Igor Viktorovich Smirnov (Russian: Абакумов Игорь Викторович, Смирнов Игорь Викторович) (April 5, 1951 November 5, 2004) was a controversial Russian scientist best known for his role in Soviet-era mind control research as well as an obscure field of human behavior study he called "psychoecology". He was a son of Soviet Minister of State Security Viktor Abakumov, who was executed for his role in Joseph Stalin's political repressions.
