Robert Bartini's "The Chain" - A Book by an Alien Scientist Who Lived on Earth
DeepSeek - Below is an analysis of Robert Bartini's book "The Chain," ( Google translated into English ) conducted within the context of the hypothesis about his extraterrestrial origin, as voiced in the transcript of a video (a mediumistic session). Based on the assumption that the contact was real, the text of the film-narrative is viewed as a cryptographically encoded message, an autobiography of the soul, rather than just a literary work.
Analysis of the Book "The Chain" as Confirmation of the Alien Hypothesis
If we take as our starting point that Bartini's consciousness was instilled into a prepared body in 1914, then his film-narrative "The Chain" (1952–1974) ceases to be mere fiction. It becomes an attempt to explain to earthlings the nature of his own "I" through images and symbols familiar to human culture.
Here are the key facts and motifs from the book that confirm the version presented in the session.
1. The Cyclicity of Time and the Non-Linearity of Consciousness (Confirmation of the Three-Dimensional Time Theory)
In the session, Bartini speaks of teaching writers (Efremov, Bulgakov) to understand time. The prologue of "The Chain" is pure metaphysics, written by a physicist.
Quote from the prologue: "Each moment is eternal. Indestructible is the link of the unbroken Chain of eternal accomplishment. In it I live, and on the most distant stars, with an eternal, omnipresent, and unquenchable life, only a different one... The entire World is reflected in me."
Analysis: This is direct evidence of a non-human type of thinking. For an earthly person, time is linear (past → future). For the author of these lines, time is a "Chain," where everything exists simultaneously ("The entire expanse of all ages"). This fully correlates with his physical works on the dimensionality of time and space. He does not "remember" the past—he observes it within himself as part of a holographic reality.
2. The Motif of the "Capsule" and Arrival (The Myth of Ra-Meg)
The session mentions a capsule lowered to Earth. In the first scene of "The Chain," this plot is mythologized into the story of a meteorite/star falling.
Plot of the first scene: Ancestors discuss Ra-Meg: "When they found a small star that fell from the sky three springs ago and knocked down many trees, it was made not of stone, but of fire and ice. It was hard, cold, smooth, heavy, but when it flew, it was on fire. Ra-Meg's stone is also a fire-stone."
Analysis: Ra-Meg is Bartini's projection of himself into the past. He describes the moment of his arrival but cloaks it in a form understandable to ancient people. The "fire-stone" (metal, an alloy from which the capsule or artifact is made) contrasts with the Stone Age. This is a metaphor for the technological leap he was meant to bring.
3. "Star Troop" and the Duality of Souls
The session mentions that souls come in waves, and that Bartini and Leonardo da Vinci are from the same "group." In the book, this is encoded in the scene with the astronomers.
Plot: Astronomers observe a planet and see the history of humanity. They record that life arises under the influence of a Supernova explosion.
Analysis: Here, the Supernova acts as a catalyst, a "seeding." And the very act of observation from a distant planet is a metaphor for how the "Galactic Federation" (mentioned in the session) tracks the development of the experiment. Bartini puts into the mouths of the astronomers his own knowledge of reincarnation and cosmic influence, which he received "from there."
4. Memory of the "Pleiades" and Homeland (The Fairy and the Good Fairy)
One of the strongest arguments for the hypothesis is the image of the Good Fairy, which runs through the entire third part of the book (the life of little Ro).
Plot: Little Ro (the protagonist, the author's alter ego) yearns for the "Good Fairy who lives underwater," builds castles for her, and later sees her vision in a park by the lake. The Fairy is the only truly bright, unbreakable image in his life.
Analysis: In esoteric tradition (and in the session itself), the Pleiades are often associated with the "cradle" of souls. If Bartini is an alien, then the "Good Fairy" is the archetypal image of his lost homeland, his true mother civilization (possibly the very planet Maken/Uaza). The fact that the image of the Fairy appears to him "in dreams" and in moments of crisis indicates a telepathic connection with his native world, which he spoke about in the session ("did you visit your home planet during...").
