This is n-o-t the capitol. It's a relatively small city with a population of 70,000. When one security guy asked them for their identity papers, they got in comm with him and it ended up with him taking them up to the Bridge where they were introduced to the Captain and eight other crew members. They distributed the WTH booklet to all of them, and most of the crewmembers asked our two guys to autograph the booklets. Altogether they distributed 15 WTH booklets on the ferry. Having arrived in Krasnovodsk, they went to the city hall to get a meeting with the Mayor. He was out of town so they met with and spoke to his deputy: Mr. Allayarhan Geldieviech Geldiev. His official post title is Deputy Khakim of Krasnovodsk. They presented the Russian Profile to him, took him through the booklet and explained various technologies to him. He was given a copy of the LB DMSMH and WTH, as well as a bunch of WTH booklets and another DMSMH. They spoke about the use of Dianetics and that he will need to send 3 people for training the HHC/OTL but that first of all he would need to study the DMSMH book. he said sending up 3 people for training would be possible through the Ministry of Education. The next person they met with was Charnasar Kocheev. He is the head of the Department of Education within the city government and Mayor's Office. He was given the Russian BSM and was briefed about study tech. While they were meeting, two school directors came and were also briefed about study tech. On 26 August, there is a city conference on education which will be attended by the Dept of Education officials and teachers. Kocheev will present the BSM at that occasion. The biggest problem they have in the education area is a lack of textbooks and materials. The next person they met with was Chief Dr. Sochid Ibrahim Ogil Gazanov of the City Health Hospital. He was given assist booklets in Russian and English. He was given a locational, became very uptone and got in excellent comm with our two guys. The problem they have is no funding for the hospital so they even tear up bedsheets to make bandages out them. The lack of funds further is a reason why they do not have lots of medical drugs - so any technology that does not use drugs is very welcome by them. Next person seen was Rima Avanesian. She is a 40 year old nurse and quite energetic. She had fever and pain in her leg and was given a touch assist for an hour after which she felt a lot better. She was given the DMSMH book and assist booklet. Different aspects of the tech were discussed with her, and she was also given a locational. She agreed to disseminate DMSMH wherever she could and was then given another 10 DMSMH books. She will send us the names of the people she is giving them to, and will set up working with these people to set up a Dianetics group and then a center of which she will be the In Charge. The next person seen was Lidia Kligina. She is teacher in a Kindergarten. She's a very active person and has comm lines into the city Education Dept. The BSM was given to her, and she will also be at the 26 August education conference to push for using the BSM in schools. Sergej, the son of Lidia goes to a prestigious Russian speaking school in Krasnovodsk and will present the BSM to the head of that school. Summary: Turkmenistan was opened, and we have two groups and IC's. The Dianetics group IC is Rima Avanesian. The Study tech group IC is Charnasar Kocheev. Follow up project: a. Write follow up letters to each of the persons contacted and send them a copy of the latest HHC newsletter which contains the detailed news about the Sachalin project. These letters will be sent out from CO SMI to all Dianetics reaches and from CO ABLE CIS to all study tech reaches. b. CO ABLE to get specific follow up done for the August 26 education conference in the city to ensure the BSM gets accepted and used in the schools. c. Get arranged via an allied professor in Moscow, a date and lecture place in one of Achahbad's Institutes on the subject of Dianetics and assist technology (Achahbad is the capitol of of Turkmenistan). d. Provide the Dianetics IC, Rima, with a copy of Russian Dianetics TV shows and get her to get them shown on Turkmenyan national TV. Ml Diethelm - T/CO OTL CIS
