Here's an interesting quote from that document:

> Routine use of electro-sleep therapy was accepted without question by every individual with whom I came in contact in the Soviet Union.
>
> The importance of electro-sleep in the Soviet Union may be seen from the fact that there are over 300 stations now operating, each with an M. D. in charge.  Officials seem so convinced of the effectiveness of treatment that Banschschikov and Roitenburd report difficulty in obtaining more funds to do further research; the feeling being that its value has already been proven.
>
> While the claims for electro-sleep seem grossly exaggerated, and even suggest "quackery", the fact remains that data is available on over 100,000 patients treated over the past 12 years.  In addition, personnel with whom I had contact in Austria, Switzerland, France, and Italy fully corroborate these findings.

The document is dated 1965.  The author is a worker in the field of
"electro-anesthesia".