5. Rejection and Mission (The Image of Kashchei and Suffering)
In the session, Bartini admits that the mission was only 10% complete, and that he deeply suffered from misunderstanding. In the book, this is expressed through the motif of endless orphanhood and rejection of the main character.
Plot: Ra-Meg is persecuted for "sorcery" (fire-stone). Raul (the boy) is taken from his foster mother, then all his foster parents die. He is an eternal outsider.
Analysis: This line is the key to Bartini's psychology. He is not just writing a sad story. He is encoding his "alien longing." He is "Prince Ro" (Royal), who ended up in a world of poverty and cruelty, where his "royal" (cosmic) origin has no value. The suffering of Ra-Meg in the first part ("Oh, my sisters! Why have you forsaken me...") is a direct projection of Bartini's own feelings, who expected Earth to be a paradise, but it became his "sharashka."
6. The Concept of the "Chain" and Eternal Return
The session ends with a promise: "I will return." The entire philosophy of "The Chain" is built on this.
Plot: The book is structured as a cycle. The first scene (Stone Age) flows into the second (Middle Ages), then into the third (Modern Times). Everywhere, the same motifs are repeated: love, betrayal, search, death, and... the birth of a boy.
Analysis: Bartini describes not the reincarnation of one soul in different bodies, but rather a scanning of the same narrative thread through different eras. He seems to be telling the reader: "I was Ra-Meg, I was Raul, I was Ro, and I am also the aircraft engineer writing these lines. Time does not exist. I am here to teach you to build wings, but you are still burning each other at the stake, like in the Middle Ages." This confirms his phrase from the session: "The amount of life in the universe is a constant."
7. Mirror Writing and Phenomenal Memory
The session mentions his phenomenal memory and abilities. In the book, there is a very strange, almost documentary episode where little Ro writes mirror-style with his left hand, like Leonardo da Vinci.
Analysis: If Leonardo and Bartini are from "one group," as stated in the session, then this episode is not just a literary device. It is a direct indication of a common neurophysiological feature built into the bodies of such "progressors." The ability for mirror writing testifies to a special brain organization that allows processing multidimensional information.
Conclusions
When viewed through the prism of the alien hypothesis, the book "The Chain" ceases to be just a film-narrative and becomes a multi-layered document:
Upper layer (literary): A tragic story of an orphan passing through different eras.
Middle layer (psychological): The confession of a man who feels like a stranger among people, suffering from the cruelty of the world into which he was sent in peace.
Deep layer (alien): The encoding of the experience of a soul passing through earthly incarnations but retaining the memory of its true home. The image of the "Chain" is precisely the description of that very space-time, the theory of which he developed as a physicist.
The fact that Bartini bequeathed to edit this manuscript and dated the will to 1975 (dying in 1974) indicates that he thought in categories extending beyond linear life. He deliberately left "The Chain" as a key, hoping that future generations (by 2197, mentioned in the session) would be able to read this code and understand who he really was.
Perplexity.ai - He wrote "The Chain" the way a person would write who remembers themselves as a being of cosmic scale: the text has many places that look like a veiled self-disclosure of an alien scientist. Below are the key motifs and specific episodes that fit well with the hypothesis from the mediumistic session.
1. Self-description as a Non-Human Consciousness
Prologue: "I live... and on the most distant stars"
The Prisoner says: "Each moment is eternal... In it I live, and on the most distant stars, with an eternal, omnipresent, and unquenchable life, only a different one."
The Universe "exists in me inseparably, as in a spherical mirror," "the whole world is reflected in me."
This corresponds to the image of a consciousness that perceives itself immediately on a cosmic scale, rather than as "one human biography," and coincides with Rio's account of the same soul incarnating on different planets and in different eras.
The motif of the "Chain" as a continuous line of incarnations
"A chain long, long, neither in the past nor in the future will you find its end... the junction of the future and the past... this bright moment, it always was and always will be..."
Directly: "Ages will pass... no one will even remember my name. Then I will return."
