Īs part of the KGB's Science and Technology Directorate, she participated in numerous experiments in ESP, telepathy and telekinesis - potentialities that the Soviet Union generally took more seriously than the West. This security, intelligence and counterintelligence organization underwent multiple name changes since its inception in 1917 and - depending on the time she joined - would have been known by Spalko as the NKVD, the NKGB, the MGB and the MVD - and would become, in 1954, the Komityet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti or KGB (Committee for State Security). Įventually Spalko obtained a doctorate and joined the Soviet secret police. She studied classical fencing and became expert with the rapier, the saber and the foil.

She learned techniques developed by Nepalese monks to control her heart rate, her breathing and her body temperature. Her singular quest took her far and wide she studied with master yogis and trained with the best parapsychologists. As soon as she was old enough, she fled the village and mountains altogether, certain that the answers she sought could only be found in the wider world. Then, as she grew older and more curious, her dissecting of small animals - her innocent attempt to understand life and biology - caused even her own mother to fear her. Left to herself, she gradually became consumed by a personal quest that would fuel her from then to the last day of her life. When her apparent psychic powers began to manifest themselves, the superstitious villagers shunned her, called her a witch, and worse. She was raised in a small mountain village in the eastern regions of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. While demanding to know "everything" from the lost city's otherworldly hive mind at the Temple of Akator, Spalko was disintegrated. In order to accomplish her goals, Spalko captured American archaeologist Indiana Jones and his loved ones, but ultimately her thirst for knowledge sealed her fate. In 1957, as part of her mandate to acquire artifacts with the potential for paranormal military application, Spalko led a team with Siberian Colonel Antonin Dovchenko to find the mysterious Crystal Skull of Akator with which to brainwash and manipulate the minds of American forces, giving the Soviets a tactical advantage in the Cold War. Born with apparent psychic powers which led her to be ostracized in her early life, Spalko was consumed with the desire to discover why she was different. She was also a KGB agent, a psychic, as well as a very skilled fencer and combatant during the Cold War. Polkovnik Vrach Irina Spalko (Russian: Ирина Спалько Ukrainian: Ірина Спалко) served in the Soviet Army as a military scientist – Joseph Stalin's favorite – and a senior officer up to the rank of Colonel. " I want to know everything!" ―Irina Spalko
