but informative. Of course, it will be a little more difficult to extract knowledge of biomechanoids, but we will try.
The word "biomechanoid" comes from science fiction. It appeared in 1959 in connection with the work of the Swiss artist Hans Giger and gained wide fame since 1979, when he created the image of a monster for the Space Horror "Alien". Moreover, the word itself remains, in fact, copyright: it is rarely found in other works, except in some computer games. It turns out that in his search for the image of the enemy, the SVR directly addresses science fiction, as the engineers and designers at one time turned to it in search of technical and artistic solutions. Since science fiction writers are very creative, they still have many similar terms in the reserve: biorobots, synthetes, technomorphs, replicants, sylons, headers, synthesoids, not to mention the usual androids (each in pockets) and cyborgs (on the contact line with the Armed Forces of Ukraine). So the SVR still has many discoveries ahead.
I must say that the appeal to science fiction in modern Russian politics is already an established practice
(Interestingly, is this due to the fact that Russian science fiction writers is one of the most pure groups of intellectuals?). For example, in 2015, President of the Kurchatov Scientific Center Mikhail Kovalchuk very convincingly reported at a meeting of the Council of the Russian Federation on the removal of a special breed of “service people” in the West, which are fed genetically modified products, and they have a limited self-consciousness and controlled reproduction. It is possible that the current Biomechanoids of Naryshkin are a rebranding for the “official people” of Kovalchuk.
There are other fantastic technologies in service with Russia. For example, the head of the Presidential Administration Anton Vaino, even before taking office, became the author of the fundamental invention - Nooscope . This device is able to penetrate directly into the collective consciousness of mankind - the noosphere of Vernadsky - and read from there a picture of the future. And the Major General of the Federal Security Service Boris Ratnikov in 1999 remotely connected to the consciousness of the then US Secretary of State Madlen Olbright to clarify the details of the planned operation in Yugoslavia.
Then there is a whole bush of technologies , known as a system of weapons on new physical principles, where quite real and realistic fantastic ideas are bizarrely intertwined. For example, General Pavel Grachev, known for a failure operation in Grozny during the First Chechen War, is a specialist in non -existent ozone weapons and wrote an article about him for the “military encyclopedia”. You can list for a long time. This is an ethnic weapon, supposedly selectively acting only on genetic Russians, due to fear of which customs prohibitions were introduced for exporting materials for medical tests. These are secret biolaboards with combat mosquitoes and infected birds, about which a whole 200-page report has been prepared in the State Duma.
The key question that arises with each such penetration of science fiction into politics is that of this it is consciously prepared as a mystification to make noise of the information space, and what arises by force of inadequate ideas about reality among key figures of Russian authorities? Apparently, the detailed texts like the mentioned report on biolaboratories and weapons of weapons on new principles are written by professionals and therefore, obviously, are accompanied by the development of funds through the information warfare.
But here are ideas that appear at the level of individual memetic stuffing like biomechanoids or official people are much more similar to manifestations of paranoid thinking.
They are too eccentric for the routine report at the work event, too unproven for any thoughtful propaganda or misinformation thesis. At the same time, they are pronounced as something self-evident, not in need of justifications and not perceived by the authors as grotesque absurdity. And it is really difficult to make out in this a calculated viral informational stuffing in order to distract attention from something more important like drones.
Paranoid syndrome - insidious disorder. He does not deprive a person of intellect and ability to social interaction, but complements his reality with delusional ideas about possible threats, which he considers completely real, sees confirmation in everything, and perceives doubts and objections as signs of stupidity or hostility.
Modern psychiatry avoids discussing the issue of the possibility of transmitting paranoid syndrome from person to person. However, those who have intensively interact with sources of paranoid delirium are well known what kind of tension the sense of connection with reality is being subjected to. Now add to this that the carrier is a high boss and, listening to him, it is dangerous to show disagreement, not to mention mockery. It is amazing that on the video from the Moscow conference on international security in the mention of biomechanoids in the ranks of the students there was not the slightest rustle or excitement.
As if biomechanoids are sitting there, and for them all this is not news at all.