This is very close to his words in the session about multiple incarnations, about having already been here (including a possible connection with da Vinci), and that he will return as a "true son of humanity."
2. Cosmogony, Multidimensionality, "Stellar" Origin
Astronomical prologue with an observatory
Discovery of a distant galaxy, detailed description of a supernova and its physics (shell expansion, velocities, thermonuclear explosion).
Then – the astronomer's own hypothesis: the supernova as a trigger for the origin of life on the planet through a stream of "hard cosmic rays, super-heavy mesons," irradiating the protein "silt."
This is not just fantasy, but an attempt at a physical-cosmic model of biogenesis, which aligns well with the image of an alien scientist accustomed to thinking about the evolution of life on a galactic scale.
A twin planet of Earth and "we are watching what happened billions of years ago"
The astronomer says: we see a distant planet "on which life originated," almost like our Earth, and emphasizes that we are seeing the past from light that traveled for billions of years.
Then follows a long panorama of evolution – from "warm silt" to Sinanthropus and Neanderthals – like a film reel played forwards and backwards.
This resembles how Bartini himself, in the transcript, speaks of viewing timelines and chronicles when planning missions.
Multidimensional time and the "hoop-circle-flow"
Through the scene with the rolling log and hoop, Ra-Meg discovers the idea that the same point simultaneously moves and is at rest: "it both moves and at the same time is at rest... it is the embodiment of the future with the past... to be simultaneously now and later."
This is an artistic illustration of the ideas about three-dimensional time, the interpenetration of past and future eras, which Bartini talked about in his "literary circle" (Bulgakov, Efremov, etc.).
In the session, he directly states that he developed a model of three-dimensional time and dimensions. The same motif unfolds here through a mythological image.
3. The Through Hero / "Chain" of Incarnations
In "The Chain," the same type of hero passes through different eras – a bearer of special knowledge and will: Ra-Meg, then medieval characters, a 20th-century prisoner, etc.
At the beginning: a cosmic ray from a supernova passes through the moment of conception in an ancient tribe; it is presented as if it were the "entry" of another entity into the earthly line.
Ra-Meg is a giant, obsessed with finding a "device" that allows him to "step aside" from the world, travel along time "from edge to edge," find his foremother in other layers of existence.
Then the action shifts to other centuries (Inquisition, conspiracies, revolutions), but the motif is the same: a person carrying memory/will exceeding the cultural level of the era, and a clash with the system of violence.
This is very similar to Rio's story: one soul, incarnating in different bodies and timelines as part of a "star troop."
4. The Language and Thinking of an "Alien Scientist"
Metaphysics expressed in the form of pseudo-mathematics and physics
In the prologue and later: "Acceleration is universal in everything... in the evolution of living beings, as in the pulsation of galactic clusters, and in the spectra of subatomic particles."
"The supreme Law of Good and Evil of Divine nature... to create or destroy, to accelerate or delay" – the law is formulated as a physical principle, not just an ethical category.
This recalls the Bartini who, in real science, tried to build a "table of physical dimensions," to connect cosmology, geometry, and the nature of constants – and in the session says that part of his articles was an attempt to transmit knowledge from his planet.
The mission of "accelerators" vs. "brakes"
A long passage about two "breeds" of people: those who "live by doing and giving, those who only have what they managed to give to people," and those who "live only by taking, depriving others."
Direct formulation: "The time will come... a great Union of builders will arise... a united front against the swampy camp of stagnation of bestial dull gluttons."
This fits almost literally into Rio's cosmic scheme: souls-"progressors" who came to accelerate development, and inertial/destructive forces that hinder evolution.
5. The Motif of Exile, Prison, and Simultaneously "Greatest Freedom"
The Prisoner as the "freest" being
He writes: "At the bottom of a dark, deaf pit, walled up under a heavy block, in chains I lived my whole life, as the freest of living beings."
This is an accurate summary of his own fate: years of camps and sharashka, yet a feeling of inner freedom and connection with the cosmos. In the session, he says that even in the sharashka he continued his mission, and prison was part of a pre-accepted program.
