Abstract
We begin this issue of the Journal of Russian and East European Psychology with Mikhail Iaroshevskii's analysis of an interesting and disturbing trend in contemporary Russian popular culture— the tremendous popularity of television personalities who engage in various forms of mystic healing and soothsaying. Every day millions of Russians tune in to fortune-tellers, New Age prophets, and would-be tele-psychotherapists in the belief that the special powers of these "miracle workers" can be transmitted through the television set. Iaroshevskii notes that so widespread is belief in the efficacy of such practices that some politicians have adopted their procedures in hope of influencing voters.
