Jewish Man, Unemployed PhD, Stabbed Russian Journalist Because She Was "Harassing Him Telepathically" (2017)
Old, but the same tech used against him is being used today.
Russian journalist Tatyana Felgengauer, a deputy editor in chief and program host of the liberal Ekho Moskvy radio station, has been assaulted and stabbed in the station's offices in the center of Moscow.
Felgengauer was rushed into surgery following the October 23 attack, after which she was placed in a medically induced coma.
The authorities have identified the alleged attacker, who was detained at the scene, as 48-year-old Boris Grits, who has both Russian and Israeli citizenship.
The Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case into charges of attempted murder.
Moscow police released a 31-second video in which the suspect claims he has been in "psychic contact" with Felgengauer since 2012 and that in recent months she has "used telepathic contact" in order to sexually torment him.
Officials said the suspect was undergoing psychiatric evaluation.
Journalists have identified one blog as possibly belonging to Grits. It documents his largely unsuccessful efforts to find work as a computer programmer.
However, an entry dated October 20 accuses Felgengauer of "experimenting" on him psychically and causing him heart pain. The entry says Grits consulted with a Moscow "psychic" that he has known for 30 years about Felgengauer.
Ekho Moskvy editor in chief Aleksei Venediktov said the assailant rushed past station guards after spraying them with a chemical.
It is unclear how Grits made it to the station's offices on the 14th floor. The crowded building has only two public elevators that are notoriously slow.
Venediktov told RFE/RL that the attacker went directly into the room where Felgengauer was sitting.
"He knew the layout of the rooms at the station," Venediktov said. "There can be no doubt about that."
"The attacker didn't shout anything," station deputy editor in chief Sergei Buntman, who witnessed the attack, told the Meduza website. "Everything was quiet. He just walked up to her, grabbed her, and stabbed her."
The Uzbekistan-born Felgengauer, 32, is a stepdaughter of the well-known Russian journalist and military expert Pavel Felgenhauer. She has worked at Ekho Moskvy since 2005.
Owned by the Kremlin-controlled Gazprom natural gas company, Ekho Moskvy is one of the few remaining independent media outlets in Russia. It has managed to avoid being targeted for criminal investigations, which are often used in Russia to silence media.

“Using this telepathic contact she stole in every night and tormented me. … She had been (sexually) harassing me for two months,” the man says in the clip.
A blog post revealed by the Echo of Moscow also shows Grits claiming there would be “very unpleasant consequences” should her alleged stalking continue.
“Tatyana Felgengauer is stalking me non-stop: morning, day and night,” he wrote. “In a few weeks, I am coming to Moscow and if this does not stop the consequences could be very unpleasant.”

Putin seems unaware of the technique for creating crazy people and weaponizing them for chaos.
"A sick person showed up. What does freedom of speech have to do with it? He came from Israel and attacked a journalist," Putin was quoted by the state-run TASS news agency as saying.
Russian investigators said last week that they believe the attack was most likely driven by Grits’s “psychological instability” and that there is no convincing evidence of a hidden agenda or a third party involved in the stabbing.