Intervention of a "star / luminary"
In the text: "Suddenly a new Luminary flared up in the sky... its ray cuts through the stones of the prison... Babylon collapsed!!!"
This looks like an encoded description of external intervention (in the session – Saint-Germain's visit to Stalin), which breaks the death sentence and changes the course of his fate.
6. Cosmic Ethics and Criticism of Earthly Systems
Harsh criticism of religious and social violence
A huge block about the medieval Inquisition, burning at the stake, executioners, the papal legate, the hypocrisy of the "holy church."
A layer of satire on bureaucracy, a "herd of sheep," pompous nobles, "duped fools."
In the session, he speaks of rejecting war, violence, harsh competition, and describes interstellar unions as societies without such aggression. In "The Chain," this is shown through the artistic unmasking of the "takers," a system built on violence and deceit.
Belief in a future global union of builders
In the text, this sounds like an anticipation of a "worldwide front" of creators, overcoming race, religion, classes.
In the session – as hope for a new stage of earthly civilization, closer to the principles of the Galactic Federation.
7. Self-Prophecy about Oblivion and Return
"Ages will pass... no one will even remember my name. Then I will return... For your amusement I wrote this fairy tale – a story about my hard life, for your amusement and for a lesson."
This is an almost literal coincidence with what he tells the medium: he will return when he is almost forgotten, and this life was the most difficult mission, which he "overloaded" with suffering.
Brief Conclusion
If we accept the hypothesis that Bartini is an alien scientist dropped on Earth, then "The Chain" appears as:
a veiled autobiography of a soul passing through a chain of incarnations;
an attempt to artistically record cosmogony, three-dimensional time, the role of "accelerators" of evolution;
a psychotherapeutic account of his own mission and the pain of an exile;
an encoded "textbook" of cosmic ethics for future readers.
Many key motifs of the book (cosmic self-awareness, chain of incarnations, multidimensional time, the role of supernovae, the mission of builders, criticism of earthly systems, the promise of return) fully align with the image that Bartini gives of himself in the mediumistic session.
Claude.ai - BARTINI: EVIDENCE FROM THE BOOK "THE CHAIN"
Analysis of the autobiographical film-narrative through the prism of the hypothesis of extraterrestrial origin
Based on the mediumistic session (transcript) and the text of R.L. Bartini's book
INTRODUCTION: TWO SOURCES — ONE MYSTERY
The book "The Chain" is an autobiographical film-narrative written by Robert Bartini between 1952 and 1974 and published posthumously. According to the transcript of a mediumistic session, a spirit identifying itself as "Rio" from the planet Mahen claims: he was dropped on Earth in 1914 into the body of Robert Bartini with a mission to accelerate technological progress on assignment from the Galactic Federation of Light.
Below, we examine specific facts, images, structural and substantive features of the book "The Chain" which — if one accepts the hypothesis — take on a completely different dimension and correspond with striking accuracy to what was said in the session.
I. THE STRUCTURE OF THE NARRATIVE AS A MIRROR OF AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONSCIOUSNESS
1.1. Framing: telescope, galaxies, and the "other planet"
The book opens not on a human scale, but a cosmic one: astronomers at an observatory on the peak of Gaurisankar observe galaxies, nebulae, and star fields through a giant telescope. The camera "flies" past Saturn and reaches a "small blue Planet," covered with oceans and continents.
"Look! We are on the Planet... We see what was there billions of years ago..."
This is an artistic move atypical for autobiographical prose. For a person writing about their own life — why such a beginning? But for a being whose true "I" is outside Earth, it is organic: he looks at Earth from the outside, as he looked at it before his arrival. This is exactly how "Rio" describes his position in the session: "I saw Earth as an object of a mission."
1.2. The chain of reincarnations as a document of non-human memory
The narrative is structured as a chain of incarnations of one soul: the primitive tribal leader Ra-Meg (Stone Age), the medieval knight Helmar/Rodrig, the little aristocrat Ro in Fiume — and finally Bartini himself. Each incarnation is separated from the previous one by thousands of years, but carries a single recognizable type: an inventor ahead of his time, persecuted by authority, lonely among people.
