Even in Soviet times, before perestroika, there was a special laboratory in the USSR at the Institute of Information Technologies, where they studied the extrasensory abilities of people, trying to explain them from a scientific point of view. It was there that Nikolai Arbenin and Viktor Stavitsky first met. Their confrontation, which began as a struggle between two men for a woman’s heart, over the years develops into a real “battle of psychics” - only it takes place not on a television screen, but in real life. The end of 1988 - the beginning of 1989: the time when psychics gathered full houses; performed live on radio and central television channels. The time when the confrontation between Nikolai Arbenin and Viktor Stavitsky reaches its climax. The book is based on the script of the film “The Miracle Worker”
