Did some trimming due to the fact that scientific test accounts, failsafes, methods and records can be easily found. Try supernature by lyall watson as an easily available one. It does not however mention the frog killing one, what is the source on that one again??

trimmed again the same bit,[leave it out now] heres a link from the parapsychological institute of numerous records of the experiments and failsafes carried out with nina kulagina http://perso.wanadoo.fr/basuyaux/parapsy_eng/documents/abstracts/PK.txt so stating that the experiments and there failsafes had no records is untrue.

Does anyone know the town she is from?

Neutrality

At least the second paragraph is not neutral at all. -- þħɥʂıɕıʄʈ^ʝɘɖı 23:55, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have reworded the second paragraph, let me know if there are any other issues. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 00:41, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well there's a paragraph "trickery" which states that some people believed there was trickery involved. Why isn't there a paragraph "telekinesis" which states that some people believed there was telekinesis involved? Why side with one group of people and give their side a whole paragraph when the claims of trickery have never been proved? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Choice777 (talk • contribs) 18:07, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Duh. Telekinesis is the obvious interpretation everybody immediately sees - but does not necessarily believe. It is pretty obvious that the gullible part of humanity believes it. Why does it need to be spelled out? And "have never been proved" is a bit disingenious, since she has been caught doing it. Are you one of those who won't believe a fraud is a fraud unless she has been caught every time (which will only happen to utterly incompetent ones)? --Hob Gadling (talk) 20:11, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Plagiarism

Parts of this appear to be plagiarized. For example, the sentence reading in part "Sergeyev was one of many scientists present when Nina attempted to use her energy" can be found in many places around the net, and perhaps more tellingly, there is no other mention of a "Sergeyev" in the article, so I have no idea who this is even referring to (it's actually Dr. Genady Sergeyev) without referring to other sources such as http://weird-people.com/psychic-nina-kulagina/ (the specific "borrowed" section is on page two of that link) Snowrail (talk) 17:55, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Birth

Should her birthday say 1826..? (Currently, the page says "30 July 1926 – April 1990.") — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vokesk (talk • contribs) 17:18, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Kulagin also agreed to undergo testing with Americans

"However, Kulagin also agreed to undergo testing with Americans such as Montague Ullman, which places doubt on the propaganda hypothesis." Short question: Why? If such a test by an American would help to make Kulagina's alleged psychic powers more believable, why would it be an argument against the propaganda hypothesis? Wouldn't the UdSSR try to make those alleged psychic powers as believable as possible, if it wanted to use them as propaganda? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.226.203.107 (talk) 10:17, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The propaganda hypothesis is not credible

If this was meant to be a propaganda action, why the soviet establishment would allow soviet scientists and investigators to dismiss it.. If the dismissals were real..

Sources regarding trickery are unreliable

These are pulp writings, popular books, not actual scientific documents. 94.53.248.165 (talk) 18:02, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Videos with her performance

In one of the recordings, she moves a group of matches and a matchbox covered by a transparent box. Either the whole recording team was involved in trickery, either here is no explanation how she could manipulate these non metallic objects without wires. In other video (min. 14 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VZVCxjTFRo ) she was filmed by 2 German scientists moving covered objects. 94.53.248.165 (talk) 18:02, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