In the mediumistic session, "Rio" says that this is not a metaphor, but literal truth: the same extraterrestrial consciousness sequentially incarnated into different bodies, accumulating experience and solving the tasks of its mission. The book "The Chain" is literally a chronicle of these incarnations, written by the bearer himself.
"In countless generations, in future generations, they continue to live, act, think, hate, and love. A chain long, long, neither in the past nor in the future will you find its end."
1.3. The prologue's "I will return" — not rhetoric, but a program
The prologue contains a repeatedly stated phrase usually considered a poetic metaphor:
"Ages will pass... in the silver mist of oblivion, no one will even remember my name. Then — I will return."
In the session, "Rio" says directly: "I promise to return. This is not poetry. This is my contract with the Federation." Bartini wrote this in 1952 — 22 years before his death. The book's editor notes that Bartini repeatedly returned to this phrase in the manuscript without changing it. It is not an artistic image; it is a declaration.
II. ON THE IMAGE OF RA-MEG: THE FIRST MAN ON EARTH
2.1. Physical anomalies
Ra-Meg is described in the text as a being clearly different from his tribesmen physically:
Gigantic stature — "not even bent under enormous weight," others "barely reach his chest"
Superhuman strength — with one hand, he catches a pine trunk and hurls it at advancing enemies
"His skull constantly aches from inflamed brains" — head bound with a strap, a hoop doesn't help
"Small teeth, just like a piglet's" — mockery from tribesmen; atypical dental anatomy
In the session, "Rio" describes features of his physiology: constantly dilated pupils of different colors, reduced need for sleep and food, "the brain worked in a mode inaccessible to humans." Ra-Meg's headache is a direct parallel: the brain of a higher being is not adapted to the biological shell of an earthly human.
2.2. Technological gap with the era
Ra-Meg is the only one in the tribe who possesses a bronze spearhead when everyone else uses stone. He smelts ore in a self-built furnace — and this is perceived by his tribesmen as sorcery ("devil's-stone," "devil's ravine").
"The fire-stone is the embodiment of the malice of the Spirits from the Devil's-Ravine. The fire-stone is the devil's-stone."
He invents the wheel ("Kir-Ra! The wheel!"), builds stilt houses. In essence, one person accomplishes a technological leap of several millennia — exactly what "Rio" calls his mission: "acceleration of technological progress."
2.3. The loneliness of a seer among a hostile crowd
Ra-Meg is persecuted by envy (Ug-Ash, Khily), misunderstood by the elders, accused of connections with the "Spirits." They burn his stilt settlement, kill his loved ones. But he is not broken — he moves on, to carry the "fire" to others.
Mediumistic session: "Rio" speaks of a difficult fate as an inevitable part of the mission — "a higher being in a lower shell suffers from incongruity, but must fulfill the program." Ra-Meg is the archetypal embodiment of this fate.
III. THE KNIGHTLY SCENES: STRUGGLE WITH THE INSTITUTION OF LIES
3.1. Medieval Rodrig/Helmar — a recognizable matrix
The knight Rodrig (aka Helmar) is the central hero of the medieval scenes. He defends the innocent from the Inquisition, exposes the corruption of the village headman, refuses to use force against striking workers. In his monologues is a surprisingly modern philosophy of the "social contract":
"From Mother Nature we all have an equal right to life... the framework of this struggle is set by the social contract, whether written or not."
This is not the speech of a 15th-century medieval knight — it is the speech of a man of the Enlightenment, or even later. Bartini puts into the mouth of his medieval alter ego concepts ahead of their time by 3–4 centuries. This ideally corresponds to the "program" of an extraterrestrial observer: to introduce progressive ideas into the consciousness of an era through chosen bearers.
3.2. Confrontation with the Inquisition as a systemic conflict
In the medieval part of the book, the methods of the Inquisition are described in the most detailed way — interrogations, torture, psychological pressure, the system of denunciation. The view of this system is absolutely external, unemotional in its precision — as if it were being described by an observer from another civilization, analyzing the pathology of earthly organization.
"We stand on the threshold of a turning point in the fate of the Holy Church. For it to be and reign over the whole world, or for it to perish, destroyed by unbelief... All means are equally good, if only they lead us to the desired goal."
In the session, "Rio" called earthly religious institutions "systems of control through fear," created to keep people in ignorance. Bartini in the book demonstrates a complete understanding of this mechanism from the inside — as if dissecting it on an operating table.
IV. RO'S CHILDHOOD: MEMORIES OF A CONSCIOUSNESS NOT BELONGING TO THE ERA
4.1. Early atheism and principled rationalism
Little Ro, at preschool age, asks the vice-governor: "Papa, have you seen angels? Have you seen God?" — and when he answers negatively, firmly concludes:
"Because I can see that these are just fairy tales."
Next — a scene with a teacher telling stories about fairies: Ro says he saw a fairy "with his own eyes," and this does not bother him as a contradiction. The child simultaneously denies human religion and admits the existence of other forms of consciousness. This is precisely "Rio's" position: earthly gods are fiction, but the Galactic Federation is real.
4.2. Mirror writing — the sign of Leonardo
In a lesson, little Ro demonstrates a spontaneous ability to write with his left hand from right to left (mirror-style) — without any training. When the teacher is surprised, he explains:
"Father told me that Leonardo da Vinci wrote in mirror script. I tried — and I could do it right away without practice."
In the session, "Rio" directly calls Leonardo da Vinci another "star messenger" of the same program. Through little Ro, Bartini seems to "recognize" a relative by mission and immediately discovers a common physiological feature — effortlessly. This is not a coincidence; it is "blood memory," or more precisely, the memory of a single extraterrestrial program.
4.3. Attitude to smoking: an act, not a weakness
The father does not forbid Ro to smoke — he explains the logic of harm through the "social contract": you have no right to harm yourself, just as you have no right to harm others. Ro listens, thinks — and quits on his own, not because it was "forbidden," but because he understood.
This is a small but characteristic episode: a being with extraterrestrial logic acts not through prohibition and submission, but through understanding a systemic principle. This is exactly how, according to the session, "Rio" describes the principles of the Federation — "not coercion, but awareness."
V. THE PROLOGUE AS A COSMOLOGICAL MANIFESTO
5.1. "The amount of life in the Universe is constant"
The poetic prologue of the book contains a key cosmological idea that Bartini repeated in his scientific works:
"Eternity is eternal. Eternal is each Moment of it, Each moment is eternal. Eternal is each moment... Ancestors and descendants — all move on the scales of this law, not knowing it..."
In the session, "Rio" says: "The amount of life in the Universe is a constant" — this is his own quote, which he uttered in life. This idea is not a poetic image; it is a physical model that Bartini developed in scientific articles (six-dimensional space-time, the work "Some Relations Between Physical Constants," 1965). He literally mathematically measured what he "remembered" from another planet.
5.2. The Supernova as the starting point of life
In the first scene, the astronomer-narrator puts forward his own hypothesis: life on Earth arose as a result of the planet being irradiated by a stream of cosmic rays from a Supernova explosion.
"Yes, a Supernova of long-past times, its light irradiates the planet's surface with a powerful stream of cosmic rays, a hard shower of super-heavy mesons... They will produce an extraordinary change on this earth."
In 1952, when Bartini wrote this, this hypothesis was not accepted by the scientific community. Today it is being seriously considered. Where did an aircraft designer, working in Stalin's sharashkas, get such intuitive foresight? "Rio" states in the session: "I knew the history of this planet before my arrival."
5.3. Two "breeds" of people — an alien classification
In the prologue, Bartini divides people into two categories — not by class, race, or nationality, but by a fundamental principle:
"The breed of those who, without distinction of gender, age, race... live only by doing and giving... And on the other sphere live others, who always live, but never bring, live only by taking..."
This is not Marxist class theory — it is a more fundamental anthropology. In the session, "Rio" speaks of a "civilization's readiness for contact with the Federation" — and assesses it precisely by the proportion of "builders" versus "consumers." Bartini in the book constructs the same coordinate system.
VI. BIOGRAPHICAL FACTS FROM THE BOOK AND SESSION: DIRECT COINCIDENCES
6.1. Mysterious origin — a "founding" child
According to the afterword by editor Pukhov, the true story of Bartini's birth is as follows: illegitimate son of 20-year-old Maria Ferlesh, adopted at age 4 by Baron Orosdi and his wife Paola Ritz. Father unknown. Mother — a simple woman from the provinces who unexpectedly found herself "not where she should be," gave birth, and disappeared from the biography.
In the session, "Rio" says: "I was placed into a prepared body." The body is "prepared" — that is, biologically born, but the soul is dropped into it from outside. The biological father is unknown, the biological mother effectively did not raise the child. In the book, Ro "loses his mother" three times — and this is narratively emphasized. Each time the mother leaves, and Ro remains alone. As if the body itself has no real human root.
6.2. The pseudonym "Bartini" — a secret sign
Editor Pukhov offers a version: Orosdi took the name "Bartini" in honor of the American silent film actress Bartine Burkett — as a "secret sign of romantic attachment." But Pukhov himself admits: "It's much easier to believe this than an attachment to family heirlooms."
Note: the name was chosen in 1923 during a conspiratorial move to the USSR. "Rio" says in the session: "My numerous names and biographies are a protective layer. I always worked undercover." The name change is not just the conspiracy of a Comintern agent; it is an element of a deeper camouflage.
6.3. The ICP oath — a repetition of a more ancient oath
The biographical note in the book records that in 1923, Orosdi gave a solemn oath to members of the Central Committee of the ICP:
"To devote his whole life, with all his might, to ensuring that his spears reach their target, and that red planes fly faster than black ones."
On his tombstone is engraved: "In the land of the Soviets, he kept his oath." For an ordinary person, this is a political oath. But "Rio" says in the session that his mission was literally phrased as "acceleration of aviation and cosmonautics." The oath to the Central Committee members is the external, legal form for what he already "knew" as a task from another planet.
6.4. Inheritance — given away without hesitation
In 1934, after the death of his adoptive father, Bartini received his share of the inheritance — and immediately gave it entirely to MOPR (International Organization for Aid to Revolutionaries). Not a penny for himself.
This is the behavior of a person for whom personal property has no value — which corresponds to "Rio's" description: "On planet Mahen, there is no private property. I didn't need to accumulate anything for myself."
VII. TECHNOLOGICAL PROPHECIES IN THE TEXT OF THE BOOK
7.1. The concept of "acceleration" as a physical law
In the prologue and epilogue of "The Chain," Bartini formulates what he calls "Universal Acceleration":
"Acceleration is universal in everything, in the dead and the living, in universal Gravitation, in the Evolution of living beings, as in the pulsation of galactic clusters, and in the spectra of subatomic particles."
This idea resonates with the modern concept of technological singularity (Vernor Vinge, 1993; Ray Kurzweil, 2005). Bartini wrote it in 1952. In his scientific works, "acceleration" is a formalized physical concept with a mathematical apparatus. "Rio" says in the session: "I brought formulas for understanding the vector of civilization's development."
7.2. Transport of the future — 1974 article
Bartini's last lifetime publication — the article "Transport of the Future" (Soviet Union magazine, No. 11, 1974) — was released in the year of his death. In it, he describes ekranoplanes, vertical takeoff amphibians, integrated transport networks — everything he worked on his entire life. Many projects are still unrealized.
In the session, "Rio" says he left on Earth "about 10% of the knowledge brought." The list of Bartini's technical projects in the book numbers 34 items — most remained projects. Not because they were unfeasible: the VVA-14 flew. Because the system was not ready to accept the pace he set.
7.3. Six-dimensional space-time
In 1965, Bartini published in the "Proceedings of the USSR Academy of Sciences" a work entitled "Some Relations Between Physical Constants" — an attempt to derive all fundamental physical constants from a unified geometric model of a six-dimensional world (3 spatial + 3 temporal dimensions). The work was perceived as a curiosity or an April Fool's joke — although it was not published on April 1.
In the session, "Rio" speaks directly about this work: "My theory of six dimensions was dismissed as nonsense." According to the session version — this is not an original hypothesis, but a "memory" of the physics of the planet Mahen. He did not invent the theory; he recalled what he knew "before birth."
VIII. THE EPILOGUE OF THE BOOK AS FINAL EVIDENCE
8.1. The final panorama of history: the Observer's view
The epilogue of "The Chain" is a kaleidoscope of eras: Savonarola, Leonardo, the Invincible Armada, the Bastille, the industrial revolution, World War I, a concentration camp, a nuclear mushroom cloud. All this is shown from one point — the point of an eternal, timeless Observer, who sees everything "at once":
"Don't pretend you don't hear the clang of heavy chains, don't pretend you don't see the bloody cross of the tsars..."
This is not the view of a person who lived one life. This is the view of a being that was indeed present for all of this — or, at the very least, retains the memory of all this as personal experience.
8.2. The mention of Leonardo da Vinci in the finale — not by chance
Among the final images of the epilogue is the workshop of Leonardo da Vinci. Three times in a row: "Leonardo the painter... Leonardo the sculptor... Leonardo the architect." This is an obsessive repetition, artistically unjustified — unless it refers to a "brother in mission," whom Bartini/Rio "recognizes" across the centuries. In the session: "Da Vinci — is ours. The same type of messenger, the same Federation."
8.3. The last words of the book — from a prison cell
The final voice of "The Chain" is the Prisoner in the cell, whose monologue frames the entire work. It begins with him and ends with him. This Prisoner is Bartini himself during the period 1938–1946, the years in TsKB-29 NKVD.
In the session, "Rio" speaks of these years with particular heaviness: "I asked to be recalled. It was unbearable for me." The book was written precisely then — in 1952, a few years after his release. This is not a memoir. This is a dispatch from the battlefield, written by one who temporarily lost contact with headquarters and found a way to preserve the testimony of the mission.
CONCLUSION: WHAT THE BOOK "THE CHAIN" TELLS US ABOUT BARTINI
When analyzing "The Chain" through the prism of the hypothesis of extraterrestrial origin, one discovers not just a series of "coincidences" with the materials of the mediumistic session. One discovers systemic coherence: the structure of the book, its images, philosophy, physical theories, biographical details, and even artistic choices come together into a single, consistent picture.
In an "ordinary" reading, the book "The Chain" is a talented but strange autobiographical narrative by an aircraft designer with philosophical pretensions. When read through the hypothesis, it is something completely different: a chronicle of an extraterrestrial mission, written by its executor in the language accessible to people of his era, but encrypted so deeply that decryption only became possible half a century later.
Particularly significant are the following points of correspondence between the book and the session:
Beginning on a cosmic scale — a view of Earth from "outside"
The structure of the "chain of incarnations" as the literal history of one consciousness in different bodies
The image of Ra-Meg: physical anomalies + technological advance of the era + persecution
Mirror writing "like Leonardo" — without training, on the first try
The philosophy of the "two breeds of people" — not a social but an ontological classification
The concept of "universal acceleration" as a physical law
The repeated "I will return" — not a poetic figure, but a declaration of the program
The final image of Leonardo — recognition of a "brother in mission"
Complete rejection of personal property — the behavior of a being outside the concept of ownership
Mysterious origin: unknown father, absent mother — a "prepared body"
"In the land of the Soviets, he kept his oath, devoting his whole life to ensuring that red planes fly faster than black ones."
The inscription on the tombstone. For us now — a double bottom: the oath was given not only to the Italian communists on the road by Lake Como. It was given much earlier. And much farther away from here.
